Her Hip Hop Healthy Heart for Children™ program focuses on educating the “Whole Child,” providing them with the tools to flourish both mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Jyl’s latest initiative, Clap4Health©, combines wellness, fitness, and mindfulness, while raising funds for schools, organizations, and corporations across the nation. Based on Acupressure Theory, the program highlights the benefits of clapping, which stimulates 340 known pressure points, 28 of which are located in the hands. Clap4Health© is designed to encourage physical activity and happiness, promoting the idea of creating “A Circle of Wellness that Works!”
