You know what's kinda the worst? Second guessing whether your story, your wisdom, your life, is really worth telling. It's not as though I continuously get feedback that sounds like, "Geez, Jenna, shut up already", and yet I have allowed this little ticker tape to continue in my brain when I start to share my … Continue reading Self-worth, insights, and all the other things I worry about

Choosing joy
I have been using this motto for well over a year now, and I know I've posted a bit about it. Every year or so I tend to give myself a focus-- I basically refuse to align these goals with New Years because I try to pretend I'm special and different from everyone else (let's be … Continue reading Choosing joy
I do what I want!
It's been quite a while since my last entry, and for probably good reasons--at least, that's what I keep telling myself. #justification So let's take a quick journey from September, shalth we? (I'm aware this is not a word, thank you!) I was a few months into a relationship in that post, and with the … Continue reading I do what I want!
Build or Break: What do you choose?
Hello again! It's been much longer than I like between blogs, but its a manifestation of a greater issue I've been dealing with in the last few months: taking care of myself. I'm an overly sacrificial person. It's true. Putting others in front of myself comes naturally, but I don't do it in a healthy … Continue reading Build or Break: What do you choose?
The Yoga Challenge

I'm aware that I may have clogged your feeds with pictures of myself in various poses, and I apologize if that causes you any grief; however, … Continue reading The Yoga Challenge
Stillness
Sheesh, it's been a busy week. Classes, work, visiting old friends in Flagstaff, family time, working out, an amazing hike, and of course, some yoga. I won't pretend I've been a model yogi in this week. My reactivity flared up, eager to be annoyed by small things and passing comments. I was hurt, agitated, sad, and … Continue reading Stillness
Equanimity
So.... I joined the group of tattooed people today. While I wanted a tattoo for a long time, I was terrified; my body would never be the same. It would never be "pure" again, as I liked to joke with my friends. Then my beautiful friend Barbara reminded me how my body changes daily … Continue reading Equanimity
oh, them vices.
What’s your crutch? We all have one. Or twelve. Myself? I have a few. I don’t want to focus this post on any particular addiction. I simply want to acknowledge that when I am anxious, frustrated, hurt, insecure…. I turn to a few things to help me “get over it”. Wait, wait. I thought Jenna is … Continue reading oh, them vices.
Endless Learning (originally written 3/16/2015)
Had another amazing Yogaholics Anonymous class yesterday! The group was enthusiastic, willing and strong! Hope to see more yogis and non-yogis alike at our next meeting. It is always such a pleasure to teach, especially when I'm having a hard week, as I am currently. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago, and I can't … Continue reading Endless Learning (originally written 3/16/2015)
