"When I'm at home, I just want some freedom. That's why yoga is so great. I do that crow pose when you put all your weight on your hands. I look at my hands then and I feel like I'm in charge. My world is in my hands. Nobody else's. Yoga also lets you go at your own pace. Yoga lets you make your own choices. You can rest in child's pose or do a different pose if you want. But you get that feeling you can choose. That you can choose your own lifestyle, too. I want a healthy lifestyle. A safe one. A happy one."
