Originally starting her career as a high school biology teacher, Jill shifted her presence from the classroom to the yoga studio. After a bout with cancer, Jill realized the yoga she'd been practicing could help with pain management, mood regulation, and overall strength and wellbeing. Yoga became an anchor in her life, and her passion for yoga blossomed as her drive to teach persisted. Jill's focus in her classes is to cultivate a healing environment and empower students to become more connected with their bodies and minds from a kind, compassionate, and humorous perspective. After her first certification from the White Lotus Foundation, Jill expanded her discipline to teach therapeutic yoga. Her teaching style is informed by Harvey Deutch and received multiple advanced training certifications under his mentorship and still works with him on various retreats and trainings. After over 1,000 hours of training, Jill became a Certified Yoga Therapist in 2020.
