How a consistent yoga practice builds internal resilience and "sovereignty" in an unpredictable world. When confronted with anxiety, learn how yoga provides the tools to feel more resourced, capable, and ready for life’s challenges.

While many think of the yogi as someone who sits cross-legged, peaceful and calm, watching the world go by, there is plenty of room for the driven or “type A” personality in yoga. In fact Yoga philosophy tells us that taking skillful action rather than sitting passively by is desirable in most situations. One teacher of mine describes it as a mandate to “act according to the need of the hour.” Then the big trick is to be unattached to the outcome of your actions. Accept whatever happens.
