Being out of balance is a huge source of stress and tends to create problems. Finding your balance in a yoga pose lets you practice rebalancing the rest of your life. Balancing postures develop self-sufficiency and give you confidence. Arm balances, where your arms support the weight of your body, develop strength. As your upper body grows stronger, neck and shoulder tension tends to get dissipated. Balance poses increase stamina and unite the mind and body, which are encouraged to work together to hold you in place.
