I believe in the need for diversity in the yoga world for the simple reason that we need to see someone who looks like us doing yoga to believe that we can do it too. When I first started all the high level teachers featured in videos and workshops were tall guys with long limbs and big muscles. When I saw them lift up it didn’t make me believe that I could do it too. There was no one who looked like me who could do any of the lift ups or was a respected teacher. In fact I had people tell me my thighs were too big and my arms too small to ever have hope at getting into some of poses. I’m so glad I decided to choose the small voice of faith over the very loud voice of doubt.

This is how I see it. Until you see someone you can identify with practicing yoga you won’t feel like it’s for you. And until you see someone with your size, shape, skin color, hair color, eye color, that the world elevates, respects, values, it is so hard to think that the world will lift you up, respect you or value you too.

You don’t need the world to love you to be worthy. But you also don’t need the world to stuff images of the same uniform vision of what beauty, strength or power is down your throat. It shouldn’t be that hard to validate different types of bodies as equally worthy of love, but for some reason it is.

I can’t tell you how many women have told me at some point that they were inspired by my strength BC I wasn’t a tall skinny person. Well, let me offer my muscular thighs and petite height as an inspiration for all the other short thick bodies out there and let me tell you this. There is nothing wrong with you. You’re beautiful. You can lift up if you want to, but you don’t need to do it to prove your worthiness. The perfect body for the practice is the one have. Learn to love it and celebrate it with every breath and you find so much strength in yourself.
