Album Notes

Stop Beeping Start Breathing -- and use your commute time productively.

Bumper to Bumper is a 13 track CD with a very simple breathing and movement exercise series that can be done while you are sitting in traffic. Starting with an introduction to breath this particular form of yoga uses a combination of focus and subtle movements to help release tension and wake up potential energy. Jen guides commuters through exercises designed to open the areas that get the most aggravated by sitting for too long: the neck, shoulders, back and hips. This is yoga for EVERYBODY.

DANCE, LAUGH, DRIVE, BREATHE, RELAX…

And have fun! Jen is accompanied by Eric Bloom from the Los Angeles band Idiot bRother. Eric has come up with an organic, acoustic groove that sends you chair-dancing and driving through even the most gridlocked commute.

Safety note: Yoga in the Car is not about zoning out, or hurting yourself in a stretch. Driving is your primary responsibility here. We want you to relax and unwind, but we want you to stay safe. Stay aware, keep your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, seatbelt fastened, and mind wide open. Practice at your own risk and practice wisely.
