Hi, I'm Jill! I dabbled in so many forms of movement growing up (skating, dance, volleyball, etc), but it wasn't until a friend dragged me to a yoga class in the early aughts that I was able to fully connect with myself. I remember feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and profusely sweaty in that heated/branded power class, but I also remember being incredibly tuned into the sensations I was experiencing, and the patterns of my thoughts. I felt fully present, unwavering in the face of my limitations, my power, my spaciousness. Since then, yoga has been a way to center myself during even the most tumultuous times of my life. It reminds me to practice compassion, everyday, for self and for others. In terms of the physical, I love that postural yoga provides a chance to work all areas of the body, to practice building strength at end ranges, and connects us to the rhythms of our breath and our heartbeat. I've taught over 3,500 hours since earning my 200-RYT in 2016 with Mimi Loureiro and completed my 300-RYT in 2022 under Daniel Max and Ame Wren. Since 2017, I have completed dozens of hours in trauma-informed training, as well as prenatal and postpartum training, and have loved working with parents-to-be, new parents, and their littles all around Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville, MA. I hope to be a guide on the path that leads yogis back to themselves.
