Stress is an inevitable aspect of human life that can help us build new strengths or cause great suffering. While we cannot avoid difficult events, we can learn to respond skillfully to life’s challenges and maintain our equilibrium.
In this second of two parts, we will focus on how we can cultivate inner steadiness and resilience through regular practice, and how we can use the teachings of Yoga to break old patterns and cultivate the mindfulness to cope with stressful situations as they arise. Ultimately, we can learn to stay centered in the deep, healing peace that resides within us and remain unshaken by the ever-changing world we live in.
