The Real Reasons Yoga Improves Your Balance (Not What You Think) | Ep. 35

Can yoga really improve balance and help prevent falls as you age? In this episode, Mikah Horn explains why the answer is yes and why yoga may be one of the most effective ways to support steadiness, confidence, and healthy aging.

This conversation brings together the full picture of balance training. You will hear how yoga supports the body systems behind balance, including strength, mobility, proprioception, and present-moment awareness.
