As we age balance is a key physical component that we need to practice. I often tell my students to incorporate yoga into their daily life. Tree Pose (Vrksasana) is a fantastic balancing posture that you can incorporate into your life by standing on one foot while you brush your teeth. My dentist recommends brushing teeth for 60 seconds, think about it...You can simply stand on one foot for 30 seconds and then switch legs. Or try balancing in tree pose while you wash the dishes or load the dishwasher.
Give it a try tonight and see if you can bring your awareness to the pose while brushing your teeth, it's a wonderful challenge to try!
