Gillea (pronounced “Jilly”) graduated from the PURE Yoga Teacher Training Program in June 2011 and completed her Khalsa Way Pre-Natal Teacher Training in 2016. She began her yoga practice to complement ten years of vigorous contemporary dance training and performance. After finding acceptance and fortitude on the mat, she became a devoted yoga practitioner and, now, teacher. She is grateful for her awe-inspiring teachers in the Jivamukti and Kundalini traditions, and is honored to serve pregnant women before, during, and after the miracle of birth through yoga, meditation, and doula services.
Her classes include a playful blend of breath-based movement and introspective holds inspired by Vinyasa and Kundalini teachings, in addition to special accommodations for pregnant and post-partum students.
