Zoom in to find me! Looking back through my trip pictures makes me long for the freedom of the road. This picture is at the top of Cathedral Rock in Sedona one month ago. Life goes by so fast, it already feels like months ago that I was standing there. The sheer power of that mountain and the energy just surged through my soul and body. I’m trying to get all my tools in my toolbox so one day I’ll be free to travel and teach and do my Health Coach business from spectacular places like this. At times it seems like just a dream. But honestly, I’m not much of a dreamer without the follow through. I know it will happen. It’s just timing and patience. One way I know will help perpetuate this into reality is through my practice. I’m sure you have dreams you want to manifest to happen, right? Name them in the comments!! • • In the meantime, tomorrow I’m teaching an especially powerful Kundalini Kriya at 7:30-8:45 am at West Asheville Yoga. Sliding scale $8-$15. This set is to help manifest opportunities and abundance and to bring prosperity into your life- in whatever way that looks for you. Curious? Come check it out and experience it for yourself! • • #jillphoenixyoga #westashevilleyoga #westasheville #avlyoga #ashevillekundaliniyoga #ashevillenc #yogainnature🌏 #yogainasheville #828isgreat

As part of our “Healthy Minds and Bodies” workshop, the 7th and 8th graders learned about the physical and mental benefits of yoga with @jillphoenixyoga. There was a lot more laughing than your typical yoga class! 🥰 Big thanks to Jill Phoenix for taking on this challenge! • • • Thank you @newclassicalacademy for inviting me to come teach 7th and 8th graders yoga! I have to admit, I’ve never really taught kids yoga before with the exception of one or two in the past. I thought I was losing these guys with the brief intro and history and benefits of yoga. What better way to learn about your body, breath, and the connection with the mind, body, and spirit than to just do it? These kids had me laughing so hard at times with the grunts, groans, and “this is hard” comments. I was definitely taking it easy on them, by the way! Hilarious! But, they all did it and really went for it. If they rolled their eyes at me, I didn’t see it! I asked at the end if anyone just really hated the practice.. and no one said yes! I heard they liked it and it was really fun. Success! • • • #jillphoenixyoga#newclassicalacademy#avlyoga#asheville#yogaisfun#westasheville#ashevilleyogateacher

The LEAF Festival is right around the corner! This has been my favorite Music and Arts Festival for many years and this fall festival is already my favorite one! For selfish or Self-FULL reasons, actually. I am honored to be teaching Kundalini on Saturday amongst some of Asheville’s best teachers. I am truly humbled and wicked excited at the same time! Also very exciting is that my love is ALSO presenting on Sunday. Kevin will be sharing lots of info on the amazing healing qualities of Medicinal Mushrooms. (No- not those mushrooms. Trust me.. the joke gets old after many years of hearing it!) Chaga, Reishi, Lions Mane, and Turkey Tail mushrooms amongst others, are some of the most powerful and healing superfoods on the Earth. We are so grateful for LEAF for allowing us to be a part of this festival and for letting us share our passions with others. Who’s coming? Let me know and let’s at least hang out and hug and dance a bit! • .• • #jillphoenixyoga #kevs1813#blueridgechagaconnection #blackmountainnc #leaffestival #iloveleaf #kundaliniasheville #ashevillekundaliniyoga #ashevillekundalini #avlyoga #mushroomsasheville#medicinalmushroom #chagamushroom #leafasheville

After taking September off to travel, my Thursday am class is back at West Asheville Yoga! The time has shifted to 7:30-8:45 AM and it’s sliding scale of $8-$15. This week I’m teaching a Kriya to help bring balance and help ease the transition from late Summer to Autumn and the Vata Season. .. at least we’re supposed to be transitioning to Autumn! Hard to tell with these hot days that are sticking around! 🌞😳❤️#jillphoenixyoga #westashevilleyoga #westasheville #asheville #avlyoga #828isgreat #ashevillenc #ashevillekundaliniyoga #kundaliniasheville #kundaliniashevilleyoga

Happy Sunday! Beautiful sisters of Asheville and the surrounding areas, I’m so excited to be home and have the honor and pleasure of teaching a Women’s Kundalini class today- stepping in to sub for one of my teachers- at West Asheville Yoga from 4-5:30. This sweet space is the perfect container to practice together, and it’s affordable at a sliding rate of $8-$15. Even though it very much still feels like Summer, the transition to Fall is here, and now is the perfect time to prepare the body, mind, spirit, and nervous system for this transition to shorter days, cooler temperatures, and the threats of illness that sneak into our bodies when the weather becomes colder. I will be sharing a practice today to help the beginnings of this transition. I would love to support you and have you support yourself and others. Sat Nam. #jillphoenixyoga #avlyoga #westashevilleyoga #westasheville #ashevillekundaliniyoga #ashevillekundalini #828isgreat #ashevillelocal #yogainasheville #yogainashevillenc #ashevillehappenings #ashevilleyoga #exploreasheville #ashevillelife #ashevilleevents #ashevillefitness #ashevilleadventures #ashevillebound

This red and teary, no make up or filtered face is a face of pure relief and those tears are of pure joy. This morning I had a second mammogram on my right breast, as a suspicious lump was detected a few weeks ago. Five minutes after the mammogram while sitting in a “special” waiting room as I waited for the dr to review the pictures, the technician came out and told me I would also need an ultrasound as she patted my arm and said “I’m sorry”. My throat immediately closed up and my eyes welled with tears. My heart began beating faster and my armpits drenched with sweat. I have dreaded these words not only for the last few weeks while traveling, but for over the 25 years since my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was all those years ago that she disclosed to me that not only did she have cancer, but her sister, mother, and grandmother all had had it too. It was then I changed my eating and exercise habits and began my health journey and dedication to fully pampering my temple with organic and clean foods, no soy, dairy, gluten etc and started studying natural health. I walked into the ultrasound room and saw the images on the monitor with a quarter size white blob circled on my breast. I immediately felt flushed and my knees got weak. I laid down and the technician proceeded to do the ultrasound. My heart was literally a mile a minute. I then waited for the dr to evaluate, and about ten minutes later she came in and did a second ultrasound. While waiting to hear what she wanted to do next, I went into my internal dialogue of what I would do treatment wise if the words were what I feared they would be. I’ve always thought I would never do chemo or radiation, but at this point I wasn’t sure. Would I? I’m ALREADY doing everything else nutrition and supplement wise. What else could there be? I actually had a moment where I pictured myself injecting shots of super green juice right into my boob😜🤪 as my mind took me on a panicky journey, she stopped and put the wand down and said, “yeah, you’re fine. It just dense breast tissue.” Oh. My. God! I immediately started bawling. Like snot out of the nose bawling. Days,weeks, and years of dread for this(read below)
