Los Angeles: Om the Road
Stop beeping. Start Breathing. That's Jen Swain's motto.
Swain, the charming yoga fairy in this funny video, is a Los Angeles yoga teacher, who recognized that we live in a commuter city where car time can be a frustrating, anxiety producing experience. So in an effort to turn a negative into a positive, she decided to create an audio Yoga in the Car practice.
Her voice is soothing; the work is grounding with simple pranayama techniques as well easy-to-follow instructions for subtle, small movements for the neck, shoulders, spine, hips, legs, knees, feet and face.
Swain is also no stranger to stressful situations. A cancer survivor, who turned to yoga and meditation as part of her healing, she continues to teach in Burbank at Yoga Groove and Yoga Blend. And for those dealing with cancer, look for her workshop called "Moving Through Cancer", a mix of yoga and creative writing which will take place at Yoga Blend on October 12th.
In the meantime, let us know how you cope in the car.
