“The Harder I Work, the Luckier I Get” This quote about the relationship between work and luck comes from famous film producer Samuel Goldwyn.

Jenna Palm is one of those rare individuals who a)has her own business, b) has been influential in one of our hosts’ lives, and c) has not wanted to punch Peter. Coming from a background of dance and gymnastics, Jenna saw yoga as a new physical challenge. She attended regular yoga classes on her college campus and quickly fell in love with the practice. She began teaching Yoga in 2010, and has been described by some as “the greatest yoga teacher in the universe.”
