Lighting Up Times Square
A Celebration of Empowered Women
Collective Resiliency is more than a movement – it’s a mission to uplift women through the power of wellness, community, and self-care.
This week, we took that mission to new heights by lighting up Times Square with a message of empowerment and resilience, showcasing what’s possible when women come together to support and inspire one another.

Building Resilience Through Discipline with Ola Avedissian
How did your personal experiences shape your commitment to well-being?
In my journey toward well-being, I’ve discovered that discipline is the bedrock upon which true commitment stands. Discipline has helped me to prioritize my health and happiness. Also surrounding myself with individuals who uplift, inspire, and challenge me has been transformative. By choosing to spend time with those who reflect the values I hold dear, I have created a supportive environment that fosters continuous self-improvement and genuine well-being.

Hi Ola, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

Meet Ola Avedissian of Venice
Hi Ola, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I discovered yoga in my late 20s, almost by accident. I had originally set out to try a Pilates class but was drawn instead to a hot yoga studio. That first class was 90 minutes of pure challenge—grueling, intense, and taught entirely in Spanish. Even though I considered myself fit, I was sprawled out on the floor by the end, laughing at how much I struggled. But something about it clicked.
