Jon Gosselin Hits the Yoga Mat

Jon Gosselin, the embattled father of eight, who is most often seen hanging with girlfriend Hailey Glassman, wearing Ed Hardy t-shirts and smoking, has been on a spiritual quest as of late. And it looks like yoga is the lastest stop on his path to inner peace. In the video above, from Us Weekly, you can see the 32-year-old reality star trying his hand at a few basic poses.

Michelle Demus, Programming Director at Manhattan's Pure Yoga, looked at the snapshots of Gosselin and told the magazine that his body seems "closed off" and "holds a lot of tension."

Gosselin admitted last month that "I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame." He added that he yearned to "reconnect with my deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self."

What do you think? Could yoga really help Jon Gosselin ditch his bad-dad ways, or is this just another publicity stunt?
