We did a fundraiser for Haiti in February and brought tons of supplies down.

My friend personally delivered the many tents, sleeping pads (yoga mats), mosquito nettings and tarps and this photo was taken. It moved me deeply. I take so many things for granted in my life.

I look at this and realize that from now on, I’m doing yoga because of this photo. I do it because I can.
She’s holding a mat to sleep on. I get to hold a mat to practice on. I don’t feel like going most days, but I sweat my prayers on it, work out my frustrations and think of women like this starving, trying to save their families and just stay alive. I am so blessed and so are you. I believe in the power of intention and I believe that it’s a major flaw in humans to not use their bodies for good or treat their bodies well. Please go break a sweat today. Do it for someone else and just because you can.
