International Yoga Day and Summer Solstice are approaching. The 21st of June is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and in Hindu calendars the second full moon after summer solstice is known as Guru Poornima, a day of respect for all gurus (guides rather than teachers). It’s the day when the first yogi – Lord Shiva – is said to have begun spreading the knowledge of yoga to the rest of humankind, making him the first yoga guru. His first student was Goddess Parvati, his companion who became a guru too, known as uday nath.

✨ How some stress can be beneficial for growth when followed by recovery;
✨ Why resilience is more than just pushing through;
✨ How bespoke staff optimisation programmes can meet diverse needs and cultural contexts.
