Mind/Body Action: Working with Those with Chronic Pain and Illness:

Jill Satterfield, founder of VY&M and SATT

Jill Satterfield has been practicing yoga for 30 years and teaching for 20. She has been a Buddhist practioner for 20 years, and was one of the first teachers to blend yoga and Buddhism. VY&M organically arose from Jill's resolve to heal herself after 12 years of chronic dibilitating pain, countless exploratory surgeries, 2 major surgeries and a trip to Yale Pain Clinic with devestating results.

Through the study of asanas and their physiological aspects, the study of the mind and it's impact on the body, nutrition, acuptuncture and dogged persistence, Jill healed herself beyond any physican's expectations. She has been working with people with chronic pain and illnesses for 20 years.

This track is a very special mentorship opportunity with Jill. Contact her if interested.
