Namita Nayyar:
How has yoga changed your life?
Jennifer O:
I would say it has made me more aware of my body and my breath. It has made me more fearless, with practicing inversions (that I used to be terrified of). Most importantly it has created this space of inner calm, and it is something you end up having with you, on or off the yoga mat. And in fact, the calm was always there. Just tough sometimes in life to find your way back to.
Through the meditation part, you become sort of honest with yourself, peel off the layers, good and bad, and become much more in-tuned and notice the power of the stillness there is even in the most chaotic times.
Namita Nayyar:
Your meal before and after a workout session? First thing you consume after getting up in the morning?
Jennifer O:
So I know it’s better to practice on an empty stomach but I go straight to the kitchen after getting out of bed. I love coffee, and always like to eat something to give me energy. Normally a banana, some berries, maybe chia pudding or granola.
Namita Nayyar:
Favorite meal of the day? What food would you call a meal of the day? Supplements you advocate.
Jennifer O:
Favorite meal is brunch on a weekend and dinner.
I was raised and have been a vegetarian my whole life. It has finally become much easier to go out and find amazing vegetarian food.
I take vegan algae Omega oils, and holy basil which has benefits for the immune system, anti-inflammatory and good for stress, sometimes probiotic vegan gummies, but besides that, not a big pill taker.
