So acknowledge here to yourself, ‘I am unique, and while there may be someone who is better than me at this or that, it doesn’t matter because they’re not me. So no matter what, they’ll never do it like me because that’s impossible.’ So embrace the quirks, embrace your individuality, embrace where you are in life. No one else is like you, and that is special, and that is unique.

It's important to remember that there are many different types of people, styles of teaching and that we won't agree with all of them.

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

There is always room for change, but you have to be open to that change.

I deal with negative, nasty comments on a regular basis. It's difficult to digest because I've always been sensitive and it's a slap in the face to have someone respond cruely when you're trying to lift people up. It's been a huge lesson for me.

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

Take your time. There's no rush to be good or renowned.
