2. Train the body's balance. The yoga ball is an "unstable" sports equipment. When you use the yoga ball to leave the ground, you must try to keep your balance, prevent the ball from rolling, and prevent yourself from falling off the ball. This requires comprehensive strength control of the legs, waist, and abdomen, which can well maintain the body's coordination and muscle strength.

3. Massage effect. The yoga ball movements will try to make the body make full contact with the ball surface, and the yoga ball is made of soft PVC material. When the human body comes into contact with it, the yoga ball will massage the body evenly and gently, which is beneficial to promoting blood circulation.

These small movements can promote blood circulation, strengthen the waist, back and abdomen, make you sit up straight and open your shoulders involuntarily, and correct your long-standing incorrect sitting posture.

2. Yoga balls come in various sizes. Beginners can start with small balls, which are easier to control. Generally speaking, large balls are easier to keep balanced, while small balls are lighter but more difficult to balance.

3. When playing with a yoga ball at home, you can lay a yoga mat or towel on the ground to keep it clean and prevent slipping.

4. Although yoga ball exercises are not prone to injury, you still need to pay attention to maintaining balance, especially when doing more difficult movements such as the wheel pose. Be sure to use your hands to support yourself when returning to the original position.

The movements of the yoga ball are choreographed to target the abdomen, back, waist and other major parts.
