Please get in touch!

“A few years ago, I survived a life altering accident. Falling through a floor, fifteen feet, left me with four fractured vertebrae. A splinter from one of those vertebrae was touching my spinal chord leading doctors to think I might never walk again. After almost a year of pain killers and feeling physically helpless, and depressed about the fact that my life would never be the same, Jordan Mallah introduced me to Anusara Yoga. Never having considered myself to be the type of person to practice yoga, at this point I was willing to try anything. Jordan sat down with me for almost two hours explaining the details of my injury and what I needed to do to recover and how he could help me regain relatively normal function. His incredible knowledge of anatomy and yoga therapeutics along with his warm heart and healing touch were exactly what I needed to guide me down the road to recovery.

Needless to say, years later (and virtually pain-free), I am still one of Jordan’s students and most ardent fans. I have learned so much about my body and what it needs to stay healthy. Everything Jordan teaches, promotes and advocates seems to have only positive effects on my body and my life-style. I am grateful to Jordan for helping me achieve so much. More than the physical recovery I have joyfully experienced, Jordan has helped me regain a more health-focused, balanced life and has empowered me to realize I can do anything I set my mind to accomplish. Jordan is an inspiration to all who have the privilege to know him both in and out of the classroom.”

“No other medical professional or physical therapist has been able to assist me the way that Jordan has over the past few months. I have visited neurologists about ongoing back-pain and the loss of feeling in my upper legs where I was informed that the deterioration of the nerves in my spine would increase with age. The doctors told me there was little to no chance of change in my level of pain through work on my own or through physical therapy, which was quite disheartening. One of my colleagues recommended I work with someone he knew how was an amazing yoga therapist. A bit skeptical but desperate for relief, I went to Jordan to help alleviate the pain that was caused though the compression in, and deterioration of, my spine.

Since beginning my therapeutic work with Jordan, I no longer have ongoing lower back pain, and have regained feeling in my outer legs. Jordan’s knowledge of the body, spine, muscle structure and nervous system astounds me every time we work together. I look forward to continuing my journey of pain-free growth with Jordan for the long-term.”

“I met Jordan by chance just five months ago when I stumbled into one of his classes, and he has already had a great positive impact on my life and on my health. After five group classes, in which Jordan carefully re-positioned each of my stances, I discovered a form of yoga that could help me recover from joint pain, relax and simultaneously get to be around Jordan (a kind and uplifting person, who makes you happy that you made it to class). The experience was so positive that I knew that I would benefit from private sessions with him, in which I learned how to find a program right for me, with my particular injuries. I have had trouble sticking with regular forms of exercise, as I experience joint pain and injuries that discourage me from sticking with anything. That said, Jordan has helped me find a form of exercise that makes me feel better about being just how I am, that makes my body feel great and that makes me realize how lucky I am to practice it with him. For anyone who has a medical condition or pain anywhere in their body, Jordan is the teacher for you!”

“I came to Jordan through the recommendation of my yoga teacher because I was having a lot of lower back issues about a year and half ago. I didn’t know what to expect but just from the first class I had with him, I knew I was in good healing hands. He took time to understand what my issues were and mapped out exactly what we needed to work on to help strengthen and heal my back. He paid close attention to my body alignment and taught me how to fine tune the way I hold myself, and my physical patterns. He taught me exactly what I needed to learn in order to engage and open all the right muscles and I was able to relieve the years of pain I had in my lower back. I’ve learned so much from him about my own body and have since been able to enjoy my yoga class’s pain free. Jordan truly is an amazing teacher and his energy is always so genuine and positive. Just to be greeted at the door by his warm smile seems to melt all the stress away even before my class starts.”

- Andrew L, New York, NY

“Jordan has been a wonderful teacher and guide on my yoga journey. He is both commanding, yet patient and allows you to strive to achieve your best. Yoga for me has become a mind, body, spirit connection that is positive and uplifting. Although I am a beginner, this past year has been very transformative due to Jordan’s skillful and experienced guidance. Jordan is an expert teacher. After my lesson I always feel so much better, both mentally and physically. I learn to think about life from a positive perspective, a gentle reminder to be grateful for all of my abundant blessings.“

- Jennifer B, Roslyn, NY

“I have learned so many things from Jordan but first and foremost; how to start the journey of stepping into my own power, including prioritizing and then balancing my own physical and spiritual needs. As a corporate executive, my work is intense and I travel all over the world. Having never done yoga, my body was stiff, and the stress levels I had were literally making me sick. Working with Jordan whenever I am in town has helped shift the way I live my life. Jordan is an amazing teacher who is patient but disciplined and working with him has truly surpassed any expectation I had of what a beginning private yoga instruction might be. He is a great person with a special aura and a natural talent for sharing all he knows about the wonders of yoga. I have done a few private yoga retreats with him, and the extensive transmission of information in such a short period of time had a powerfully positive impact on my life and my work.”

- Mitch M, New York, NY

“I have been beautifully assisted with my practice by Jordan for the past two and a half years. I originally began practicing with him to help heal my body after damaging my lower back. The practice of yoga is intended to join, or bring together, the mind, heart, spirit, and body, and Jordan focused on enjoining all of these realms to return me to my highest self. He truly helped line up my body to relieve the pain I had from my injury. By integrating the alignment with the spiritual lessons Jordan teaches in every session, my practice and life has blossomed. I have expanded my range of motion, found greater joy in my life, and am finally pain free!”
