Yoga in Paris for the First Time

Music by: DJ Quads

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.

Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.

Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

My battery is almost dead but I'm just letting you know that I've left 20euro at Le Peloton for you to spend on coffee, their coffee is delicious and the lady that served us was lovely, enjoy the coffee buddy.

Now I understand why you guys were late! That brunch looked delish 😍

Hey Jay! I am excited to hear the upcoming stories. I don’t have much time these days to watch your vlogs def not the old ones. A lot of men have a stigma against doing yoga and it makes me really happy to see you doing it anyways. Keep up the great work!

[Saturnea]

I've wondered how many more intros you have stored until you run out :). As one of those newbie subscribers, looking forward to the recap.

I would love to see the three of you film a video in French. ( Jay, Cheryl & Andrea)

[kaleidoscopeallie]

Re: idioms - I accidentally used "I have a cat in my throat" in English the other day...received mixed feedback. 😼

[amyl]

I've been meaning to ask, but keep forgetting... you've mentioned that Natasha is a writer but (unless I missed it, which is entirely possible) never mentioned where to find her books? I would love to check out her work :)

I’ve finally caught up with the vlogs. Oops!! Just today. What a week for me. 😆 Would love to do yoga too. I might just suddenly fart mid session HAHAHAHA. LIKE. UHM.

[wolfweintraub]

namaste jay_good for you and I would highly recommend at least 10 minutes a day of mediation
to deal with those “ mais c'est pas possible” moments

[normajeanalmazanbelt]

Keep doing yoga. It gets easier and before you know it you're more and more limber. I like yoga but hate that it comes with all the NAMASTEs, praying hands and meditating. Just not me. I DO like it for the stretching and physical challenge. Also, yoga and weight lifting or strength training is great to combine with your running. You may gain weight in muscle but it helps with calorie loss. Geez, watching your videos really inspires me to get really active again. Just maybeeee? Haha!! Baby steps!

The Seine flooding made international news which is interesting, also in international news the Nutella fiasco - a discount caused a shopping frenzy in grocery stores hahahaha i didnt think Parisians were like that, it looked like the swarms of Black Friday shoppers in the U.S. Also at 5:48 in this video your friend is in yoga pants hahah, I always wondered ....

[rhinosaur]

I was really about to suggest you add some weight training or something to your routine. It'll actually help with breaking any plateaus you reach by just running. Plus then you can eat a bit more.

[bleumarin]

coffee before yoga ? Are you sure ?! Hope you enjoyed it anyway.

[matthewvanostin]

lol why do you copy EXACTLY casey neistat format 😂
