I am passionate about any effort to achieve social justice and equality, particularly for women.
I'm flattered by the offers I receive, but there's no real strategy to the way I choose what to do these days. If I'm in a good mood and have the time, I'm more likely to consider it. Often the photographer and team are important factors, too.
It is possible to experience an awakening in this life through realising just how precious each moment, each mental process, and each breath truly is.
People always think that if you eat anything as a model, it's amazing. I used to tease them and say, you know I'm going to throw up afterwards.
Yoga gave me the ability to calm down.
Love is connection with others. Union with another human being or living thing. That's also Yoga.
Yoga is an integral part of my daily routine. That definitely helps me approach all aspects of my life from a place of mindfulness and clarity, through the meditation that usually accompanies this practice.
I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within.
I like the big questions.
or those who have one, please use your voice. So many of us don't have that ability.
Participating in a sisterhood with other women is hugely important in my life and a source of joy.
It is better to not even try it than to endure the ramifications of either quitting smoking or dying.
Any spirituality can be enhanced with the practice or study of yoga.
If you truly want to make an impact on the world, you can and you will.
