jylani ma'at

jylani has trained and facilitated many people in the practices of meditation, mindfulness, movement, and integrative nutrition in schools, studios, and communities around the world. As both a teacher and nurse, she enjoys learning healing practices from indigenous cultures. Her Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with Tracee Stanley and Chanti Tocoronte-Perez, has been the deepest and most embodied experience of her life. She facilitates meditation and yoga nidra to guide people back to themselves.

As one born into a family of educators and medical practitioners, jylani ma’at’s background as both a teacher and a nurse came as no surprise. She inherited a legacy of traditional and alternative healing practices. Since a very young age, jylani ma’at has been engaged in meditation, holistic wellness and embodied awareness practices. As a teenager, she found herself making deep spiritual connections in nature and with stillness. She has continued along this path ever since. When jylani became a mother, she realized just how important it was to be disciplined about her daily practice in order to stay balanced and healthy. She has an affinity for guiding people toward wellness modalities that connect with and through the body using all of their senses. jylani ma’at believes taking deliberate moments needs to feel authentic and comfortable so that people may practice regularly and live a life of greater ease.

May you experience deep well-being in your body.
May you live in full joy and connection to the Earth.
May you be liberated and safe in this and all moments.
And, 
May you be wise and wealthy.
