“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” ― Maya Angelou  Resilience is about our ability to successfully adapt to stress and adversity. Of course we all face challenges in our life. Some we may handle with grace, and other times... not as much.
It is a life skill that each new curve ball presents us with an opportunity to practice. Building resilience on our mat is a safe place to flex the resilience muscle so it’s strong enough to get us through the next life upheaval. Taking care of our bodies is a legitimate practice for mental health and building resilience. This is because stress is just as much physical as it is emotional. Implementing positive lifestyle factors like proper nutrition, ample sleep, hydration, and regular exercise can strengthen your body to adapt to stress and reduce the toll of emotions like anxiety or depression. Yoga is a wonderful physical practice that can help us connect with our physical bodies through asanas (poses), flows and challenging sequences. The poses and sequences taught in yoga can have innumerable benefits, from back pain relief to anti-aging effects. The combination of physical postures, breath control, and concentration helps to build your resilience. Pushing ourselves during yoga practice to hold a pose when it seems we have reached our limit helps develop emotional resilience over time, and we become more confident and bold in our decisions. Yoga is the perfect tool to teach us how our minds respond in the face of adversity. It’s easy to be happy when we enjoy a nice and easy yoga practice, but what happens when we face a pose we struggle with or lose balance and stumble on our mat? Do you laugh it off or do you get frustrated? Your response can teach you a lot about how you would respond to other similar (stressful) events and it may just give insight into whether or not you experience the ups and downs in life as more stressful. That’s useful information! By becoming more self-aware, we learn to observe without judgement, to change our perspective rather than trying to change the situation, and to be more introspective, all of which help develop resilience over time.
