Equanimity training

Think of a yoga pose as balance within flux.

Whether it be asanas (poses), pranayama (breath work), or meditation, in yoga we practice this relative steadiness no matter what’s going on in our lives and the world.

This trains an equanimity* or equipoise** for even difficult times that we have practiced.

Particularly helpful when things are potentially volatile, don’t you think!?

*Equanimity–stability, calm, composure especially in difficult times or situations

**Equipoise–a balanced state of mind; a state of equilibrium; counterbalance. Often associated with a steadiness in the midst of change.
