Review of Standing Balance: The Education of a Wobble

Overview
Tree, Eagle, Warrior III—balances reveal what your feet, hips and attention are actually doing. They are less about stillness, more about tiny, constant adjustments.

Best for
- Desk feet, runners, anyone whose ankles feel guessy.

Benefits
- Strengthens intrinsic foot muscles;
- Trains hip stability;
- Sharpens focus via immediate feedback.

Cautions
- Hardwood machismo is unhelpful. Use a wall, reduce range, explore the wobble.

Try this mini‑practice
- Tree: 3 × 30–45s per side.
- Warrior III prep: Hands on hips, tiny hinge, back leg long, 3 × 20–30s.
- Finish with Chair for quads and feet, 3 × 5 steady breaths.

Final word
Balance improves when you befriend the wobble. Aim for responsive, not rigid.
