Bosu Balance Trainer for Basic Yoga Poses

Basic yoga poses done on your Bosu Balance Trainer truly are movements of the soul. I couldn’t believe how much the Bosu ball changed my experience when I did basic yoga poses on it!

While doing Yoga itself is a wonderful balance exercise, adding the element of balance on the Bosu ball while doing the basic yoga poses was quite a challenge. The many small muscles of your core that are engaged while balancing will really up your game.

I offer my personal yoga experience on the Bosu Balance Trainer, knowing that the poses were twice as difficult, my form was twice as bad, but the experience was twice as wonderful! So join me and let’s journey forward as we uncover more body window secrets regarding our body-mind balance and how it affects our lives.

Let your mind go, and feel the movements as you connect with your body’s inner wisdom to help you balance your life and heal your body-mind-soul! Access those hidden sensations tucked away inside you, feel your body’s special perceptions and find your Inner Power at the very core of your being.

You may wish to first read my Bosu Balance Trainer and Body Balance articles to understand in more detail how improving your physical balance can improve your total body-mind balance!

In addition to being great balance training exercises, all the basic yoga poses I do on the Bosu Ball are great strengthening exercises and great flexibility exercises. So your Bosu Home Balance Trainer is a great little trainer for overall fitness that can really help you start your body-mind-soul process.

Basic Yoga Poses

'Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather.' ~ Martha Graham

What would basic yoga poses be without the Yoga Upward Dog and Downward Dog? Well, here they are:

Learning the Bow Pose on the Bosu Balance Trainer will really strengthen your core, both front and back. If you have lower back pain, go easy on this one to see how you do. If your back is great, this basic yoga pose will keep it strong.

The Plank Pose feels so much less stable on the Bosu Ball. It is a huge strength move for your chest and biceps. The Table Pose, also a great strength and balance exercise, will strengthen your jiggly triceps and really stretch out your biceps. Believe it or not, these are not the most intense basic yoga poses for arm strength on the Bosu ball. There are even better ones in my Bosu Balance Trainer for Overall Fitness Strength Training. So start working on these to tone your arms and start your balance training.

More of a pure balance training pose is the Yoga Half Moon Pose, however, beware, that done on the Bosu Ball brings a totally different perception. You are sort of using it as a yoga block, however a very unstable one! You can make this exercise even more difficult if you turn you head up.

The Side Plank Pose requires a lot more strength than when done on the mat alone. Go deep to find your center for this one. Find that inner Power that I know you have. Turn your head to make it even harder.

Remember that balance training is about using your right brain. It is the right brain that processes the special perceptions and body awareness required to balance. So in the next balance exercise ask your feeling brain to help you as you focus on your body-mind balance and let go of your left brain.

This is why when you do body-mind balance training, that you feel so good afterward. You are giving your left, overactive brain a real rest as you tap into your soul. As I always like to say "There is real freedom in movement." Because of this freedom, there is also healing in movement.

Try the Yoga Fierce Pose and the Revolved Fierce Pose. These are fun, and will greatly strengthen you jiggly thighs. Close your eyes to make it harder. I can’t do it, so there’s no photo. But I am working on it. My eyes may look closed, but they are open slightly.

Next, let’s do the Yoga Standing Forward Bend, one of my absolute favorite basic yoga poses for grounding and strength. Although you won’t feel very grounded doing it on the Bosu ball. You’ll feel quite wobbly, but it is very doable. I promise!

And finally, let’s end it for now with the Yoga Tree Pose. This basic yoga pose is really hard on the Bosu Ball, and as you can see, I could barely do it.

If you are able to do a better Tree Pose on your Bosu Balance Trainer and go deeper in your balance training, please send me a picture through the form below and share your prowess with everyone! It is really hard! We’d love to be inspired and you can create your own web page to show your friends. Scroll down to just do it.

Namaste! May you find your Power in the Core of Your Being as you do your balance training on your Bosu Home Balance Trainer. And may you find health and healing as you do movements for your soul. Basic yoga poses will always heal your body-mind-soul!
