Of all the postures, balancing - whether on your feet hands or bottom - requires the right frame of mind and a sensitive approach to your practice. We begin sitting with a few rounds of alternate nostril breathing to help cultivate the right frame of mind. We then move into balances from an all fours position, then from Downward facing dog and up to standing. Finding your foundation with some foot and toe articulation, Andrew calmly leads you into a series of standing balances until you are guided back down to the mat. There's also the option of an arm balance (Crow posture) and the practice concludes by balancing on your sitting bones with variations upon the theme of Boat posture (Navasana).
