Through the combination of physical movement and philosophical beliefs, yoga adherents can develop character traits often associated with resilience, including self-awareness, emotional stability, and self-discipline. Many yoga poses are designed to promote feelings of empowerment and confidence. In yoga, the mentally destabilizing nature of not remaining in the present moment can be felt physically. For example, to achieve balance in the Warrior II pose, a yogi must keep his or her head and shoulders centered. Metaphorically, leaning back or forward represents thinking too much about the past or the future. With practice, this movement can train practitioners to remain mentally centered and present in their everyday lives.
