Own your beauty whatever shape or form it comes in.

I encourage myself - and everyone - to focus on how you feel and take care of yourself as opposed to your waistline.

I hope to encourage people to take flight on their mats, in their lives, and in their hearts.

There's room enough for everyone to thrive.

There is a “yoga body” aesthetic, which is long and sinewy. I am curvy. I get praised on a regular basis, with people telling me, “Wow, you're so brave,” simply for showing my curvy body. Being brave is going to war; being curvy is not brave. We need to be careful with how we use our words.

We live in fear when we've forgotten how to act from a place of love. Remember that, and set intention to act from a place of no comparison, jealousy, or fear. Police yourself on this!

Yoga has expanded beyond asana for me. It's how I live my life and currently I'm throwing myself into a meditation practice.
