Jillian Jacklin’s fascination with yoga began with an at home practice in 1998.  After taking her first group session in 2006, her passion for yoga “sifted and winnowed” its way through classes with amazing practitioners all around the Madison community.  

 

Since graduating from the 200-hour Alignment Yoga Advanced Studies Program in December 2012, Jillian continues to learn from Scott Anderson, as she works on her 500-hour certification.  

 

Also a PhD candidate in the Department of History at UW-Madison, the intellectual trajectory of the Alignment philosophy has allowed Jillian the opportunity to fuse her interest in yoga with her academic pursuits. She encourages her students to consider the revolutionary potential of yoga, in its ability to promote community building and solidarity through healing and empowering its diverse practitioners to develop strategies for cultivating healthy relationships through collective breath and movement.
