Yogi Spotlight: Jill Knouse

This month for our Yogi Spotlight we are featuring Jill Knouse.

Jill’s kindness and energy is infectious.

We knew she’d be a perfect pick for our Yogi Spotlight!

Jill is a yoga instructor at YogaPearl and other studios in the Portland Metro Area.

She also leads trainings for current and aspiring yoga instructors through her company Elevate Yoga Trainings, and yoga retreats around the world.

We managed to catch Jill in between a Yoga Conference in Seattle and a retreat she was leading in Nicaragua.

We sat down for an interview and had her tell us how she came to yoga and what maintains her practice.

 

Jill’s style is full of super soft and flattering solid pieces mixed with pops of subtle pattern and fun sayings. Her favorite pieces to practice in are unique printed leggings with a yoga bra and flowy tee over a sports bra.

Comfiest sweat pants ever

I love the varley double soft fabric. I really like the color of these sweatpants and was excited to find a good deal on Evolve for this brand. They are cuffed at the ankle which could annoy someone that doesn’t like that feel. True to size- I am normally a size 6-8 and ordered these in medium. Definitely recommend!

Great for hot yoga or any work out

Long enough for me to cover up but show what I want to and able to be tied in back at any length.
Very pleased and made in USA!
Would definitely buy again.

I love these pants. They are so comfortable and they fit so nice. I would love to get them in different colors.

FP Kyoto Forever

I have acquired a few of these Kyoto leggings after initially purchasing the black in Small. Although they were somewhat hard to pull on at first - even a little long - I would order the same size since mine have softened over the years and become more pliable. For some reason, in the other colors, they have not fit as well or the quality has not been up to par.

So I am hoping after many years to find my new Black Kyoto's to be as great as the ones that I am still wearing. It's always good to have two pairs of your favorite tights around. Amazing for daily use in California all. year. around. For the records, I am 90 yrs. old, formerly athletic. 115-120 lbs. Off and on stage actor and still. FP was and still is my style!

New favorite leggings

These are so stretchy yet supportive and true to size. I love the pop of color from the piping/seams and it's slimming for the legs. Ordering, shipping and customer service get 5 stars too! Thank you!
