Fran will lead participants through long warm-ups and ask if specialattention is required for those who have certain physical issues.Postures will be introduced to strengthen the immune system andimprove back, neck and shoulder flexibility.
Some will work on building skills towards more advanced asanas
including inverted postures. Mastery if such poses is not required.Participants will practice in a non-competitive, explorativeenvironment.
The pace will be slow, calmer with long warm-ups and longershavasana.
Certification: Fran Gallo started practicing yoga as a means ofreleasing tension after long hours of working as an English Instructorat Green river Community College (Washington). Love of yoga madeFran decide to devote herself to learning this art in order to share itshealing effects with others.
In 1996, Fran studied intensively with and was certified under YogiVkashananda in Nepal. She has been teaching ever since. Accordingto Fran, the magic of yoga is in the discovery of being able to gobeyond what we perceive as our limits and in the profound sense ofpeace and balance one feels after just one session of practice.
