Jake went to his first yoga class like a lot of guys do - kicking and screaming. After that class, however, although he wasn’t sure exactly what happened, he knew he felt much better than he did when he first walked in.
Six weeks later, 40-pounds lighter and with a new-found appreciation for being pain-free, Jake was convinced that yoga not only works, but it is necessary to live ease-fully. He hasn’t looked back since.
Jake began writing for the U.S. News in 2014, focusing on the practical benefits and applications of yoga and mindfulness.
Jake teaches yoga to men and professional athletes including those on the Philadelphia Eagles, the Philadelphia Phillies and The Philadelphia Union.
Jake is featured as a yoga and health expert in publications including NPR, Harvard Med, Business Insider, Men’s Health, Huffington Post, HuffPost Live, Origin Magazine, ABC Philadelphia, Be Well Philly and The Philadelphia Inquirer.
