-Jennifer Hudson, on being a "big girl" in Hollywood.
"I thought yoga was fruity... I underestimated it. That yoga stuff is the bomb."
-A patient at the Santa Fe Recovery Center, where a holistic approach to addiction recovery includes yoga.
"You thought I didn't really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you."
