Jillian & Julia
Namaste! My name is Jillian and I am teaming up with Julia Bell! We are both so honoured to guide you through this experience.
The two of us became friends as yoga students at the same studio and since then, we have both completed our yoga teacher trainings. Now that we are both yoga instructors, we've bonded and supported each other in our journeys and growth.
