A MORE ADVANCED PRACTICE

After skillful practice of the above poses and exercises, balance further develops by adding the challenge of an unstable surface. Try balancing on wet sand, which slowly sinks and molds around your bare foot. A Bosu ball is also a great tool available at many gyms and sporting goods stores. The ultimate challenge is to practice CobraBalance on a slack line. Similar to a tight rope, the slack line is a long piece of tubular webbing rigged between two stable objects, usually two trees.
