Hatha Yoga Classes, Workshops, & Retreats by Fran Gallo

Simply put, I love yoga.  And I love teaching yoga! I’ve been teaching yoga in Seattle since 1996 and, every time I roll out my mat, the practice still feels like a new adventure.  I love teaching because it allows me to share this beautiful, transforming, and healing practice.  Whether in a class setting or on a retreat, together we enter the sacred space of pure awareness and goodness.  This empowering and peaceful experience is unlike any other, and from this practice grows a warm community of like-minded individuals living life to the fullest. 
Namaste, Fran
