Belly Dancing with Jill P.

I come from a clinical social work and psychology background and hold a master’s degree in social work, concentrating in child and adolescent mental health. During my study and work in the mental health field, I pursued my personal practice of yoga as a source of inner quiet, connection, and peace. Having experienced powerful benefits from yoga, I felt inspired to pursue yoga teacher training in order to share these positive experiences with others. I completed an in-depth two year teacher training program which prepared me to teach a vast array of students and gave me the knowledge necessary to accommodate for special needs and medical considerations. ​ I began teaching yoga in 2012. Since that time I have continued to study extensively and have instructed over 1,000 hours of classes and workshops. I specialize in teaching adaptive yoga for children with medical and special needs and gentle, mindful yoga for adults. ​ I have experience working with: ADHD Anxiety Autism Spectrum and Developmental Disabilities Cancer patients and survivors Cerebral Palsy Depression Emotional and behavioral challenges (children & teens) Joint pain / Arthritis Multiple Sclerosis Physical limitations / limited mobility Vocal Chord Dysfunction
