Balance training isn’t about eliminating wobble completely.

It’s about improving your ability to respond to instability.

In this video I use Tree Pose to demonstrate 3 ways to progressively challenge balance:
•closing the eyes
•hopping on one leg
•hopping on the toes

The stabilizing muscles and nervous system adapt through challenge, recovery, and responsiveness.

Most people use their feet wrong

Standing balances are often taught through the lens of core strength, but I think the feet deserve far more attention.

In this video I explore:
•grounding through the feet
using the 3 or 4 corners of the feet
•creating stability from the ground up
•the “bubbling spring” point from Qi Gong

Sometimes better balance comes from improving connection and responsiveness rather than creating more tension.

Yogic & Holistic Approach To Knee Pain

A yogic approach to knee pain looks beyond the knee joint itself 👀

Instead of only focusing on the area that hurts, we explore the whole movement chain.
Questions we might ask:
✔️ Are the arches collapsing or overly rigid?
✔️ Are the thighs rolling inward?
✔️ Is femur rotation affecting knee tracking?
✔️ Is hip or pelvic alignment influencing the knees?
✔️ Are tight hips limiting movement options?
✔️ Is there a lack of movement variety in daily life?

Often the knees are responding to patterns happening above and below them.

The body works together — not as isolated parts.
This is why mobility, alignment, awareness, and movement habits all matter.

Knee Pain in Cross-Legged Positions? It May Be Your Hips.

A lot of discomfort in cross-legged yoga positions doesn’t actually start at the knee 👀

Often, the issue is limited flexibility or rotation at the hip joint.

When the hips don’t comfortably open, the knees can end up absorbing extra stress and tension.

Simple modifications that may help:
✔️ sit higher on a yoga block or bolster
✔️ reduce the depth of the position
✔️ support the knees in Supta Baddha Konasana

More support can create:
✔️ less knee strain
✔️ better comfort
✔️ easier hip opening
✔️ more sustainable practice

Props are not “cheating” — they help the body find better alignment and support.

*We are not stretching our hip joints as I accidentally say in the video a few times! We are rotating the leg in the socket and stretching & releasing areas like the inner thighs and around the hip joint to facilitate that movement
