Working with Jill Frere
My private clients fall into 3 categories: Senior Plus, Family Yoga, and Personal Development. I can come to your home, or you can come to my home studio in South Knoxville.
​
SENIOR YOGA PLUS
Senior Yoga Plus clients get personalized therapeutic yoga, breathing and meditation. Many seniors need a little extra help around the house or just need a meal brought in. I decided to add an option for household services to my sessions, to further assist seniors with whatever they need.
As a certified Yoga Nidra teacher, I’ve noticed how yoga nidra and the practice of understanding ourselves beyond our physical bodies is very comforting to the aging population.
My 90 year old client experienced a total letting go and was infused with a feeling of bliss and calm. He remarked how much the sessions helped him embrace this time of life.
FAMILY YOGA
Family Yoga sessions are tailored to each family and creates a real bonding experience for everyone. I emphasize calm fun for kids and at the same time stretching and strengthening for adults. We also take a look at physical and stress patterns that family members have in common and take steps to address those patterns.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT YOGA
Personal Development Yoga is for the person who wants to start or deepen their home practice. We will use all the parts of yoga: poses, breathing, meditation and philosophy, to create a practice designed to bring health, harmony and balance. Please give me a call to schedule a free consultation.
I offer a sliding payment scale for those that need it.

BFA from New York University
Jill was born in Knoxville, TN. Her love of yoga first began in 2001 when she took some classes in college and read Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahamsa Yogananda. After graduating from New York University in 2004 with a BFA in dance performance, she started taking classes at Dharma Yoga Center in NYC, where yoga became not just something that she enjoys, but a life long path.
Jill in now an RYT E-500, and a Dharma Yoga Registered Teacher at the 1000 hour level. She lived in NYC for 10 years, where she loved creating and performing dances and studying and teaching yoga. When employed with Dances for a Variable Population, a company who’s members ages ranged from 22 to 92, she discovered her love of working with seniors.
In 2010, Jill moved back to Knoxville where she continues to share her passion at the Glowing Body, Lotus Light, and Strang Senior Center, as well as with Private Clients, Studio Arts for Dancers, and Go! Contemporary Dance Works. Jill is fervent about all aspects of yoga and weaves many different elements into each class, from breathing and meditation to the philosophy and physical practice of yoga. Jill is currently developing a moving meditative practice called Moving Ground.
Jill feels grateful to Dharma Mittra for transmitting the knowledge of Hatha Raja Yoga. “Be Receptive to the supreme teacher within!” – Dharma Mittra
