"I chose to do yoga postures in my shoot because yoga is what has brought me to love my body. I give thanks to my body every day by showing up to my mat and exercising what my body is capable of doing. Balancing upside down, supporting my entire body, twisting in such ways I never dreamed imaginable. Yoga is also what brought me to change my body image and to walk away from my eating disorder. To acknowledge it, to feel it, and then to let it go. I'm smiling in most of my shots because I really am happy when I practice yoga. Any posture, even the ones that I fall out of. Because yoga is a practice, not a sport. It's the union of the mind, body, and soul. I have never shot myself nude and have never felt so confident in my body. I hope my pictures express my confidence in my skin and the empowerment I felt by sharing it."
