How To Do BOSU Yoga Poses

Challenge Your Balance and Strengthen Your Core With Yoga Stretches On The BOSU

The BOSU works the core muscles because it requires the ability to remain steady while stretching on an unstable surface. Focus and concentration are more difficult on the BOSU than on a mat alone. If you find the BOSU more than you can handle, do the Yoga poses without it.

MODIFICATIONS: 1) Use a balance pad in place of the BOSU. 2) Do the poses without equipment.
