If balance is tricky for you, it can be corrected with regular practice. In class you practice postures to gently stretch and pull warm muscles to elongate and strengthen supporting structures like your hamstrings

It takes time and dedication to get there, but the goal is freedom to move unrestricted. Every bit of effort you put in, imperfect as it may be, IS progress!
