Growing up surrounded with images of tall, blonde, thin, white models on magazines, runways and billboards sent a clear message— my body was not just allowed into that elite club of beauty guarded by mainstream society.

Anytime there is popularization of a singular image of an ideal then society perpetuates a homogeneity that is itself both exclusionary and discriminatory. Holding only one image of beauty, success or happiness up for the world to see and aspire to is by default a rejection of other-ness. Once these ideas become so entrenched that small children spit them out casually while riding their bikes, the thoughts have solidified into systemic and deeply entrenched forms within the collective psyche. So when I read messages from people all over the world who reject their bodies because of their size, shape, or color, it brings up my own wounds. I want to reach through the internet and hug them. I want to promise that yoga will heal their hearts so that when look in the mirror they will one day love the image that is reflected back. I cannot bring myself to promise that yoga is good for weight loss, growing taller, getting thinner thighs, or changing any other of the body’s natural features. I just can’t do it. And yet, the reality is that long term yoga practice does in fact bring about some physical changes. It’s part of the transformation that happens when you devote your life to sincere spiritual practice. Big things, like your repetitive subconscious thoughts and your daily habit patterns, change. And the body usually responds by changing as well.
