Jill Abelson

Jill has been a devoted student of Jivamukti Yoga since 1999. She completed the 300-hour teacher training with Sharon Gannon and David Life in 2005, her 800-hour apprenticeship under Nicole Narayani Nichols at the New York City center in 2008 and her Advanced Certification in 2012. In addition to Jivamukti, she has completed teacher trainings with Shiva Rea in Prana Vinyasa, David Swenson in Ashtanga and Lex Gillan in Hatha Yoga. Her classes are fluid, powerful and heartfelt, drawing from her diverse background and love of music, movement and all things spiritual.

Alongside yoga, she’s an award-winning freelance writer specializing in the environment, climate change, healthcare and fin-tech. She lives in Marin with her husband, Jeff and their fluffy wonder cat, Mookie.
