I love berries, greens, and salmon.

Mid-afternoon, I snack on Greek yogurt with nuts or a green juice from Juice Press.

I had the opportunity to train with Natalie Portman for 'Black Swan,' and the program we created was intense and involved a lot of travel.

I love nuts and popcorn with olive oil and sea salt.

I'm from North Carolina, so I am really picky about my fried chicken.

Generally, I snack on lots of fresh fruit and raw nuts, such as almonds.

I like to customize my tights by cutting them myself to create a stirrup or convert the look into a capri.

I've found the entire process of being pregnant to be such a miraculous, beautiful time.

You won't find me in a sports bra and low-slung leggings.

The image of a pregnant woman embracing her figure and really putting it out there can be scary to some people, but I don't let that stand in my way, and I don't think other women should either.

Ballet Beautiful is about finding balance and making fitness a part of your life in a happy, healthy, rewarding way where you get to feel pretty and look beautiful. It's not about beating yourself up in the gym and locking yourself in a dark room with blasting music.

Ballet Beautiful is a workout that transforms the body without overtaxing the system or joints.

I love white linens and walls mixed with antique Victorian furniture.

Because I dieted so much in the past, I just can't diet again. It's something I don't want to do and I don't even know if I am capable of. I think it's a much healthier and happier way to live.

Making fitness a priority will energize you, make you look and feel better, and help diffuse stress.

I don't let my wardrobe dictate my diet.

The idea for 'Ballet Baby' started when I was going through my own pregnancy.

With ballet, you're really focused on the inner thigh and butt and just lifting and lengthening everything, including your arms. You're not using weights, but holding up the weight of your own arms is a challenge.

In yoga, you hold the positions, whereas in dance, you're constantly moving, extending, reaching through the legs and arms, which helps build long, lean muscles as opposed to shorter, tighter ones.

I think being in the right mindset is a huge challenge for women, who often take an all-or-nothing approach to working out or eating well.

Have something that you enjoy, that satisfies you. For me, that is dark chocolate, red wine, and cheese. But make room in your life for vegetables and whole grains to nourish your body.

Any exercise is better than nothing, even if it's only five minutes.

If you don't have the time or money to get to the gym, work out at home. It saves tons of time and makes life more efficient.

I try and get as much sleep as I possibly can, although it's harder with a baby.

Sometimes people feel really trapped by the body that they have. Women are told, 'You have this body shape; you're a pear or string bean, and you can't change the way you look.' That's just not true.

When you're not experiencing your food, that's when it's harder to pay attention to when you're full, and that's what being satisfied really means.

Audrey Hepburn was always so chic, simple, and beautiful.

My style is a little '70s and classic old Hollywood. I incorporate a lot of vintage, bohemian blouses paired with a good wedge.

Could you physically lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks? Maybe. But there's no way you could do that in a healthy way or that you could maintain it.

One of the big things, especially if you're eating out frequently, is either splitting an entree with someone or ordering a protein-heavy appetizer for an entree, like a salmon or steak tartar. If I'm dying for a burger, I'll get the burger but have it with salad instead of fries and a glass of red wine instead of a beer.

It's not realistic to say never eat sugar, but I try to limit my sugar as much as I can to buckwheat honey and dark chocolate, which I love.

Pregnancy is magical, I've never felt more connected to my body.

The changes that your body goes through during pregnancy are so radical, I've really tried to embrace and celebrate my new body, and hopefully I can encourage other women to do the same.

My company, Ballet Beautiful, is built around celebrating the strength and femininity of the female body - for me, pregnancy has just been an extension of that.

I live in my Ballet Beautiful street shoes.

For the hair, a few French hairpins and a tortoiseshell clip will dress up any bun!

Keep it simple. Layer your leotard with high waisted skinny jeans, legwarmers, and heels or high boots.

I love how chic yet simple ballet style is for everyday dressing.

A leotard is more versatile than you might think!

I've learned that there are many people out there who want to feel powerful and strong on their own terms, who want to tune out the noise and the punishing nature of grueling workouts. With 'Ballet Beautiful,' we have peeled back the mystery of ballet and allowed people to do these workouts anywhere and in their own time.

Before founding Ballet Beautiful, I was a ballerina with the New York City Ballet.

A calming place, where you can go to escape it all and just focus on your body, is so wonderful to have.

I want my workouts to feel like a luxury, a way to pamper yourself and add a beautiful dimension to your everyday life.

All of the vintage photos of Ballets Russes are so inspiring.

I adore the tapestries at the Musee de Cluny in Paris!

I became completely obsessed with body oils while pregnant.

One of the things I found as a dancer is that you're trying to perfect your body but also protect it and keep it injury-free. When you work against your own weight, you're still building lean muscle and bone density, but you're in a safer zone.

The key to building long muscle as you swim is stretching arms far ahead of you in the water, sort of like a swan.

My approach in general is to take really great care of my skin, but I try not to overdo it and not use too many crazy products.

I sometimes wash my face at night with Cetaphil, which I like because it's a really gentle face wash.
