Requirements

Balance horizontal and Balance vertical are two coordination exercises for the whole body. They are practices for training balance, stability, and coordination. They are advanced exercises, but with a little practice, they are not difficult to do.

Outcome physical

With these two activities, you are training your sense of balance and coordination. By standing on one leg for a longer period of time, the body trains how to adapt to challenging everyday life movements where you need coordination and stability.

Outcome spiritual

These two exercises clear up your mental body on a spiritual level by focusing on posture, coordination, and balance. The mental body is part of your aura, where you generate your thoughts. If you focus on posture, alignment, and keeping your balance, your mind focuses on the task and not on the mind’s usual chatter. They are also part of the number one third eye chakra exercises.
