Question 1

Do you have to use a balance board?

Answer

No, but it is beneficial as it stimulates your balance (vestibular) system to increase focus and attention.

Question 2

Can I just buy the DVD or book and do the Bal-A-Vis-X exercises with my child?

Answer

You could introduce yourself to the exercises however it is highly recommended you attend a training in person as there are many subtleties and nuances to this program. Attending a training will provide far greater insight and understanding to proper technique and how to modify and correct errors in physical technique to provide maximum benefit of the program.

Question 3

How long is a private individual Bal-A-Vis-X session?

Question 5

How does Bal-A-Vis-X differ from other programs based on, or related to, physical movement?

Answer

“Several things. First, rhythm. And I mean natural rhythm. Not matching a tone or a metronome or a musical beat or any other outside source. The rhythms of Bal-A-Vis-X are the natural outcome of proper physical techniques--which techniques one learns and commits to muscle memory during our trainings. Second, visual tracking. In a typical 30-minute Bal-A-Vis-X session one tracks across three "midlines" (side-side, up-down, near-far) probably 1,000 times. Third, entrainment. The majority of our exercises are done with a partner and/or in concert with others. Synchronicity is always the goal. In a Bal-A-Vis-X setting no one is allowed to be a Lone Ranger, free to follow his own plan. Fourth, responsibility. As soon as you are fully competent with even a few exercises, you are immediately set the task of teaching those exercises to a new or less competent student--always, of course, under the trained eye of your instructor. You, still a student, are responsible for the new student while the instructor is responsible for you both. In time, as your competence grows, and you become less a student and more an instructor yourself, your responsibilities and confidence grow exponentially. Earned self-esteem naturally follows.” ( From Bill Hubert’s FAQ tab, http://www.bal-a-vis-x.com/faq.htm)
