Static Yoga Instructions

Side to Side - The side to side tilt is done by standing with both feet parallel to the line formed by the screws in the middle of the board.

Front to Back - The front to back tilt is done by standing with both feet forming a 90° angle with the line formed by the screws.

On both tilts the goal is to keep the edges of the board off of the floor.

Static Yoga should be done barefoot.

Static Yoga should be done looking directly in front of you, not at your feet.

Begin Static Yoga by performing each tilt for at least 2 minutes. Once you feel comfortable on the board you can begin to add on exercises to challenge yourself.

  1. Stand in each direction for at least 2 minutes.
    GOAL: Keep the sides of the board off the floor the whole time.

  2. As you inhale deeply raise your arms over your head and bring your thumbs together. As you exhale bring your arms back down to your side.
    GOAL: Repeat the arm movement 10 times without losing your balance.

  3. Take a rolled-up pair of socks and toss it from one hand to the other. Follow the socks with your eyes and try not to lose your balance.
    GOAL: Repeat the "toss and catch" 10 times in each hand for each direction of tilt.

  4. Try to bend your knees and see how low you can squat before you lose your balance.
    GOAL: Squat 10 times in each direction without losing your balance.
