Even amphibians struggle with self-acceptance.

Well, OK, maybe just one musically-inclined puppet.

In the lyrics of his well-known song, “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” Kermit starts off wishing he were something else:

It’s not that easy bein’ green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or
yellow or gold-
or something much more colorful like that.

But by the last verse, Kermit begins to accept himself for what he is:

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it’ll do fine,
it’s beautiful!
And I think it’s what I want to be.

And not only does Kermit think yogically – he does yoga, too.

Yoga also helps with his youthful appearance, Kermit said in 2005 in Kermit, Texas at a celebration of his 50 years in showbiz.
