I used to be in my 20s, be single, and work way less. This was conducive to way more hours on the mat and a super fit physique. I'm now 31, engaged, and travel every single week, which puts a major damper on any sort of routine.

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.

No cheating, clean up your self-induced fear act, and replace it with what you love.

There's room enough for everyone to thrive.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't currently rocking someone else's world.

Happiness is a state a mind, not a dress size.

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!
