About Jill

Jill found yoga in 2003 while braving the challenges she faced in medical school. She soon found herself buried in spiritual books instead of her textbooks and after three years of medical school and much soul searching, she withdrew from medical school knowing that she had greater gifts to offer the world through yoga. When something changes your life so profoundly and completely, you want to share it with the world. After moving to South Jersey, she began to teach in April 2006 and found inspiration in the creativity of Vinyasa Yoga. She completed two 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training programs: one in Vinyasa Yoga and one in alignment-focused Anusara Yoga. She completed the 500 Hour Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Training at Kripalu. It has been her great privilege to nurture hundreds of aspiring yoga teachers over the last 13 years as they find their truth and voice through her 45 hour and 200 hour yoga teacher trainings. She also teaches Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra Teacher Trainings and has done extensive training in yoga therapeutics, Ayurveda, and Vedic astrology and is a certified Vedic Astrologer who does private readings over the phone. She is currently studying meditation and philosophy with Paul Muller-Ortega and is an Authorized Teacher of Neelakantha Meditation. With her extensive knowledge of anatomy and her cheerful sense of humor, she seeks to create a safe, warm, and light-hearted space for her students to peek inside, explore, and connect to the greatest teacher-the teacher within- to find guidance and discover more about their true divine nature. Inspired by spiritual texts, poetry, and life’s latest lessons, she frequently designs her sequencing to explore a spiritual theme or challenge and invites her students to reflect and find answers themselves.

Teaching yoga has brought her great joy and has become the ultimate way to practice yoga and learn more about herself.
