Third eye chakra - One leg squat & Half headstand

Basic exercises for coordination

Exercises: One leg squat and Half headstand
Training type: Flexibility Training
Element: Air
Chakra: Third Eye Chakra Exercises
Subtle body: Mental Body

Requirements

One leg squat and Half headstand 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. The reverse posture of the half headstand is, among other things, for adapting the brain to a steady blood flow.

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.
