Quote:

I think that acceptance of myself has to come not only with practicing yoga but with physical strength that I can now perceive and experience in my own body. I definitely feel it comes, as we get older. I really strongly feel that if you start to place yourself in yoga classes and spend the time to seek out teachers who really connect to your heart, you have no choice but to start accepting yourself more.
