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.

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.

There comes a moment as a parent when you realize you will no longer be the center of your child's universe.

I was in a sushi bar and it dawned on me - how could I discriminate between a cow and a fish?

Anorexia was there for me before I got into modeling, but because of the arena and the demands, the disease really got out of control for me. It's like being an alcoholic and going and being a bartender.

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'm proud that today, at 43 years old, I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.
