Body image has a lot to do with where you're coming from personally.

Coming up with a simple statement like 'I choose health' is a good beginning.

I went to a school for experiential learning all around the city of Los Angeles. We went on at least 2 field trips a week, and I went there for 7 years, so I have seen a lot of this city.

Arm balances, in general, are excellent for strength-building.

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.

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

Sometimes moving your body can bring you into a better place mentally and emotionally.

The forward bend really relaxes the nervous system and brings blood flow back to the brain.

Twists are wonderful for whittling your waist, stretching your back, and detoxifying the body.

If you're feeling sluggish, do a back bend.

My father was really into yoga, and back then, it seemed like we were really the only ones who knew about yoga. It amazes me now... just what a movement yoga has become and what an industry it's become.

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