Jyll’s Zen Lounge is an online space to share insights, experiences, and strategies on how to create more balance, joy and calm in our lives.

Hi, my name is Jyll and I a have a diverse background.  I like to say, “I’m a Jyll of all trades.”  Lol.  Not even close.  My background does include a degree in accounting, over 20 years in corporate America as well as working in the spa industry for over a decade, which includes being a spa director, massage therapist and yoga instructor.  See, quite diverse!

During my years working in corporate america, and losing myself to the demands and deadlines in this world.  I have since created a very balanced lifestyle, and one that I am in love with.  I now watch too many of my friends feel stressed and out of balance.  I wanted to create a space where my creativity can flow and share ways to create a more balanced, happy, zen life.

What is Zen?  To me, it’s be able to live fully present in your moments without judgment.  It is finding what makes you happy; resonating in peace and joy.  A few examples of what zen is to me:

• Being on my yoga mat
• Sharing a bottle of wine with a dear friend and catching up.
• Exploring and traveling to new places with my husband and/or friends
• Cuddling with my husky love
• A completed task list
• Living each day within my ethics and morals
• Sharing my soul-shine with others

I intend to cover a wide range of topics in my blog including yoga, meditation, travel, wine, spa reviews and whatever else crosses my path or mind that makes me smile or creates a little more zen in my life.

A note on Spa Reviews:

My passion has always been for the spa industry.  My husband and I talk about sailing the world in retirement and I joke how he shall drop me off in the marinas and I will explore all the spas that town has to offer and I will write spa reviews.  However, since I now have this blog, why wait until retirement?  I will also use my blog to review all the spas I visit now!   I’m so excited!
