JILL - FOUNDEr, owneR & TEACHER

Jill holds a Bachelor Degree in Physical Therapy, is an E-RYT 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher, and a Certified Tier 1 Baptiste Teacher. She held a national massage license for 23 years and a Florida state massage license for 7 years. She has spent many hours studying anatomy, fascia, emotions and energy with various Anatomy Trains educators.

After a running injury in College, which ruptured a hamstring, Jill began to delve into Yoga as a form of rehabilitation and healing. What began as a practice to help her hamstring injury heal, turned into a now two-plus decade love for the practice of yoga, and a career as a teacher and now studio owner.

Jill trained directly with Baron Baptiste, starting in the Spring of 2005. She taught and assisted classes for about ten years at his studios that existed in the Boston area. Jill also taught at various other studios in the Boston and MetroWest areas, and ran her own business, Journey Wellness, for fourteen years, seeing clients privately for yoga and massage, before she moved to Florida in the Fall of 2018.

The whole-being health that Jill has experienced through her practice is what inspires her to teach and practice. Not only did her practice help her hamstring injury heal, but it helped her overcome a decade long struggle with anorexia and a neuromuscular disorder she has dealt with since childhood. The ability to find her physical center through alignment and breath, manifested in centering her mentally and emotionally and awakened a spirit in her she had no clue she had! Because of this, she emphasizes alignment and breath throughout her classes with a playful, yet challenging flow, to help all find their center, spirit, and essentially, their best self!

She is elated to present this studio In Pompano Beach with an incredible team of teachers, her life partner/business partner, Rich, included, and a stellar spot on the intracoastal! It is a direct testament to the power of alignment and breath! 

She welcomes you warmly and is looking forward to creating a vibrant community here to raise the vibration for all to live a life full of health and abundant energy!

I have been teaching Pilates and yoga for 23 years. When I was 18 years old, I walked into my first yoga class.  I knew the moment that I walked in that I found my calling; I knew I would become a yoga teacher. While I was working on my Bachelors degree in Psychology I would take as many yoga classes that I possibly could, and I realized that yoga and psychology go hand in hand. In January of 2004, I relocated to Boston for graduate school where I studied Holistic Psychology. My goal was to couple yoga with mental health counseling. While I was working on my graduate degree, I landed in the emergency room one night and was in awe as i watched the energy in the room. I soon realized that I wanted to become a registered nurse also. Shortly after, I went back to NY to work on my nursing degree. I have since coupled psychology, nursing, yoga and pilates into my practice and love every moment. Yoga will heal the soul, Pilates will strengthen and heal your body. I look forward to working with you on the mat and helping  you build inner and outer strength so that you can live your best life. 

Namaste 🙏 XO
