Jon Gosselin is ready to go to the mat: the yoga mat!
See Us' exclusive photos of Jon Gosselin doing yoga -- and find out what our yoga expert has to say about his form!
The latest stop on his quest for inner peace was a yoga studio at a Los Angeles hotel Nov. 5. As exclusive photos at Usmagazine.com show, the 32-year-old reality star -- in shorts and a tattoo-revealing tank top -- tried out basic poses, stretches and breathing and meditation exercises.
Yoga may help the embattled star "find balance in his life," Michelle Demus, Programming Director at Manhattan's Pure Yoga, tells Us.
Check out a hilarious video of Jon Gosselin getting in touch with his spiritual side!
"I'm sure with all that has been going on in Jon's life, things are out of whack," Demus tells Us. "He's got to let go of external distractions and tap into his spirituality."
Observing snapshots of Gosselin's novice yoga session, Demus says that his body seems "closed off" and "holds a lot of tension."
That's no surprise. Facing numerous legal battles from his estranged wife Kate Gosselin and cable network TLC, Gosselin stormed off an Entertainment Tonight set recently after getting into a shouting match with girlfriend Hailey Glassman -- who had previously accused him of throwing "mantrums."

Prior to this outburst, Gosselin admitted Oct. 29 that "I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame," and that he yearned to "reconnect with my deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self."
The first step in this spiritual rebirth, he said, would be lots of quality time with his new spiritual advisor Rabbi Shmuley Boteach -- and with his eight kids.

Yoga, says expert Demus, could also help him become a better father.
"A big tenant of yoga is to let go, to be present in the moment," she tells Us. "So when he's with his children, he could actually be present and be a father."

In addition to his yoga session, he took a break by the pool to munch on a green apple, chat on his phone and catch up on some reading.
His books of choice? Tao Te Ching, a Taoist self-help tome, and a children's book.

AnonnieIt's all for show. He could care less about those kids and his morals are so low a snake could slither over em. He is doing all of this to try and look better in the judges eyes. Good luck with that Jon Boy .... you douche! Go back to your computer work, let Kate find a real man and hope that your kids one day don't look at you with the disgust you deserve!report abuseposted November 10, 2009 2:46 PM PST

OrderlyLLiving with Kate's bipolar disorder must have been awful -- the aggression, hostility, irritability, short attention span, the constant exploitation of everyone around her. And she can't see the effect her behavior has on others. It has been pointed out to her, but she responded, "I don't notice other people." Jon gets props for not decking her.report abuseposted November 10, 2009 9:38 AM PST
