i was reading Cool Yoga Tricks, which i keep handy as a reference. i was surprised about what Miriam suggested about doing a simple forward fold. she said look at yourself next to a mirror - your butt should not be sticking out, and your weight needs to be centered with respect to your feet. she said rock slightly back and forth (in forward fold) to "feel" where you should be centered. Eye sight - make sure you focus for awareness of your spatial occupancy to aid your body in its alignment. in an article i read somewhere, seniors fall because their eyesight might be unattuned. someone mentioned balancing with eyes closed - this is good training when you're spending time working on balance, but everyday activities need to make sure your eye awareness (when eyes are opened) is in sync with your sense of gravity.

I did Beth/Toaster’s yoga workout called Embrace the Awkward. It had some great balance moves, some that were new to me. I recommend it for anyone interested in yoga and balance improvement.
