I have loved the instruction on foundational principles of Ashtanga yoga, and Jill is not only knowledgeable but always willing to answer our many questions to help us grow as teachers!
From the training page
“This is a wonderful program in the heart of Chicago. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind. They helped me build a strong foundation of knowledge and a strong daily practice regarding yoga. The course was well worth my time and money. I learned so much and it changed my life for the better. After taking the course, my yoga practice reached new levels. I liked the hybrid flexibility of online and in-studio learning. I would highly recommend this school”
“Absolutely amazing, classes were fun, informative, and graceful. Our class came in as strangers and left as a family. Highly recommend”
