Loving Kindness is a well-researched approach to meditation. Numerous studies have shown that even a simple practice like this one can reduce depressive symptoms and increase feelings of self-acceptance. It also shares the love in the world.

Welcome to Jill's Story. We know you're going to love this one as she shares from the heart what brought her to yoga and her journey to becoming a teacher.

We especially love her insights into hating something the first time but keeping on trying. And the result of feeling present and safe.

Thank you Jill for sharing!
