Yoga has given me more compassion for my imperfections.

I am under no illusion that yoga is the solution to all issues! That's why I am a very open-minded yogi.

Staying present in a high-pressure situation where you have so much coming at you is gold.

Yoga will uplift you if you are feeling sluggish or down, relax you if you feel high-strung, and soften your edges if you are feeling angry.

Yoga can benefit you no matter what mood you find yourself in.

Having the body you want begins with loving the body you have.

Our mental state fuels our emotions, and our bodies reflect those emotions.

Speaking positively about our bodies is as essential as the physical activity we engage in.

I wish I had a great singing voice.

To be honest, I have never had a 9-5 job where I worked for someone else.

Consider yourself your own kid. Take care of yourself the way you would your own child. You wouldn't wait until your child was crying to take care of him/her.

Even your favorite celebrities go through tough periods and have heartbreak. They must empower themselves with healthy choices, as do you!

I love to take a walk to get myself present and to wind my mind down.

You can totally have a great little yoga routine in 20 minutes: 10 sun salutations and five or six standing poses and five minutes of stretching.

In yoga, the key to staying youthful is a flexible spine.

What I do is I'm trying to bridge the gap between yoga and fitness.

I am not a five-year-plan type. I tend to put one foot in front of the other and to allow things to unfold.

Cardio activity burns fat, and when you burn fat while building muscle, you change the ratio of stored fat to lean muscle mass, and your arms appear to be more defined.

I have found that most meal plans will work, simply because it causes us to become more aware as we eat.

I love the plie squat. I love that because I can feel my glutes and inner thighs, and it makes me feel grounded.

You do not get into better shape being hard on yourself.

I liked school. I was creative and artistic and fit into most groups.

Iyengar yoga, hatha yoga, vinyasa flow - I love them all! My go-to is vinyasa, but I really love a mix of the purist forms and the fun stuff.

I think the combo of spin and yoga is a yin and yang thing. It's very important to have balance. I like to bring energy to yoga, and spinning gets you very connected to your core.
