“I do power yoga daily.”
Last summer, Jill Aronsky’s husband, Jeffrey, threw her a surprise 50th birthday party on the Lower East Side. He took a chance and presented her with her original wedding gown so she could look the part while they renewed their vows in front of a rabbi.
“I was worried that it wouldn’t fit, but it did,” says the certified yoga teacher from Armonk, NY, who also has a home in the East Village. “The only problem was we didn’t have time to fix all the [intricate] buttons on the back because our guests were waiting for me to get changed.”
Nonetheless, Aronsky received plenty of compliments and is pleased the dress still fits a year later for The Post photo shoot. She weighed just 115 pounds on her July 1998 wedding day and now weighs around 5 pounds more, despite having had three daughters, now ages 17, 14 and 9.
“After each baby, I was able to put my jeans on the next day, and my stomach was flat,” she says. “But I had very healthy pregnancies and kids.”
The blonde credits her lithe 5-foot-9 figure to Vinyasa power yoga (which she practices for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour each day) and sound nutrition.
“I don’t diet but I lead a healthy lifestyle, and I’m all about balance,” she says. “I don’t keep junk [food] in the house because I want my girls to eat well, and I grow all my own organic vegetables.
“We like juicing and making smoothies. But I must also admit a soft spot for french fries when we’re eating out.”
