Inspired by the instructor and the teachings she learned from the program, Jenni gave birth drug-free and naturally in a birthing center—something she never would have anticipated.When struggling with anxiety a few years later, a doctor suggested yoga and sent her back to her mat. As someone who regularly engaged in exercise to relieve stress, she recognized its value and gave yoga a second try. The result was life-changing for Jenni. She grew stronger through the poses and flows. But more importantly, she quickly found herself applying the teachings and principles presented in class to explore healthier ways to approach her personal well-being, mental health, and relationships. She left classes feeling not only better physically, but also calmer, more balanced, stronger, and more in-tune with herself mentally.Jenni began writing about these experiences, sharing reflective essays in a blog called My Own Little Corner by Jenni (myownlittlecornerbyjenni.wordpress.com).Jenni found clarity and grace on her yoga mat that she wanted to share. In this, her first book, she presents a collection of her thoughts, tied together with this theme. After over 30 years employed in the Communications and Event Planning field, Jenni’s college English major—and decades of journaling and creative writing—aided her in compiling these essays.Taking Yoga Off the Mat offers concepts that readers can implement to find balance, strength, and calm amidst their own day-to-day dramas. It contains ideas on which they can reflect and learn to take off their mat (real or proverbial) and into the world.A Marketing and Communications professional who works with both a country club and professional theatre organization, Jenni also performs as a community theatre actress, loves to lose herself in a good book, explore waterways on her paddleboard, and knit. She resides in the Metro Detroit area along with her family—husband Doug, children Jarod and Paige, and cat Ellie.view less
