Just like the name suggests, restorative yoga is an opportunity to catch up on some much needed R&R. Restorative yoga focuses on poses that are supported by props, giving the body a break from muscular effort. Supporting the body in various poses with bolsters, blankets, eye pillows and belts, the body over time balances the parasympathetic nervous system- think rest and digest system rather than our often norm of fight or flight mode. The support of the props enable subtle openings that can reestablish physical and mental harmony. Poses are held between 5 and 20 minutes in order to attain the full benefits of the poses. Supported poses are supplemented with guided meditation, pranayama, and accompanied by quiet as well as good tunes. This practice can be great for those looking to de-stress, recovering from injury, or just needing a slower paced practice.
A yoga retreat can be the perfect way to rest and restore. Stay tuned for upcoming retreats by signing up for the Urban Om NYC Newsletter.
Jenny has been coming to our home on a regular basis for nearly four years. She’s seen us through a pregnancy, two post-partum periods, various back injuries, normal aches and complaints, and of course, times when we feel great, too. Jenny is the perfect teacher for each one of these states. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, infinitely adaptable and wholeheartedly non-judgemental. She tailors each session to exactly how we are feeling and the hour passes by too quickly.
Doing couples yoga with Jenny is also therapeutic for our marriage. It is something we anticipate and experience together, and given that Jenny also happens to have a great sense of humor, each hour brings many laughs and much levity.
When we finish one session, before Jenny leaves, we book the next. And from that moment we look forward to it.

Jenny is an amazing teacher and yogi! I always feel so much better and happier after taking one of her classes or getting a private. She really knows her stuff, and she has a wonderful, grounding demeanor. I highly recommend her and her company!
Jenny is such a generous and warm teacher. Her classes are really well structured and I found myself being clearly led through beautiful sequences. Her adjustments were extremely helpful and I left her class feeling fully guided and well taken care of.
Jenny is the only instructor I have had that has been able to perfectly adapt my ability and needs session to session. Her expertise, communication, and coaching are second to none. I will continue to use Jenny to progress my yoga.
I have had the pleasure of working with Jenny for the past 9 years. She brings a lot of positive energy with her and it is always a real treat to practice with her. I look forward to our weekly sessions together as I always feel better after our yoga classes.
