Now this is a face I haven’t seen in a while. India Arie graces the cover of Yoga Journal after a long hiatus from the music world.

The ‘I Am Not My Hair’ singer tells Yoga Journal that she had to “leave the road and get myself together.” She explains how yoga helped her with her heal her body and her voice.

On revamping her diet and fine tuning herself and her music:

“Everything in my music has always been emotionally and spiritually motivated … But after I started doing yoga, the place where I came from changed drastically,” she said.

On switching up her diet:

“Our food choices show up on our body. [We have to] know that are no short cuts to looking and feeling our best,” she says. “I am still learning about this but it shows up on my skin when I am off-balance … and I feel more tired, too.”
