キノ・マクレガ―のインスタグラム(kinoyoga) - 5月12日 20時44分

I almost didn't post this because I thought my butt looked huge and the folds on my midsection looked fat. It's ridiculous. My butt is not huge, nor am I fat. And if my butt was huge and I was bigger, so what? What matters to me is how I feel in my body and in this pic, on this day, I felt beautiful, peaceful, comfortable in my own skin. And that's all that should matter. Eating healthfully is one thing, obsessing about what size your body or shape is, well, that's something else. I remember looking at pictures of girls in magazines when I was a teenager and realizing that I would never be shaped like them. No matter how hard I worked out, no matter if I dieted or did magic tricks, I just wouldn't ever be shaped like them. It has taken me nearly my whole life to be ok with that. It was like some dark and twisted place inside of myself thought only the tall and beautiful were worthy of love and success. And I was short and frumpy, so me and my thick thighs weren't getting any dates, nor did we have have any chance of living our dreams. How sad is that? I had to start practicing yoga to finally see that it's not size or shape that matters. One of the first things I loved about yoga was that my body was actually capable of something. With practice I could learn how to do backbends, twists and maybe even handstands! While this lifted my self-worth out of the gutter, the danger in the yoga world is trading the attachment to the unattainable standard of beauty with the unattainable standard of asana. Chasing beauty externally and judging yourself for not fitting the mold is harsh. But so is chasing the perfect asana and judging yourself harshly when you're not pressing up into handstand and everyone else is. It's the chasing that has to stop. When you realize it's not about pose, it's not about the handstand press, it's not about fitting into a size 0, it's not about being 6 feet tall, it's about being yourself and letting your practice be an honest window into your soul. So many people don't practice yoga because they think they're the wrong size or shape, the wrong age or gender. But really, truly, the perfect body for yoga (and life) is the one you have.
