	Transformation   …then I found my seat on my mat with you behind me and the transformation began. The sukasana massage melted away the day and I knew it was going to be okay. I felt guided in my practice and as if I was practicing with my eyes closed, not for lack of awareness but for a deep awareness within, eyes relaxed and calm, and a new awareness of my physical body in space. I focused on being a student of my own practice, if that makes any sense…..ie, sometimes in practice I try to remember teachings, poses, assists so I can repeat/adapt them for my students as well as deepen my own practice, but this class I was just in my own practice and reconnecting to me and my love of yoga. -  Mary An amazing teacher    Jill brings a special loving presence to her Wednesday night Jivamukti class at Flow Yoga Center.  The energy is palpable... and I feel an overwhelming unspoken support from the dedicated practitioners all around me.  One particular class focusing on lovingkindness drew me to express love and gratitude to my family right before the holidays.  A huge iceberg of stress and frustration melted into an overwhelming, all consuming tidal wave of love and light.  It demanded a huge release of emotions, and brought me to see them from a new place of true compassion and love.  This is what true yoga is all about.  I am grateful to Jill for being our teacher.   I just needed you to know you're an amazing teacher... keep being yourself.  I'll speak for the full class in saying..we love it :) - Suzanne Lucky to have found you Blessed Jill-ji, I just wanted to share something with you.  I came home tonight feeling so happy, for the first time in such a long time.  And I attribute some of that happiness to you (and the rest is probably the Italian romance!).  I adore you as a teacher, person, energy and love your spirt and every inch of you.  I am lucky to have found you.  And, I am sure that I am only one of many who feel this way.  You always bring a lot of joy to my heart even when it is heavy. - Shakti Walk the walk You happen to be an excellent teacher--full of insight, wisdom and compassion, with a genuine ability to create community.  Not to mention you walk the walk. - Danielle Incredible proponent of Jivamukti method Jill is really a very eloquent as well as incredible proponent of the Jivamukti Yoga Method.- Sharon Gannon I just saw December's Yoga Journal.... I am just amazed thinking about how many people will be inspired (as well as how many people you have already inspired) to be more green. It is so amazing how much one person can change the world just by recognizing that their life and their actions matter. - Teresa You are an amazing teacher and in my mind's eye, you have definitely stood out as one of our profound teachers.  - Tina At long last I am sitting to write some comments about the icp (in-class private) you gave me a few weeks ago. The experience was, start to finish, a revelation... inspiring on multiple levels, and really served to deepen my practice..... Your knowledge of technique, and how the body moves, and the firm security you present physically is assuring, instructive, and profoundly helpful.  from a physical standpoint my practice progressed by many degrees in one session with you.    Your spirit of encouragement, or "cheerleading" me on, was palpable throughout, and it helped fuel my determination to challenge myself and made the class a lot more fulfilling.  You balanced well placed words with a supportive energy which really worked for me...your ease and willingness... really sets a wonderful tone.   It energized me and gave me a sense of confidence. - Septime I found your patience, gentle encouragement and helpful corrections as completely marvelous..and am grateful for all your kind advice and instruction...it was a complete honor to have you work with me. Michael Thank you for all of your instruction and your beautiful example of what it means to be a yoga teacher. You have been my most influential teacher, and I have learned so much from you and have been so inspired by not just your teaching but your dedication to yoga and all beings everywhere and the world. - Teresa Your classes completely saved me this year.  I don't know what I would have done without you. - M. There are times in your class, when you are chanting so beautifully, talking or doing a reading that I am overwhelmed and the tears roll out of my eyes...I finally have begun to find some peace again...and I attribute that to you and the other wonderful teachers I am blessed to have found...You are a wonderful teacher and I love your classes and you.   - Shakti It’s the morning of my departure for (Jivamukti Teacher Training)…What a confluence of events to have brought me to this moment and I am so grateful.  You have been such an important part of this journey…Right before Flow’s teacher training, I was praying for a female spiritual role model.  I guess I was finally ready as a student because the “guru” appeared!  … You’ll be in my thoughts and heart…. Agatha Hope you had a wonderful visit to San Francisco…see you in class next week. I’m bringing a friend who is visiting, so she too can participate in the beautiful experience I had as part of your community.  - Michelle I saw you on the website for the Green Yoga Conference...You are Beautiful!   David and I are totally aligned with what the Green Yoga conference is doing.
