Front and back balance · illustrated guide
Follow the steps
Step onto two tracks
Take a modest step forward. Keep some side-to-side space between the feet. Let the rear toes angle slightly outward from the direction of the front foot.
Bend the front knee
Shift a little toward your front foot. Let its knee follow the direction of its toes. Keep the rear leg long and the rear heel on the floor.
Return and switch
Shift back to center and bring your feet together. Repeat on the other side at the same comfortable depth.
Practice on a clear, non-slip surface. Start with shallow stances, move slowly, and stop if you feel pain.
