As I’ve said before, I always think about “balance” as a verb, not a noun.
I’m making some adjustments so that I can better balance every day. These are kind of crazy times. I’ll revisit in a month or so, to see where I’m at, to see where the world is at.…
Ever since I figured out that I was having difficulty balancing, I’ve been doing my balance/strength pose every morning, even on mornings when I don’t do my full yoga routine.
Basically, stand on one leg. Grab the ankle of the other leg behind you.…
