Balances

Balance poses teach you to stand on one leg steadily and without extra tension. Tree Pose is the easiest place to start; then add Eagle, Warrior III, Dancer and Half Moon. A fixed point for your gaze, a strong standing foot and calm breathing all help.

If you wobble, keep a hand on the wall: that's a normal stage of learning.
