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

Don't look for shortcuts, because they'll only hurt you in the long run.

I don't define myself by my body's ability to execute gorgeous asana anymore. I'm all about taking care of my temple and understanding that its requirements change with age and time.

Being in the health industry can do a major number on your head when it comes to body image.

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

My motto in life is 'aim true'. It came from my love of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. She inspired me to sport a gold arrow around my neck because it reminded me of her strength and that I can always hit my mark when I set intention, follow what makes my heart beat, and aim true. The arrow was a reminder that I can cut through any obstacles, that I have power, beauty, and the ability to choose love over fear every moment of my life.

I do feel pressure to look a certain way but am fighting that and focusing on being comfortable in my own skin exactly as it is.
