Sometimes it seems like everyone in your yoga or Pilates class is balancing and you're the only one staggering on your standing leg. This can be due to the following four things.
When you stand on one leg, you can hang in the hip of your standing leg. That is a natural reaction of the body, but it can cause you to lose your balance.

Fully extending your standing leg may seem like a good solid foundation, but that's not entirely true. By slightly bending the knee of your standing leg, you keep your muscles working, which makes it easier to maintain your balance.
Yoga and Pilates are not all about breathing for nothing. When something gets difficult, we sometimes forget to breathe. Also while stretching on one leg:use your breathing.
Some days it is easier to keep your balance than others. That depends on several factors:have you slept enough, do you have a cold, are you stressed? Don't worry, another time it will be better.
