Traditional yoga improves flexibility and awareness, but many people still struggle with stability during everyday movement. I’ve coached clients in this age group for years, and the fastest improvements in balance always come from simple, controlled exercises that […]
Squats are one of the most useful movements you can train, and there’s a reason they’ve stuck around forever.
