How to be confident: Don't compare yourself to others.
"My body isn't the image of perfection. I'm 5'3", and after having three children, the skin around my middle isn't as tight as it once was. But I love my body because it's strong, flexible and balanced. I've been a yoga teacher for years, and my practice has helped me direct my thoughts to loving, appreciating, and nurturing my body, as opposed to obsessing over my looks. At the end of class, I have my students thank their bodies for what they just did." Another reason to say om? Yoga can help save your life.
