Keep your feet wider apart. Your feet don’t need to be right under your hips if you’re struggling with balance. Try stepping up out to the side just a couple of inches, at least until you get the hang of it

I did the same when I was learning to do Bulgarians, if you’re struggling to maintain a center of balance then just plant your feet further apart to brace yourself better. As you get more comfortable, start bringing them closer to center. Don’t let balance stop you from doing an exercise, just figure out what you need to steady yourself!!!

Of course! I’ve also seen people do step-ups close to a pole or something so they can hold on with one hand for balance, idk what your setup looks like but that might be an option too
