I've learned to surround myself with women who lift me up and leave me feeling nurtured rather than drained.

My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.

I've found that balance is key. I'm no longer an extremist in any one direction.

I had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling. My diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin.

Many women who have anorexia put their hearts in a compromised situation.

I grew up on antibiotics. Every ailment - sore throats, earaches, flus - warranted a trip to the doctor and in most cases some kind of prescription.

But I would assert that despite the wide variety of yoga options and individual preferences, there is one universal element: the union of consciousness and movement, breath and awareness.
