We are honored to welcome mind-body instructor Jillian Szafranski as our guest lead for this Wellness Circle.

Jillian will lead a trauma-informed, gentle yoga/stretch/somatic session with simple education about the nervous system during times of transition/stress, with the option of hands-on bodywork from the instructor. 

About Jillian: 

Jillian is an LA-based mind-body instructor who offers corporate wellness, yoga therapy for those in recovery, energetic massage, and annual transformational yoga & wellness retreats. Her training is rooted in Alexander and Linklater techniques, which she learned while attending Emerson College in Boston. Drawing inspiration from the ever-developing field of neuroscience, Jillian uses her knowledge of anatomy and somatic integration (a therapeutic technique that combines the mental, emotional, and spiritual to the physical body) to craft a proprietary hands-on approach to yoga that is informed by her own experiences with physical trauma and illness to practice trauma-informed yoga therapy for those in recovery. Jillian created the Yoga Therapy Program for Reasons Eating Disorder Centers as well as the Office Yoga Programs for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority and NPR (National Public Radio.) Her strong belief that Wellness Programs should not discriminate against those who have varying degrees of physical abilities, inspired her to developed an all-inclusive Wellness Program for JLL & Mercury Insurance called the 15-Minute Reboot. Jillian works privately as a yoga therapist and bodyworker. She is Yoga Alliance certified.
