I decided I would run 1,000 miles in 2013.

How An Injury To My Body Helped Me Heal My Mind

It was a respectable number, but one that would ultimately be more a test of my determination than my ability. I'd been getting more serious about running over the preceding few months, and I knew I could physically handle it as long as I was committed. In order to hold myself accountable, I started writing my miles down on a calendar. Similar to a food journal, I could see how many miles I'd run and on how many days each week, and I kept a running total at the top of each month to track my progress. At first, it was empowering to see my calendar littered with tallies. So I ran harder. Then one day, about two months ago, something happened. Within two days, I was limiting my movement to accomplish only the bare necessities. I was finally diagnosed with Piriformis syndrome, a condition in which the piriformis muscle (a tiny but vital muscle located deep in buttock near the hip joint) irritates the sciatic nerve.

Thick Thighs, Wide Hips & Large Breasts: How I Learned To Love My Museum-Worthy Body

It’s not often that I see women who look like me on the cover of yoga magazines, but I can always find women with bodies like mine in museums. I have a body type that might be considered “classically beautiful.” But I want to be considered a current beauty, and I think many women in my position might agree. It's scary to learn that most women suffer from body dissatisfaction, regardless of what they look like. The general consensus among women nowadays is, "I’m not good enough. " Teaching yoga in the Hollywood-driven city of Los Angeles, as I do, makes it easy to feel different than the norm. I realize that this lack of confidence is an epidemic that spreads beyond the yoga world in L.A. A constant urge to lose weight to look like the women we see in media can create unhealthy expectations for ourselves. I can remember a time when I’ve been heavier, as well as a time when I’ve weighed less than my current weight. True beauty is within.
