 About Us:
 
  Jill Harman CYT/RYT/CTMT: 

Jill Harman became interested in Yoga after being introduced to it by a friend. The practice went from "yeah yeah I am doing it"  to " OMG I'm doing it!"  Thai Massage began shortly after when after picking up her teachers book was enrolled
and attending Lotus Palm school of Thai Massage in Montreal three short weeks later. With humble beginnings on Lake Ave to "Good Karma Garage"
on Rewill Dr (all you garage junkies know Salutations to Blue Moon) and Yin Thai Yoga on Hadley Rd, landed in Roanoke where Yin Thai School of Nuad Borarn now resides in the beautiful village of Roanoke! Many hours and then years spent on the mat, studying with all different styles of teachers you can expect an eclectic mix when you attend one of Jill's classes.

                      As Jill will tell you "There is nothing romantic about starting a yoga practice." 
                   The first several weeks entail everything from shaking, sweating and crying
                   to the sweet sweet final relaxation of Savasana. (everyone's favorite asana)
                     No amount of explaining can prepare you for the shock of realizing how much
                     your arms weigh when you start a yoga practice. When a new student attends
                class, they can be sure to be encouraged and supported because Jill never
                 wants to forget what  "a beast" downward dog was and sometimes still is.
                     Come with a open heart and be prepared to be uplifted by the beautiful and challenging practice of yoga.

... My journey with yoga began in 1998 with a searching mind, an overtaxed and overweight body, and a spirit that was wanting more...  "When the student is ready,  the teacher will appear".   Out of the blue, yoga was introduced to me.  As soon as I saw one demonstration of a basic series of postures I was "hooked". Oh how I remember those early days, I could barely bend over. Touching my toes or the floor was much more than impossible !!!        

Years later I look back with wonder and amazement at the Mind/Body/Spirit change that has occurred for me. In my classes we will always remember those beginning days and use them as a foundation to build

I have a background as an electronic engineer, a computer scientist and a continuing student of philosophy, theology and physics. I encourage everyone to come to a class and see if yoga can fill some part of your journey through this life.
