Jill Jerome
Jill has been a practitioner of yoga for over 12 years, teaching since 2009, and is co-owner of Yoga Loft Chicago. As CEO of a corporate recruiting firm, she desperately needed some balance in her life. A running injury and the advice of a close friend brought her to her first yoga class which happened to be an Ashtanga, 2 hour practice. She immediately gravitated towards the athleticism required, felt a sense of mental clarity and relaxation that lasted long after class...and has been a dedicated student ever since.
She is a Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher (E-RYT) and has received additional in depth training in the Full Primary Series of Ashtanga, Power Vinyasa Yoga, and Hatha. She teaches a powerful, athletic and vigorous flow as well as some open level classes inspired by the Ashtanga -Vinyasa system of Yoga. Expect to be challenged!
Jill does not believe there is only one approach to yoga; we are all different and will be touched by the amazing and life changing benefits when it is right time for each of us. As eternal students we are constantly adapting... but once we do find yoga it will likely become an integral part of our existence and overall well being.
Jill practices Mysore and meditation daily. Outside of the studio she spends as much time as possible experiencing life through the eyes and mind of her 9 year old daughter who is her ultimate teacher and inspiration!
