“ My practice has evolved in that I don’t get debilitating anxiety and walk away from the building I was about to step into. I was so self conscious of my body and self when I started out. It took tremendous courage to show up. I used to verbally beat myself up about not being able to get inside the door to class or do all of the postures. I was self conscious about my weight, sweating, how I looked and the list goes on and on. It’s fucked up how women are taught to see themselves in American culture. Societal expectations place lot of pressure on people to be something they’re not or could never physically be.”
