Do you struggle with your balance? Are you looking to take your yoga to the next level? Do you want to incorporate fun and challenging, bitesize yoga sessions into your day?
In this 15-day online yoga course, world-renowned yoga instructor, founder of Yoga 15, and athlete Abi Carver, teaches you the poses and sequences you need to improve your balance and body awareness skills.
In yoga, we train balance with one-legged standing poses, arm balances and advanced twists. We hold these postures for 2-3 breaths each and sequence them together into dynamic flows. In this course, you will learn them all, so that you too can be a Balancing Master!!
The benefits of balance training:
Our daily lives are increasingly complex, and training balance can help in many ways beyond the physical. Studies have shown that balance training can lead to benefits for your brain as well!
-
Balance training strengthens networks in the brain that control mental efficiency, improving concentration, focus and alertness.
-
Enhances coordination, body control and agility by speeding up neuromuscular communication.
-
Improves the ability of the muscles to react quickly and precisely.
-
Improves the integration of sensorimotor control from visual, proprioceptive, vestibular, and motor inputs.
-
Demands full concentration and the dropping of extraneous thoughts, which quiets the mind.
-
Requires determination and perseverance, which builds mental resilience.
Advantages of training balance with yoga:
-
Yoga offers a variety of complex movements and poses to incorporate into your balance training.
-
In yoga, we practice static-hold as well as dynamic-flow balance sequences.
-
Practicing barefoot enhances the effectiveness of the mechanoreceptors in your feet. These mechanoreceptors pick up subtle sensations as your balance shifts, making your movements more accurate and precise.
-
In yoga, we practice drishti or ‘focused gaze’ in balance poses. Using the drishti, much like the breath, enhances concentration and focus.
-
Practicing balancing sequences increases your confidence to try more difficult poses and take on new challenges.

Yoga helps me to clear my mind from stress.
Madhusmita AGGARWAL –
Some balancing poses are difficult to hold but really worth it. Balance is actually the essence of yoga, learnt in this session
Megan Singh –
The narrator’s voice was a little young and a bit monotonous.
Anna Turek –
I love the course, I am 5 courses in so far, it is challenging. For some poses I am not stretchy enough but I don’t stretch that much normally so that’s expected. I was hesitant to try any yoga course before so I’m starting with this one. It’s short and sweet and relaxes me so I’d recommend it to anyone. Definitely challenges my balance :). I’m looking forward to doing another course like this when I’m done.
Update: I finished the course! 😀 It grew gently, more and more challenging with every class. I really liked the explanation of the final peak pose in the very last class. I will definitely be redoing it. Thank you!
