yoga sandbox moment: couchasana doggy-style

yoga lesson:  for those (dog) days when laying on your couch is really all you want to do.  make it your asana, couch-asana - being present on your couch.


i would call this puppy ardha navasana - couch-supported boat pose.  what would you call it?

the coming together of all things jenn: yoga instructor :: blogger :: whole foodie :: student of life

who am i (jenn pesce)?

by day, i have a full-time position as the brand director at an indie beauty company.  since i am a gemini (and real life twin), my other ‘side’ is a yogini, so i like to think of myself as a business yogini.  i have been practicing yoga since 2003 and took my first teacher training with sadie nardini in 2005.  each year i try to continue my yoga studies beyond just attending classes and my home practice with trainings and intensives. for example, i have also completed an 8-month yoga anatomy course with jason ray brown, an intro course in sanskrit at the ashtanga yoga shala studio, exploratory courses with tara stiles at strala yoga, a 200 hour course with alison west, and 72 hours of prenatal yoga studies.

as for my teaching experience i have worked with a non-profit organization called bent-on-learning and thoroughly enjoyed my time teaching children in public schools.  i have also taught weekly classes at private gyms in manhattan and have several private clients and semi-private groups.

in terms of a healthy lifestyle, i don’t smoke, drink moderately and eat like my mom taught me – colorfully.  i am a big advocate of whole foods (as in the actual food, but the store is a-okay in my book too), my juicer, food processor and beloved vitamix.  i love learning new information about what foods are good, why and how to get others to eat them.  i think pescetarian (yes, just like my name, it means fish) best describes my diet, mostly veggies with some fish and shellfish, oh and cheese, but in general i don’t eat things with beaks or boobs (in other words, no poultry, no mammals).  i am also known for encouraging my friends and family to eat ‘green things’ – at least once a day for starters. 

and lastly, i enjoy laughing, smiling and helping others do the same. 

why do i teach the yoga?

simply put, i teach to help find balance and the space between, that moment of freedom and levity, for myself and others.  by learning how to be ok on my mat, i have found i can figure out how to be ok regardless of whatever gets thrown my way once i step off of it . it's practice afterall for the big game known as life. through yoga, i firmly believe you can learn to laugh and find lightness in the everyday, because life should be bright and full of energy, on the regular.
