The poses are just something that you do to breathe through, to calm your nervous system down, and to bring you back to your center.

And that really spoke to me.

There was a big... No, it was a painting on the wall of the yoga studio that says, Desire and Detachment.

And I said, what does that mean?

And he said, well...

of course we want we want all the beautiful things in life we want all the pleasures we want all the happiness we want every we want it all there's nothing wrong with that but you can't be attached to it because then if you're attached to it and you don't have it what's going to happen to you so i studied that for a while and i studied sanskrit i had a teacher and you know i learned that the vibrations of the letters you know had a calming effect on your nervous system and centered you

and placed you firmly rooted in the earth.

And all of that made sense to me.

But then again, nothing happens by accident.

But I was pregnant with my daughter, Lola, my oldest daughter.

And I suddenly realized, I was living in LA, I suddenly realized,

I'm going to be responsible for another human being.

What am I going to teach her?

I'm like a meteor making my way on this planet.

I have great survival instincts.

I have a great work ethic.

Yes, I'm very ambitious, all of those things.

But I was never, like, I was just knocking them down, you know what I mean?

And not, like, looking back.

Like, I'm going to be somebody because that's, you know, that's why I came to New York in the first place.
