Before testing balance, feel whether each side can calmly accept your weight with support.
Every step asks one side to receive pressure while the other side prepares to move. Support, slower transitions, and clear ground contact help you explore each side without turning balance into a performance.
Begin with a simple reference. Notice sensation, ease, range, and control before trying to correct anything. A clear baseline gives you something honest to compare later.
