Nicole, a photographer and educator at lululemon Eaton Centre in Toronto, asked guests and educators what their favourite body part is and why.

rebecca

I love my collarbone because it is so defined and makes me feel oh so beautiful and womanlike, especially when I'm dancing, modeling, acting and walking!

marlissa


I love my arms because they are feminine and lean, especially my triceps. They make me feel strong when I'm grabbing those handle bars in spin class!

keri


I love my bum because it is like no one else's and follows me everywhere I go. It rocks out from everything to squats, shopping and even on the dance floor!

karey

I love my legs because they carry me through my day. I appreciate that I've been blessed with two of them. They provide me with thee ability to dance, run, swim, bike, hike or strut!

jennifer


I love my tiny waist because it leads to a nice bum, which isn't always popular for Asian women. I love my waist in hot yoga class and finding outfits to accentuate it.

greg


I have been blessed with naturally broad shoulders. They are the envy of my smaller shouldered brother. They look even larger when compared with my tiny hands.

ashley, alex & marisa


Ashley: I love my collarbones because they protrude and make me feel beautiful. My favourite workout is bikini bootcamp.

Alex: I love my stomach because it's toned and makes me feel good about myself, and shows me that my hardcore ab workouts are paying off.

Marisa: I love my arms because they make me feel strong and beautiful, especially my biceps. I love working my arms in a muscle conditioning class called Fabulously Firm.

andrea

I love my beautiful waist because it makes me feel awesome, especially sweating in Zumba class.

What's your favourite body part, and why?

I love my high cheekbones because they make me look more exotic. :)

AHHHHMAZING! It’s so inspiring to see other men and women should they’re happiness and gratitude towards their bodies. Sometimes we don’t always appreciate the blessing we have! Awesome post Nicole :)

I love my legs, knees down…after 9+ years of dance, they are the leanest part of my body!! They are strong, and get me where I need to go!!

I love that each person recognizes something so beautiful about themselves. It’s so inspiring to read their remarks. I love LULULEMON. Thanks for celebrating the human body!

I love my smile. If I’m smiling it’s what I’m feeling inside… happy!

This is such a great post! It’s fun to see beautiful women (and men!) who are REAL, fit, and happy! SOOO much better than looking at a magazine of models and celebrities. Thanks for this…
Oh, and I like my legs and booty – they help me rock out in Zumba class and while running.

I love my eyes because they are unique and they make me see the world, the colors,the sun, I can smile with them, show deep emotions, and most of all, I can love with them!

This a great post and I love seeing us women loving our bodies! I love my shoulders…always have and I don’t know why :D

This is pretty darn creative Nicole, nicely done. The photos are all exceptional, and the concept of their favorite body part being incorporated into the photographic aspect is done perfectly! :)

I love my arms and shoulders, love how strong I feel, lean and mean…without doing weights, all from Yoga. I love that at the age of 50 I don’t have bat wings and can wear sleeveless top and feel good about it!

I love my legs because they carry me far. 10K and counting, and (hopefully) through my next challenge: a half-marathon.

Yeah! Can’t wait to visit your store! I am running in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon Sept. 26. Coming in from Cleveland Ohio! Hope you have lots of good things for me to buy.

I think this is a great post. Nicole’s photography is absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to see more of her posts. I think it’s great that she photographed different body types, because everyone should be proud of at least some parts of their body! It’s so easy for us pick a part of our body that we hate (our teeth, our hips, our flabby arms) but it’s a challenge to tell others what we love about our bodies. Embrace! This is a lovely post!

I love this!! its so great, seeing other people able to love their own unique bodies lets everyone else see its ok to do the same. I love my feet because they take me everywhere i need to go! nd i love my lungs because each breath of air powers my every movement:)

I love my legs because they are thin and toned and allow me to dance, run, and take me where every i want to go

Love the positive message of this post. I have, like most women, felt less than inspired by my body at certain times, and it is such a waste of energy. Having children completely changed that for me. This body gave me 2 beautiful girls, and I love all of it, flaws and all!
