Balance
Balance is the ongoing, adaptive relationship between your mass and gravity that allows you to remain upright without excess effort or collapse. It is also the capacity to maintain coordinated, upright movement by continuously adjusting to gravitational forces and changes in position.
Exploration
Stand on one leg. Tilt your head forward. Now tilt your head backward. What happens?
Notice how small changes in head position affect your whole-body coordination. Where does effort increase? Where do you lose clarity or control? Can you stay upright without gripping?
