Offerings
Offerings
Whether your needs be met with a challenging vinyasa practice, a gentle restorative class or a combination of styles, these practices have the ability to quiet the mind, strengthen the body and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Offerings:
VINYASA Yoga
Vinyasa translates as, ‘to place in a special way’. Linking breath with movement, this practice has the power to leave one feeling aligned physically, mentally and spiritually. Classes are typically taught with breath counts and mindful hands on adjustments, guiding one through the practice in a thoughtful, safe process.
RESTORATIVE Yoga
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 recovering from injury or just needing a slower paced practice.
MEDITATION
Similar to vinyasa yoga, meditation is often taught as a breath based practice. By exercising various meditation techniques, one cultivates mindfulness and increases awareness of the inner workings of the mind. This increased awareness has the ability to enable one to better manage stress and live life in a more present and fulfilling way. Meditation practitioners have experienced amazing results, some of which include reduced anxiety and stress, better sleep, improved concentration, and increased mindfulness.
Pilates Mat
An incredible practice suitable for all levels, Pilates Mat builds strength in a safe and efficient way. Jenny received her pilates mat certification from Kinected Pilates in NYC and teaches one on one and group classes with a therapeutic approach. This somatic practice is especially great for injury prevention and recovery.
Pre and Postnatal Yoga
Jenny is pre and postnatal yoga certified. She has been honored to teach many expectant parents throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. She is currently on her own prenatal journey as she is pregnant with twins.
Prenatal yoga is a wonderful way to help alleviate the aches and pains of pregnancy, support a balanced pelvic floor, prepare for birth, soothe anxiety, and create sacred time when you can connect with your body, breath, and baby.
Yoga Teacher Mentoring
Have you completed your yoga teaching certification but find yourself needing more guidance? Jenny works with teachers to strengthen confidence in their teaching abilities and build a teaching career. Sessions range from as needed check-ins to a mentorship package.
