Jill Ippolito is the Founder, Executive Director, of UpRising Yoga, has been practicing and teaching yoga since 2006.
She is dedicated to bringing yoga to incarcerated youth and the communities they come from. Since 2011, UpRising has taught in juvenile detention facilities, group homes, schools and community centers.
Their work has been featured in LA Yoga magazine, the Huffington Post, PBS, LA County Channel and CNN. Jill believes that practicing yoga is something that can be done anywhere at any time. UpRising’s key principle can be summed up in the mantra that is shared in every class: “Yoga is a gift; no one can take it away from you.”
