Transcript

if you're struggling with balance and tree pose or any other yoga pose here's the fix there's a common misconception that if we just keep practicing a pose badly it'll get better but I'm going to show you why that's not true first let's consider the foot like a tripod balancing on the heel big toe and little to mount so I lean my weight into that foot focused on the points and place my hands at the wall now we're training the important muscles needed to support the body in balance instead of recruiting the others over a period of weeks eventually try taking one hand and both hand away right
