This class explores balance, on the hands, feet, knees and hips, and in the mind. Anastasia's guidance encourages you to let go of expectations and embrace falling, if it happens, since it's an important life lesson. She also works into the hips, back and hip flexors, to round out a nicely paced, fun class.

Your tip about accepting the micromovements in the body, even welcoming them, is very helpful to me. I was teetering around as usual, tensing up to keep from falling, and suddenly I relaxed and let myself sway a little and everything popped into focus. I feel like I had a real breakthrough with balance, which has always been a problem for me and does not get easier with age. I encourage everyone to give this class a try. :)

I am so happy to hear this Judith! Yes, isn't funny how we have this expectation of ourselves that we should be fully still in balance poses?

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I have practiced yoga for a while and found this class introduced me to new feelings of balance and alignment.

I really enjoyed this class, including a much more graceful side crow!
