Did you know that I found yoga at the bottom of a McDonald's bag? 🍟 I was 12 years old when my pediatrician told me I needed to lose weight. With that, I lost a lot of self esteem. I would say terrible things to myself and grew even more disordered with my eating. It seemed like every adult would tell me that it was baby weight, or I was large framed, or (one of my favorites) I was -solid-. My mom, being as supportive as she could, took me to McDonald's one day and recommended that I try their then new salads. With the salad came a workout DVD. Mine, of course, happened to be yoga. The first posture that was taught in the DVD was mountain pose. I was hooked. I started to learn that it wasn't about how my body LOOKED, but instead what it could do and how it FELT. That new idea took me off of the scale and onto my mat - well, the ground or a towel for the first couple of years... Fast forward 15 years and a lot of mountain poses later. People ask me now how yoga can be done. All I can...
