About Jill Thiry:

Jill Thiry is a lifelong “student of change.” Her first job was teaching aerobic dance and swimming for the YWCA in Madison, Wisconsin, which was followed by teaching kayaking and skiing in the Alps . After completing her MBA, she enjoyed a decades-long run in high-tech publishing, creating and managing many brands in the Bay Area and New York. During a transformative week-long stay at Rancho La Puerta, post 911, Jill discovered the importance of mindful practice in her life.  She started creating easily identified tasks for her family to ensure desired changes, which eventually evolved into an 8-step process for and with friends. The effectiveness of the program became clearly evident with zoom sessions during the pandemic and led her to create Club Change, where participants support each other in making the necessary choices to enhance their bodies, minds, spirits, and communities.  When Jill is not leading Club Change Zoom events, she guides guests at Rancho La Puerta through the docent program and teaches chant, swimming, hiking pole use, and intention setting and practicing.
