What are the yoga balance poses?

Yoga is a very good way to keep fit, especially for women. It can not only help women to exercise calmly, but also relax their minds and enhance their body flexibility. In yoga, you can choose different ways of practicing according to what you want to practice. Among them, yoga balance poses are mainly used to increase the balance of the human body. So what are the methods for yoga balance poses?

1. Tree Pose

From Mountain Pose, shift your weight to your right foot, bend your left knee, and open from your hip to the left. Keeping your hips open, place your left foot on the inside of your right thigh or calf (not your knee). Put your hands together over your chest. Lengthen upward from your tailbone and drop your shoulders. Hold for 5 deep breaths. If you want to make it more difficult, try closing your eyes!

2. Eagle Pose

Start in Tadasana and draw your right knee up toward your chest. Bend your left knee, cross your right leg over your left leg, and hook your right foot back around your left calf.

Intertwine your hands, with the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom, and put your hands together with your fingertips facing up. Drop your hips, square your hips, and lift your elbows and fingertips. Keep your arms parallel to the ground and your fingers away from your face, spreading your shoulders. Hold for 5 deep breaths, then repeat on the other side.

3. Submersible

Start in mountain pose, with your knees slightly bent and your heels elevated. Fold forward from the hips, with your arms at your sides, palms facing each other. Pull your navel toward your spine and tilt your head downward toward the ground. Try to hold for 5 deep breaths.

4. Half Moon Twist

Start in Warrior III, placing your hands on the ground, stepping your right foot into the ground, and extending your left leg back. Start with the Half Moon pose, extending your left arm upward and keeping your right fingertips on the ground. Look up at your thumb, take a deep breath, and keep your knees soft. Then take a deep breath, support your body with your left hand on the ground, extend your right hand upward, and start opening from the hip. Take a deep breath, then return your right fingertips to the ground, returning to Warrior III. Repeat 5 times, then switch sides.

5. Warrior III Variation

Start from Mountain Pose, shift your center of gravity to your right leg, slightly bend your right knee, and extend your left leg backward. Fold your body forward and down until your hind legs are in a straight line with your body. Keep your hands at your sides with your palms facing each other. Hold for 5 breaths, then repeat on the other side.

6. Dancer pose

Start from Mountain Pose, shift your center of gravity to your left leg, bend your right knee, and reach back with your right hand to grab the instep of your foot. Extend your left hand upward. Push your heels away from your buttocks and open your back. Hold for 5 deep breaths and repeat on the other side.
