About Jill

Jill's first introduction to yoga came as a nine-year-old walking in on her mother, Marge Boyer, in halasana or plow pose. (Jill is the fourth of five children.) Jill took her first Jivamukti yoga class in 1998 in New York while working as a personal trainer where her celebrity clients included Ed Bradley, Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Irving and Reese Witherspoon. From the start, Jill felt a strong connection to yoga.

Her training has been diverse: Yoga Zone in New York City and certified ISHTA (The Integrated Sciences of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda) Yoga under Alan Finger; prenatal yoga at Yoga Zone when she was pregnant with her second son; 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.

She came home to Hawaii in 2002 and continued her passion for learning.

She undertook a dedicated five-year Ashtanga practice. And she earned certification in Pilates in both mat and equipment with The PhysicalMind Institute.

She also studied Iyengar Yoga with Glenn Kawana at Silent Dance Center;

Jill was lucky enough to apprentice with Cathy Louise Broda at Purple Yoga in Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga.

She has practiced Jivamukti, Iyengar, Ashtanga and is now finding a new passion in Anusara with Skeeter Tichnor. Jill has connected with that feeling of inner light expressed through Anusara's yoga of the heart.

Jill offers an eclectic style combining a deep focus inward with a lightness of style. Her deep love of the nuances of yoga keeps her in a state of constant discovery. And her strong personal practice is reflected in her fresh and radiant style as she provides hands-on adjustments that are transformational.

Raised in Kailua as part of a surfing family, Jill watched her sister, Lynne compete before she traveled the world herself as a professional windsurfer. She then moved to New York to attend NYU's Tisch School for the Arts, where she received her BFA.

In Hawaii, she has taught at the Honolulu Club, Purple Yoga and On Balance studio.

She now teaches yoga at Aloha Yoga Kula as well as private and duet sessions at her own studio, Humu Yoga and Pilates.

Jill lives in Windward Oahu with her husband and their two sons.
