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.

LAURA BERG
RYT Registered Yoga Teacher
Laura Found yoga when she was trying to find herself. She started going to classes at a gym and then found a yin class at a small studio in Anoka. She really enjoyed yin yoga and the smaller class setting. She discovered Shanti Om a little after moving to Circle Pines with her family.
Laura's interest in yoga deepened especially after losing her father and having to overcome unexplained chronic vertigo. Yoga helped restore her emotional and physical balance. She discovered that she needed this continual practice in her life for overall wellbeing. She then decided to get her 200 (RYT) and took classes at Yess yoga in Minneapolis.
Laura's training consisted of Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, Yin and Restorative. Her primary style of yoga is a Slow Flow Asana. Her aim is to focus on mindful movements, breath awareness and to encourage a deeper connection with the body.

Erica Proper
Certified Sound Healing Practitioner
Erica is a certified Sound Healing Practitioner and is Reiki 1 and 2 attuned. After becoming attuned to Reiki and using it to begin her own healing transformation, she discovered Sound Bathing and was profoundly affected by sound’s ability to accelerate that process. Immediately, she was aware of how the instruments quieted her mind to bring her to a meditative state. But the real surprise came later when she felt overwhelming peace that lasted for days. Upon researching how this type of healing works, she discovered that certain frequencies of sound have the ability to move and transform energy within the body to heal on a cellular level. It was then that she knew she had found her calling and within months of experiencing her first live sound bath she had trained and acquired several sound healing instruments. Now she is able to share not only her Reiki healing but also group sound baths with others at Shanti Om, so they can experience the transformations she has realized herself through both of these amazing modalities.
