Love Your Body Now

Over the holiday season, many of my friends and family told me that they would love to buy some of my new yoga leggings, but they want to lose weight first.  After hearing this repeatedly so many times, I had to stop and think about it.

It’s quite ironic actually… Yoga leggings are meant to be worn in during the PROCESS of CARING for our bodies, WHILE we DO yoga, hike, jog, go to the gym, etc. 

I mean, yes, my designs are really fun to show off, but they are also great for motivation to take care of your body.  It’s exciting to slip on a pair of these and feel comfortable with yourself.  You can always buy a smaller pair later and donate your first pair!

For those who like a low waist and a thick band, you can choose this option for your body now.  However, if you prefer a high waist pant, I have an option for you as well.  Just choose from the pull-down menu.
These fabulous leggings were featured on Studio40 Live in Sacramento, on January 4, 2017.

​I recently received an invitation to contribute to an article about Body Positivity along with 30 other yoga influencers concerning these two common questions:
1) How does yoga promote body positivity in your life?

2) How has yoga changed your self-perception?

You can read the whole article here.
The following are a few of the main points found throughout the article:
  • When we practice yoga, we start to understand that our body is a blessing, not an apology.  Yoga teaches us to be kinder to ourselves, accepting both positive and negative characteristics.
  • Yoga helps us to shift our perspective from what our body looks like to what it can now do. Although we come in all shapes and sizes, we share much the same hopes, dreams, fears and insecurities. We can shift our perspective to feel happy and grateful NOW, not when we lose ___ pounds.
  • Through yoga we can feel strong.  How we feel on the inside radiates external beauty. Strength plus flexibility equals power.
  • Yoga helps us to feel grateful for our body as a profound miracle of our functioning: heart beating, breathing moving in and out, along with all of the other simultaneous systems.  It is with these vessels, our bodies, that we are able to practice yoga postures, share our voices, hug our friends, and live our life!
  • Yoga reminds us that we are more than the external body, that our souls are the light that matters the most.
This was my response:

NOW is the time to make a commitment to yourself to practice yoga regularly.

​ Start with 15 minutes a day, and an hour class a couple times a week.
