Jillian Stella is a certified, trauma-sensitive yoga instructor and grief facilitator with offerings in North America, Puerto Rico, other parts of the world, and online. Her love for yoga grew while losing her Mom to cancer. It was a turning point in her young adult life and she fixated on her spirituality in order to navigate through the grief. Losing her mother was quite literally like losing a part of herself. The only way she could begin to identify as Jillian rather than Jillian, daughter of Elona, was through all the work she did on her mat. She found herself on her mat.

Today, she utilizes twenty-seven years of wisdom as a guiding healer in the yoga world. She is trauma-sensitive focused with deep knowledge in alignment and grief work. Her lineage of training stems from the late Maty Ezraty at Yoga Works and is a blend of Hatha and Iyengar. Jillian is RYT 200 Yoga Alliance Certified and plans to be reiki certified before the end of 2022.
