VEDIC MEDITATION AND
WELLNESS EXPERT
Jillian has been teaching people to meditate since 2003. She co-founded London Meditation Centre and New York Meditation Center with her partner, Michael Miller, and is based in London. Through teaching Vedic Meditation, the world’s most ancient form of meditation, Jillian has helped thousands of people across the globe to transform their lives.
Originally from New Zealand, Jillian held senior business roles in Sydney, Paris and New York. During this demanding time leading global publishing companies, she learned Vedic Meditation. The improvements to her life were immediate. Her stress levels began to dissolve and the fatigue began to subside.
When work brought her to London, Jillian took some time to review where she was in her life. She left her CEO role, and headed for the US, and then to India, where she trained with her teacher, Vedic master Thom Knoles, Maharishi Vyasanand Saraswati, to become a meditation teacher.
Alongside teaching meditation, Jillian is also an expert in Ayurveda and consults on health, diet, sleep, fertility and lifestyle. She delivers this ancient knowledge in an accessible and practical way for modern life.

Interested in learning to meditate?
The next step is to sign up for a free Introductory Talk. An hour-long session where you’ll learn about Vedic Meditation, how it works and how it’s taught. From there, you can join the basic meditation course.
Get Started
I recently sat down with our @newyorkmeditation student, New York-based writer @ElenaBowes. We discussed why I wrote my book, “Why Meditate? Because it Works” and the most common #MeditationMyths that @miller_ji and I hear from those who want to learn. We also discussed how #VedicMeditation helps you stay youthful…

I loved speaking at @thedolectures this weekend in Cardigan.
Such an inspiring experience to be with so many curious and open people who are “doing” good in the world. #dowales2023

I’m always fascinated by how connections play out in life.
Sometimes those connections are shown to us in the moment: “I did this, and then that happened.”
Other times it’s years (or even decades) later when something clicks, and you can join the dots in a cool way.
My very first live concert was @eltonjohn in Christchurch, New Zealand. I was 17. A few days ago, we took Loie to see her first live concert – Elton John in Manchester. She’s 9.
Who knew we’d share that? When we booked our tickets to see Sir Elton, it wasn’t about making that connection deliberate. It was only something I realised afterwards.
And yet, connectivity is happening at all times. It’s a question of can you see it?
Fritjof Capra, in The Tao of Physics talks about how “Quantum theory reveals a basic oneness of the universe.”
So rather than seeing these moments as a mere coincidence, there’s more to it.
Nothing’s random. Everything, and everyone’s connected.

Hello sunshine!
In less than a week I’ll be leading a group of meditators on a very special retreat in Olhão, Portugal.
Profound rest, sun, sea air and delicious fresh food cooked by our private chefs @whisking.up.a.storm at the stunning top European retreat destination @casafuzetta.

After a big retreat weekend of sitting (lecturing and long train journeys), I was SO ready for Pilates this morning.
I love this stretch on the Wunda Chair - opening up and lengthening was exactly what I needed.
Thanks so much Ellie @pilateseducationandresearch 🙏

Really glad to share @miller_ji’s podcast, Speaking of Meditation, is back!
Michael’s first guest of season 3 is Jesse Peretz @jessepooljesse, an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, producer, and creator known for @netflix’s Glow, @hulu’s Shrill, and @hbo’s Girls.
His feature film Juliet, Naked, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018. And his latest TV show City on Fire, debuts on @appletv tomorrow!
Jesse shares stories about group meditations on the set of Girls, how his practice is fundamental to his career success, and why he thinks that "everyone should meditate... even if that`s a corny thing to say".
I loved this episode. Link in @londonmeditationcentre @newyorkmeditation bio to listen.

I’m excited to share the latest episode of @miller_ji`s podcast with you.
His guest this week is Lucy Beresford @thelucyberesford1, an award-winning author, psychotherapist, and TV and radio host.
Lucy is an expert on sex and relationships — her TEDx talk, "Infidelity: to stay or to go?" has been viewed over 2.5 million times. She`s often on TV and radio providing psychological insights on current affairs.
This is such an interesting conversation -
Lucy was convinced meditation "absolutely wasn`t for her". Then she learned, and found it provided the missing piece of understanding to her life.
Meditation has brought her clarity, spontaneity, and a willingness to let go of control in a way she didn`t think was possible.
