Jill Ernst

At a young age Jill understood that movement was an important part of who she is. She practiced dance and gymnastics as a child and after college found yoga in 1998. In 2007, Jill attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and became a Holistic Health Counselor. In 2010, Jill saw an opportunity to find synergy between movement and nutrition and went on to complete her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Charles and Lisa Matkin of Matkin Yoga. After moving from NYC to Greenwich, CT, Jill found a home at Kaia Yoga and completed her 500hr Advanced Teacher Training there in 2012.  Jill is also trained in Prenatal Yoga through Kaia Yoga, Kids Yoga with Little Flower Yoga, and Restorative Training with Karen Safire of Receptive Nest.  Always a student, Jill's practice and teaching continues to evolve and has attended numerous trainings, workshops and retreats.

Jill aims to provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment to all her students of all levels and focuses deeply on connecting breath and movement.
