Drishti: The Gaze That Holds Your Balance
Where your eyes go, your balance follows. Fixing the gaze on one still point gives the brain a steady reference — which is why balance gets harder the moment you look around, or close your eyes.
This tip is scheduled for Saturday 5 December 2026 — you’re early. It’s all here already; enjoy.
How to do it
- Choose a point at eye level that doesn't move — a mark on the wall.
- Stand in Tadasana and look at it softly, without staring.
- Shift onto one leg and come into Tree.
- Keep the gaze steady for 5 breaths.
- Now let the gaze wander, and notice how your balance changes.
- Return to the point, then switch sides.
