When it comes to yoga and meditation, I've found that many teachers either teach by the book, which can feel overly traditional and unrelatable, or sort of make up their own "method," which feels ingenuine and caught in the ego. What makes Hilary unique as a teacher and as an educator is her unique ability to deeply feel, sense, and honor the depth of Yoga Nidra's lineage while also finding moments to zest in modernity.

This special gift is so unique and hard to come by - and something that as a yoga and meditation teacher myself strive to create within my space for my students. She also makes everyone feel super comfortable and creates a space of humor and curiosity, both in her classes and in the Teacher Training, that oftentimes is lacking in these yoga/meditation spaces.

Simply put, it's such a joy to practice and learn from her! She is one of the most joyful and funny teachers I've come across, and who doesn't want to soak that up?
