Balance Ball Yoga - Basic Course : journey to discover your core and Body Alignment

Balance Ball Yoga - Basic Course
Journey to discover your core and body alignment

This course will develop an understanding of your core, body alignment, body movements and spine coordination. As you learn to synchronize the centre of the Balance Ball with your body, you will find your point of balance by:

• Re-educating the body with movements that promote correct body alignment
• Stretching the body for a neutral and effective position of the spine
• Coordinating the skeletal system to perform yoga positions on the balance ball

This concept of Balance Ball Yoga supports the notion that the body can heal itself through re-education methods. Body alignment exercises encourage proprioception, which is the kinaesthetic sense within the body that recognises changes in your posture and movement.

After discovering the location of your Body Core and learning how your body alignment balances when using your spine, you learn dynamic movements to improve spine coordination. Basic anatomy is also taught for a fuller understanding of correct posture and movement. For example, students learn the direction of muscle fibres and the bio-mechanics of the joints.

Balance Ball Yoga - Basic Course - Teaching Method

During each class your instructor closely observes your approach to the exercises and assesses your movement. The Balance Ball Yoga exercises are then tailored to suit your individual requirements. All the Balance Ball Yoga exercises have been developed to improve your posture and movement. Stretches (individual and with partner) are also used to maximize the benefits of the exercises. These stretches (Thai Healing Art School style) are designed to work in accordance with your individual ROM (Range Of Motion) and level of flexibility.

Our Philosophy of Instruction for Balance Ball Yoga Classes

We accept students from all over the world regardless of gender, age and physical fitness. Everyone can succeed and build self-confidence, as progress is an individual journey rather than a competition. Each student works individually with a Balance Ball to improve personal coordination, strength and concentration. No one is forced beyond his/her ability or comfort level. You will never be left alone without assistance from the instructor.
