Her warmth and kindness creates a beautiful class environment, in which students are fully supported. Her wealth of knowledge never fails to make each class uniquely interesting and fulfilling. Her gentle, caring presence always allows her students to feel comfortable and leave her class feeling calm, centred and ready to continue with their day. Jill is an inspiring, compassionate teacher and a beautiful person, ready to support all women on their yoga and wellness journey. Kate S. - Student, Canada I have the privilege of knowing Jill as a colleague, teacher and friend. My first meeting with Jill was during our teacher training in 2013 and her positive energy had a tremendous impact. As we continued to teach and study together throughout the years, her knowledge of women's health was apparent. Jill teaches with enthusiasm, compassion and care. As women progress through various stages of life, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause, I would highly recommend Jill as a yoga teacher as she is gifted in this field. Maureen M. - Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, Canada https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f87b673daa8866a9cdaf0b/1629750087800-BP1SMKY7Z5JYQVLZN9BM/unsplash-image--ic7-rfuClg.jpg Testimonials I have had the honour of knowing Jill for six years. What is extraordinary about Jill is that she lives in absolute integrity, and that she is now a woman who has woven her life experiences - from midwifery in rural England, to counselling, social work, homeschooling her children and now a beautiful yoga teacher, together to offer women a deeply healing package. As a Lightworker, Jill has so much to offer women during the sacred transitions of life, from the postpartum woman, to women transitioning through menopause. I truly wish that I had known Jill after the birth of my daughter. With Jill at my side, I know I would have had such a different experience. It would have been wonderful to have felt truly supported on so many levels and heard deeply. Jill has so much to offer to facilitate healing, and navigating the journey into the motherhood without the isolation, confusion and struggle that I, and so many other women experience.

I am so glad you are here. I am passionate about supporting women throughout all stages of life: to walk with women on their unique journey, to hold space and to see them as they truly are. The offerings I provide are a culmination of my own experience in mothering, working in health related professions, and the wealth of teachings I have received from wise women and experts in the fields of yoga, meditation, energy work and spiritual and holistic health, over many years. I am a life long learner. I am in love with yoga and all things spiritual. I am creative and love to paint with watercolours. I love drinking chai on a snowy day and my Nordic heart craves cozy days and candlelit evenings. Bookshops make me happy and being in nature soothes my soul. My greatest joy in life is my family and being a mother is my adventure of a lifetime. I am here to nurture your path to wellness and I am honoured to do this work. Namaste, blessings and much love. Jill’s yoga journey. Jill began studying yoga 25 years ago in her home country of England. The practice was perfect to balance the busyness of life in community social work. After moving to Calgary, Jill discovered the Iyengar tradition of yoga and began studying with senior teachers from across Canada and the world. The practice had so many benefits for her chronic back injury, the transitions of young motherhood and her active life as a homeschooling mother. Maintaining a steady practice for three years, Jill was accepted into the Iyengar Yoga Teacher Training program of Calgary and studied with Senior Iyengar teacher Margot Kitchen. Studying with other senior teachers: Marlene Mawhinney, Marlene Miller, Devi Desai, Jawahar Bangara, Eyal Shifroni, Lois Steinberg and Abhijata Iyengar, Jill holds a Level 1 certification and is honoured to share this path of health, wellness and spirituality with her students. https://www.sacrednorthyoga.com/private-coaching daily 0.75 2024-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f87b673daa8866a9cdaf0b/1629498297753-LOF3F214SQCVMIEZXWP0/IMG_3603.jpg Private Coaching - Your journey to holistic health + happiness starts here Life can be chaotic at times, and the journey through the stages of womanhood can sometimes present as an unpredictable path. Hormonal shifts, stressful events and the busyness of life can create feelings of overwhelm, fatigue or just a feeling of being stuck. My holistic approach to nurturing all ages and stages of the feminine life cycle is a heart centred, intuitive and personalized healing approach, drawing from my experience in social work, counselling, midwifery/doula support, Iyengar Yoga, reiki, breathwork, meditation, plant medicine, nutrition, nature therapy and the spiritual practices of my Celtic and Nordic ancestors. My own mothering journey has been my greatest teacher, and as an experienced mother of teens, and a homeschooling parent for ten years, I am able to offer practical guidance and heart centred wisdom for new and seasoned mamas alike.
