JILL BURTON
RYT Registered Yoga Teacher
Jill happened into her first yoga class at the suggestion of a friend, hoping it would bring stress relief from corporate life. “I was skeptical, never being an athletic person, thinking perhaps I was too old and stiff!” But what she found was that yoga is a very individual practice, and one that truly meets each person exactly where they are – in life, and in any physical state.
“I came to yoga on a whim, hoping that I could ‘endure’ a few classes.” What she found was that yoga unites the body, mind and spirit. “I soon realized that yoga is a beautiful practice that has allowed my faith to deepen, and has helped me lose weight and keep those pounds off – I love it!”
Jill is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). In addition to her 200 hour training certification achieved through YogaFaith, she also has training certifications in both Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga through the Yoga Center of Minneapolis. She is also certified in faith-integrated yoga through YogaDevotion.

Now a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance, I help foster an environment and atmosphere where other people can strengthen and develop their own personal relationship with Yoga.
My aim is to share creative and energetic flows that awaken the inner strength, calm and happiness that reside in all of us. I welcome all levels, and hope to make each students needs feel heard as I adapt each class to the energy in the room.
