Balance awareness is a movement technique that combines two crucial aspects for everyday life: balance and awareness. 

Balance - the ability to respond and keep the body upright in unexpected situations where the body is pushed out of alignment (for example, when bumping into something or when standing on one leg). 

Awareness - this speaks to conscious movement. Awareness leads to new neural connections and helps preserve brain plasticity. 

The emphasis on these two practices is important for everyone and becomes especially significant as one ages. The technique is also very suitable for people that are not able to get down to the floor and get up by themselves. 

​

The exercise is performed alternatively in seated and standing positions. These are the two stances that people are most commonly found in throughout the day, and thus muscles relating to these poses are in constant use.
