Episode 95: Uprising Yoga
Episode 95
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
Join this week’s conversation between Charity Matters founder, Heidi Johnson, and founder of Uprising Yoga, Jill Weiss Ippolito. Jill’s journey is a full-circle story; From an angry, hurting teenager to a joyful healer bringing trauma-informed yoga and life skills to youth in juvenile halls. She discovered a gift that first saved her own life: breath, presence, and the slow, steady return to self. And then she did the most beautiful thing....she gave that gift away, again and again, to kids who need it most. Listen to learn how a $10, ten-day yoga pass became a mission, how community shows up when we “look for the helpers,” and how gifts once found, can change the world.
