Jeanmarie Paolillo, author of The Vibe-A-Thon, is a certified professional coach and yoga teacher trainer. She leads trainings and workshops on the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga; how the mind works; meditation and mindfulness, and the energetic body internationally.

The fundamental purpose of this work for Jeanmarie is learning to be present in the moment. She lives in the passionate belief that all things in life are possible and that manifestation requires an understanding that everything is the culmination of our thoughts. The journey of presence leads the practitioner to a place of awareness regarding the life they are creating so they can consciously create their lives – as evidenced by her own leap from the corporate world after 20 years and her relocation to Southwest Virginia. She is known for her compassion, practicality, clarity, insight and sense of humor. Through this combination, Jeanmarie facilitates others on their path while receiving lessons from those she works with.

Jeanmarie has been featured in Natural Health Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Yoga Journal and has appeared on Weddings.com and the CBS Morning Show.
