Flying, yoga, and skiiing

I am a low hours private pilot, but I have done some fun things in those 100+ hours. I have flew a BT-13, flew in the company really good pilots, and done formation flying. How does this relate to skiing or yoga? Well there is a thing called spin training, where a pilot goes to learn how to hand an aircraft in unusual attitudes (spinning towards the ground, for instance), in yoga you are taught to spin to center your Chakras. Again the connection is what?

Well I have balance issues from a variety of causes and while I was standing around one day, I connected all the above together. In spin training: getting the inner ear to behave when tumbling around in the sky is huge towards understanding how to fix the spin and that takes actual spins to get the inner ear to be conditioned to the physical spinning. In skiing: dynamic balance is key, again inner ear conditioning. In yoga: spinning to 'center' the Chakras is conditioning the body to expect and accept changes in stance and balance.

So I started spinning around in a circle while at home, just walking around, 'oh there is enough room here' SPIN! as I have done this over the past month or so several things have happened. My balance is much better, my skiing is much better, and I feel better generally, partially because my inner ear is now better conditioned to changes in attitude.

Will this work for you? Probably, try it and let me know. Just spin until you are just slightly dizzy (I could only do a couple turns around at first, so keep at it), then increase the number of spins and see what happens.
