There are many yoga poses that support balance. HOW YOGA CAN HELP US DEVELOP BALANCING SKILLS And the centering of our minds on our bodies sharpens mindfulness, so that we’re more apt to recognize subtle signs of imbalance in our bodies before we fall. Many asanas are specifically designed to improve balance. But we may also be at risk because of a lack of attention or underdeveloped proprioception and interoception. Slippery or uneven surfaces, intoxication or illness can cause falls. Inner ear problems can disrupt the vestibular system.
Without balancing skills, simple activities become not only challenging, but can even be dangerous.Īs we age, some of the factors that contribute to good balance can begin to decrease. For example, something as common as walking down the street and turning your head to talk to a friend requires a healthy sense of balance. A good sense of balance allows us to perform our daily tasks with a sense of stability and ease. WHAT IS BALANCE?īalance is our ability to recognize our position relative to the objects around us, including the surface on which we’re standing or walking. I share this story to emphasize that no matter your age or your lifetime of habits, you can improve your balancing skills. Within six months, she was stable in balancing poses, for the first time in decades. Patricia enjoyed it so much that she began to practice foot yoga daily on her own. When she was around 75 years old, we started beginning most of our classes with foot yoga. While she was quite agile in most ways, her balance was forever shaky-and kind of scary for me as a teacher. Patricia attended my classes for about 25 years. Years ago, a longtime yoga student I’ll call “Patricia” was by far the most balance-challenged person I’d encountered. But all is not lost we can cultivate our balancing skills at any age. Clearly, falls are epidemic among seniors. About 3 million people are treated in emergency rooms each year after taking a fall.
