As the world changes around us at a greater speed than ever before, with variables that are completely and utterly new, building, and truly understanding what resilience is, is more important than ever.
The practices of yoga are vast, deep, and ancient, and the development of resilience is a natural cohort.
Yoga Service Council’s Yoga and Resilience Series brings together powerful resources from national and international experts on building strength in the community and provide purposeful guidance to overcome adversity.

“I think in yoga we practice falling off-balance, falling down, falling out of a pose, and the practice of resilience is about being kind and encouraging to ourselves. And when things go wrong, or when we fail, or when we fall–to practice getting back up again. I think that is what resilience is to me, and I think we practice it a lot on the mat and hopefully that prepares us for the falls and failings that we have in real life.” -Lynne Boucher, YSC Board Chair
