Hi all,

Been practicing yoga regularly using Down Dog‘s app. I‘m up to intermediate 1, sometimes 2. I still have such trouble with balance poses though. I‘ve got rather small thin feet with high arches. Not sure if that makes things more difficult. Tree pose I can pretty much do no problem. But dancer‘s pose, utthita hasta, padangusthansa, etc…much more problematic. I’m not super flexible so there’s that. And I try and focus on a single point which helps for a while, but I usually end up getting self conscious and worried I‘ll fall out of the pose and of course that doesn‘t do me any favors. Does anyone have any helpful practical tips to help me improve here? Perhaps easy poses to start with in order to build up to more challenging ones. Thanks all!!
