15-Minute Yoga For Better Balance

Description

Is your balance a little off? And are you looking for some short workouts to elevate you to balance mastery?

Join Abi Carver, expert Udemy instructor with over 90,000 students and 9000 x 5* reviews, on a journey to improve your balance, coordination and body control.

Why yoga?

In yoga we have a series of postures that are designed to perfect your balancing skills, including one-legged standing poses, arm balances and advanced twists. And because yoga is a holistic health system, we also pay close attention to the breath, the integration of different muscle groups and simultaneously increase total body flexibility and mobility.

What also makes yoga is special is that we don't practice balance poses in isolation but sequence them together in dynamic flows. So with consistent practice, we teach ourselves functional balance that incorporates body control, accuracy of movement, coordination, agility and enhances our powers of concentration.

Balance training and the brain

Balancing sequences not only train physical skills, including stability, proprioception and coordination but also have significant neurological benefits.

• 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 accurately.

• 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.

• Increases your confidence to try more difficult poses and take on new challenges.

Structure of the course

Abi will guide you through this 15-video course. Each session lasts 15 minutes and increases in difficulty as we work through the program. You can practice the videos over 15 days or pace yourself and spread out your training over a period of weeks or months. And the beauty of these sessions is that you can return to them over and over to continue to refine your balancing skills.

I intend to do all her challenges and i highly recommend it for all my friends. thanks you for a great course." Namaste Maha Helal

"This is a great course and Abi is a fantastic teacher. The pace is just right and she always seems to give instruction at just the right time that I wouldn't expect from someone who's not in the room with me. For example, just when I don't realize that my jaw, shoulders, etc are tensing up in a pose, her voice will come over and say to relax them. Thanks, Abi!" Christie Ciccolone

"Fantastic course. Just what I needed. Straight to the point east to understand yoga that keeps my body working for martial arts, weight lifting , life and playing with my kids. Couldn’t recommend highly enough." Paul Smith

"The teacher is very well prepared and - a very rare quality - is not an "exhibitionist": she doesn't want us to see how limber she is but she wants us to learn the positions and wants to stimulate us to practice yoga every day. Brava!" Simone Bedetti

"Wasn't sure what to expect from Yoga but it is simply amazing! I had lower back issues from long sitting because of work and within a week it went nearly completely away. The 15 minutes each day pass sooo quick and I'm always surprised when the session is over. Can absolutely recommend. Nice and clear instructions both visual and audio. Do yourself a favor and try this course! :)" Alexander Asbeck

"I LOVE this course! I love Abi's calm, instructive voice, and how she eases you into the poses. The video quality is excellent, as well as the sound. Simple and elegant. I feel like the material she covers is excellent, and am already feeling myself becoming more flexible. Excited that this is now a part of my daily routine! Perfect for my work breaks." Chantile Ferriera

"Abi's 15 minute routines are perfect for those who need a quick yoga workout at the beginning of a busy day or at the end of a long one. I've tried one hour programs that seem to take up too much time in the morning and resulted in more often than not, me skipping the workout all together. Fifteen minutes is just enough to get a good stretch in to get you ready for the rest of your day." Scott Chin

"I also engage in personal yoga practice, which has given me a good understanding of various poses. Incorporating these 15-minute sessions into my routine has a profound effect on re-energizing me and setting a positive tone for the rest of my day. It never ceases to amaze me how dedicating just a quarter of an hour to focus solely on my well-being can have such a transformative impact on my mind." Allysa Chet
