TESTIMONIALs

 
 

β€œI have been taking Iyengar yoga classes with Francesca for many years. She consistently brings a lightness and sense of humor to class which I greatly appreciate. Especially over these last two years, her zoom restorative classes have helped me immensely in managing both my physical and mental health. Francesca has an extremely comforting voice, and the poses she sequences are guaranteed to put me in a state of utter relaxation. She will always remembers your β€œproblem” areas, and takes great care to make her classes approachable and accessible to all. I am thankful for her teachings and highly recommend her classes.”

" Francesca's restorative class was simple and lovely. My body and mind easily melded into the quieting process she guided us through. I found myself very comforted and soothed. Thank you! "
