The ankle has the unique role in the body of balancing the much larger surface of our body on a narrow base, while maintaining stability, and giving us enough scope for mobility. Asanas provide ample opportunities for using the ankle in a variety of positions, thereby building strength and resilience.
Note:
Those who have limitation in balance for any reason are advised to hold on to a stable support (like a wall) in the standing balancing positions.
