Double your balance in 24 hours (yoga secrets)

Dear Yoga Student,

I’m going to teach you a dirty little inside secret
that most yoga teachers will never tell you…

… your balance is directly related to how flexible your
feet, ankles, and calves are!

I’ve spent thousands of hours in class watching people
trying to stand on one foot (and I’ve spent 3 times that
much practicing myself) so I can tell you with absolute
certainty that people with flexible feet can balance as solid
as trees!

Here’s the challenge: the shoes you wear squish your feet
into tight little bundles of tissues and your poor little toes
never get to be free!

I’ve lived on an island and worn flip flops for two
years, but you’re probably not so lucky. So here’s
what you can do.

Check out chapter 7 on “Wrists, Twists, & Ankles” in the
YOGABODY Handbook, and try to do that sequence at least
2x per week.

And here’s the dirty little secret I promised:

Go to a shop where they sell nail polish and get some of
those foam things that ladies stick between their toes when
they’re getting a pedicure.

Put those on before bed and wear them as long as possible.
Sometime, you’ll wake up after 2 hours with a deadly cramp,
but soon enough, you’ll get through the entire night with them
on…

… and when you wake up, your balance will be double what it
was the day before. I’m not exaggerating, and that’s why I
wear those stupid pink foamy things every night (don’t tell
anyone, hey?).

All for today…

Stay bendy,

    LOL! Sound stupid but it works, it really did improved my balance in just one night of sleep. But I got cramps eventually, anyway I got used to it now. =)

    I have a pair of that pink foamy thing, and its really funny but amazing to found out that it would help to improve my balance. I’ll put it tonight, I’m glad of your tips.

    That’s a real secret. I wonder if all yoga teachers know that? I will have to try to myself!
