January 3, 2009 at 11:05 amhot damn i’m impressed! especially crow pose looks insanely hard… nice work 🙂 thanks for doing this, i was wondering what poses you were talking about for some of the ones you’ve been mentioning!! i’ve only done yoga a few times (i always get so bored??) but maybe i’ll give it another try 🙂
lindsay
January 3, 2009 at 11:13 amI just took my first yoga class ever this morning, and I am totally in awe of your headstand! lol. It was much harder than I thought it would be, but good enough that I wanna go back again 🙂 I wish this studio offered something like the grooves class you did the other day, I bet yoga with music is even more fun!

you are GO-JUSS!! Okay, so when are you going to start your training to teach? When can you fly up here to Indiana to practice yoga with me? huh? When? Bring your Bible, we can read Proverbs, do a few headstands, and make some fruit smoothies! (bring your Vita-mix) Oh! And R and D can watch football! Bring Dex, he and my FAT CAT Bob can hang out.

Ashley H
January 3, 2009 at 11:51 amwow jenna I have been practicing for two years and you make me look like a beginner!! I am working on half moon pose and I am nowhere close to getting crow! I have been doing a 20 min podcast everyday for the last week and I am totally in love but those short sessions dont really work on inversion and balancing poses too often. I think I need to get into the studio more. Thank you for sharing with us!
Ashley H
January 3, 2009 at 11:52 amoh I have a question too.
When I learned handstand they taught me to keep my feet flexed. Does it make it harder? Should I try to point my feet first?
Nicole
January 3, 2009 at 12:04 pmI’ve GOT to learn yoga! You look beautiful, girl!
sandy
January 3, 2009 at 12:10 pmJenna,
When you first began yoga years ago did you find it difficult-I am wondering if you were always this flexible or did it develop over the years?
Do you ever get shoulder pains in yoga?
And finally have you ever thought about becoming a yoga teacher one day as a side job-you are so passionate it would be great !
Cheers, Sandy

Jenn
January 3, 2009 at 1:09 pmYou look fantastic and your floors are beautiful!
A friend’s husband told me the other day that yoga won’t make you stronger. I should link him to these pictures!
Sammie
January 3, 2009 at 1:19 pmGreat post!! I am now a yoga addict and the reason is obviously clear (your poses are beautiful). Practicing yoga makes me feel so strong and powerful in my own body. I really would not have given it a shot if you had not made it sound so amazing. Thanks Girlie!!

If you have shoulder pain while doing yoga poses, stop what you are doing and ask an experienced teacher to help you with your alignment! Shoulder and wrist injuries are common in yoga practioners and are totally avoidable with good alignment!
Also, as a yoga teacher, I feel compelled to put it out there that Jenna practices some advanced postures that you should not attempt on your own if you have not worked on alignment with an experienced teacher.

January 3, 2009 at 3:09 pmJenna, you are a freakin yoga rockstar! Half moon is my fav too but I still have to use a block.
TheSkinnyPlate
January 3, 2009 at 3:23 pmHow long did it take you to get to this level? I only practice once in a while at the classes they offer at my gym and they never teach the more complex poses. Thanks for sharing.
Jess.
January 3, 2009 at 3:25 pmWow! I just started practicing yoga again and seeing these pics reminds me of exactly why i wanted to get back into it! Thank you for sharing!
Sara
January 3, 2009 at 3:34 pmi”m certainly impressed. I’ve been getting back into yoga myself. I have yet to master the headstand. I was good with crow pose a few months back, but not so much now. I’m kicking myself for slacking off, but thats life. A quick question though…do you find that you are as hungry/require as many calories each day when doing yoga instead of cardio? I’m a distance runner so I require a lot of calories now, but I’m wondering if I need even more than I think now that I’m back at yoga. everyone’s different but suggestions are always helpful! Thanks 😉
jenna
January 4, 2009 at 9:13 pmSara,
Good question! Honestly, I couldn’t even tell you a rough number of calories I eat every day. I just don’t think about it all that much and I don’t count at all. I can tell you though that I’m sure your body needs more fuel as a long distance runner than practicing yoga….running is high impact and yoga is basically no impact and is not as cardiovascular as running. I’ve always eaten roughly about the same amount of food every day (3 meals + 3 snacks) no matter what physical activity I am doing and my advice to you is just to listen to your body and if you aren’t as hungry, eat less. If you are more hungry, have another snack. More than likely if you don’t run as much as you have been in the past, your body will settle into a normal routine and will let you know if it is hungry or not!
Chris
January 3, 2009 at 3:41 pmAll I can say is WOW! And to think that I am just proud to leave hot yoga alive and walking 😉 Amazing.

jenna
January 4, 2009 at 10:31 amSandy,
When I first started practicing yoga I could barely touch my toes! Seriously! But you get better every time you practice as your body becomes more flexible. There’s still a bunch of stuff I can’t do but every time I work at it my muscles remember the posture and let me go deeper into it! If you are having any sort of pain you definitely need to seek out a yoga instructor in your area so he/she can correct your alignment. You don’t want to hurt yourself! And yes, I have thought about becoming a yoga instructor..not right now though…maybe in a few years!
Melissa
January 4, 2009 at 6:48 pmYou look so calm and focused in your poses — awesome visuals! And has anyone ever told you that you look like Lauren Conrad from the Hills? She’s beautiful and you really look like a spitting image of her!
Tracy
January 4, 2009 at 7:46 pmJenna, thanks for inspiring us! I would also like to know the answer to the question from Sara about calorie intake – cardio vs. yoga?
Thanks!
Lynna
January 6, 2009 at 1:45 pmThanks for the motivation! I started doing yoga about 2 years ago and I love it when I’m committed but moving back and forth from home to college and back plus having lots of work and other commitments has made it difficult for me to stay on track with yoga. I hope one day I will be able to do all those poses as well as you.
Katy
January 7, 2009 at 9:12 pmJenna,
Wow, girl! Based on this post, I tried to do yoga videos for the last two days … I just can’t make it through. But if it gives me a body like that — I’ll keep trying!
I posted a little shoutout to you, with a link to this post, on my blog at http://sillytatertot.blogspot.com/.
Thanks!
Katy
