When I consider the deeper meaning of yoga, I realize it's about a lot more than simply performing a variety of postures on a mat.

I was essentially paid to perpetuate the myth that we are all, or should at least try to be, 17 and a size 2 forever.

My daughters, your daughters, our daughters deserve safety, protection, and the freedom to make their own choices about their personal lives and their physical selves.

There is nothing more attractive that a woman who is sure of herself.

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

I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.

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.
