About Yoga Sayulita

Daniel and Jill are the directors and permanent teachers at Om Yoga Sayulita.

Jill Sawchuk

The seed of yoga was planted at a young age for this bala yogi. Alongside her mom, at age five, Jill attended her first yoga classes with yoga pioneer, Gerda Krebbs. After completing her studies in education, Jill set off to learn more about yoga in its mother country, India.

Jill is grateful for the time and energy Swami Shyam Yogi invested during their private sessions and the way he opened her eyes to the traditional ways of teaching yoga.

She feels lucky to have completed her teacher training in the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in Neyyar Dam, India, and for the broad outlook of yoga they provide.

Her teaching style is a culmination of all the great teaching she has come in contact with, integrating all those tools that have helped her along the way- most importantly developing breath and body awareness as well as learning the art of relaxation.

She feels forever indebted to, and greatly impacted by S.N. Goenkaji, and the teachings of Vipassina meditation.

Daniel Gradilla

Travelling around India searching for himself, Daniel has had vast experience with teachers of all different styles and backgrounds. He has experience with Nada Yoga- the Yoga of music and sound-, as well as with Mantra. His approach in class is on letting go and fully experiencing the moment with the awareness of the body and the stillness of the mind. “ Life is full of magic but most of us don’t even realize this. Yoga is the key to realize that paradise is here now.

Certified by the Sivananda International Yoga Vedanta Center in Val Morin, Quebec, Canada. Daniel is also a Dj and music producer who has expanded Nada Yoga all the way into dancefloors around the world.
