More than anything I want to learn to be graceful. The weird thing is that during yoga you'd almost think I was, but never at any other time. It doesn't seem to carry over. I've never gotten comfortable inside my own body (I'm 23). What can I do?

work on your posture.. don't slouch when you walk or sit down and at home (i know it sound weird) but try to walk around while balancing a book on your head, if you like to wear heals practice with them, it will help your balance and will help you walk straight and tall with nice posture... grace is all about the way you carry your self, so have good posture, self esteem and be yourself ! good luck!! :)

their is a few things....study some basic ballet....the main compnent of that is grace and being able to imitate what you see....this will give you a base. Watch how ballet dancers move their hands and arms and bodies. Watch models.....see how they move. Notice everything they do is soft...their hands are soft. You kind of have to think dainty thoughts ...almost like your made of air or your walking on egg shells. Nothing is sudden or jerky. Good posture helps...dont quit the yoga this will help wiht your dancing and grace. Learning how to move like a certain refrence or person is all about imitation...its how people in the years before did it and its how people will do it in a hundred years. An example would be a cat....a cat never moves for no reason....when they move it always has a purpose. it always has a flow to it...nothing seems out of place. DOes that make sense? Here are some examples....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOCF-E2Jovg

for some reason with age we seem to grow more graceful and comfotable with ourselves. It is really hard to tell someone one how to be graceful . it's almost like trying to tell someone how to be funny, or beautiful. it comes with age.
