Kristin O'Connell, founder of D2C, the Devoted to Children Foundation that supports orphans and abandoned children in Haiti.  In addition to building homes for kids who have none, Kristin fosters an environment of healing through the practice and principles of yoga.  When I think of a healthy life personified, it's Kristin's imagine that appears.
