FRAN
Francesca remembers trying her first yoga class in her late teens and it didn’t resonate with her. It felt too spiritual, too fluffy and not something she needed in her life.
A few years later during a stressful period at work, plus an ongoing back issue; she gave it another shot and has never looked back.
During lockdown, yoga became a solace for Fran. It was a place she could go to where nothing else mattered, where nothing else needed to make sense and where nothing else was on her mind. Some days were to challenge the physical body, some days were to challenge the mind.
Fran completed her vinyasa/ashtanga yoga teacher training at SPACE yoga studio in Brighton in 2021 - a lockdown project with a studio she loves and trusts to support her through the journey.
Fran now teaches a number of her own classes and has recently moved to Shoreham, where she has plans to expand even further.
Fran's classes are dynamic and will challenge both the physical body and the mind. Incorporating pranayama and meditation, Fran believes in the eight limbed approach to yoga. Yoga is not just to be practiced on your mat, but within each and every moment of your life. Classes will often have a theme to tie everything together and allow you to get lost in the practice.
