Jill is an E-RYT 500 who began teaching in 2008 after certification under ordained Yogacharya Eric Walrabenstien and Yoga Pura. She has taught in various environments beyond traditional studios, including corporate retreats, within organizations, at spas and gyms, and as a volunteer in an at-risk youth community. Having a real passion for human behavior, Jill studied co-active coaching at CTI in San Rafael, which brings a unique perspective and connection with her students. She intends to leave students feeling strong, present, and with a combo of high, yet peaceful energy. She strongly believes in the 8 limbs of yoga and yoga sutras, "yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind" above everything else. Born in Pennsylvania, but always a West Coast vibe at heart. Her move to San Francisco in 2013 had a lot to do with the abundance of yoga and esteemed teachers in the Bay. Off the mat, she is often dog-sitting, seeing live music, or eager to laugh and watch Netflix comedy specials.
