Safety checklist

Clear loose rugs, cords, and clutter from the practice lane.

Keep a wall, chair, or counter nearby if balance is uncertain.

Use smaller steps than you think you need.

Stop if you feel dizzy, sharp pain, chest pain, or unusual shortness of breath.

Ask a clinician before starting if you recently fell or have major balance changes.

Daily tracker

Goal: 5 to 10 quiet minutes. Stop before fatigue changes your posture or balance.

Spine long, shoulders soft, knees unlocked.

Shift first
