Me and Tess Talking About Our Upcoming Retreat in Northumberland, see link below to book
Hello
Today I thought I’d do a bit of an introduction post about me, as I’ve got lots of new starters in classes, and new subscribers (hello, and welcome).
And, it’s the 1st of March – the first day of meteorological spring (hence the photo of summer on the horizon).
I’m Jill, and I’ve been teaching fitness for 25 years this month!
Say whaaaat, where has all the time gone? When I first qualified we had to wear those thong leotards – you know the ones that were all the rage in the Jane Fonda days. Yes, for our exam we had to wear one of those or we’d fail!!
Oh, how times have changed – can you imagine wearing one now?!?
Anyhow, on and off, for many years I’ve taught fitness.
Then I got a Corporate job and worked as a Government statistician (can’t even spell it now) for 15 years. My degree is in Business and Finance – believe it or not!
From being very young, I was always thought of as a bit weird, I could read Tarot cards from around the age of 10, I used to read my teachers cards at school. My mam thought I’d been delivered by aliens 🙂 – maybe she was right!
Anyway, I thought everyone could see spirits, hear them and connect with an entirely different world other than the one that we live in 3D. It was only when I went out into the wider world that I realised that folks couldn’t.
So, I switched it all off, I kept reading Tarot right through university, but once I got the Corporate job and fell into the rat race, all of the other world stuff got switched off. It used to hit me every now and then, especially through dreams, and a deep sense of ‘knowing’ what was really wrong with someone when they came through my studio doors with an injury.
Long story short, my mam died of cancer, I started to hate my job and the universe was nudging me big time to leave, and follow my heart.
8 years ago I quit the corporate job and started teaching Pilates full time. I’ve then since qualified in loads of other modalities including Breathwork, which has been the most transformational for me. It’s opened up a whole new world of 5D!
I now spend my days embracing my natural ‘wyrdness’ ( I use this spelling as it’s not weird being wyrd – ‘wyrd’ is the orginal anglo-saxon word and it means fulfilling your personal destiny). And, I fully embrace the whole body – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
I’m totally free spirited – if it’s not giving me good vibes then I don’t do it. I quit drinking alcohol for that reason! I’m obsessed with health and mindset around it.
I’m pleased that you found me, and that you’re signed up to my newsletter, I hope that in some way I inspire you to be free and follow your heart.
You only get one life to live, so go follow those dreams… you never know where they might lead!
