Frances was born in Virginia and moved to Colorado in 2017. She knew of yoga as a teenager, but only began practicing after experiencing the limitations of talk therapy and learning about yoga’s benefits for trauma recovery and post-traumatic growth. She completed her 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training at Soul Tree Yoga in Lafayette, Colorado. As a teacher, Frances emphasizes presence, non-judgment and choice. In her spare time, Frances enjoys sunrises, sipping matcha, cooking, reading (both fiction and non-fiction), trying new ice cream flavors, hiking and skiing.

Through his own practice, Stephen experienced yoga’s benefits for physical, mental, and emotional well-being, while also recognizing it as a universally accessible tool for healing, resilience, and self-regulation.

CATHERINE A.
Catherine's journey with yoga began in the late 1990s when she took a yoga class as a physical education credit in college. After that her practice lapsed and she didn't pick it up again until the early 2000s when she found herself in over her head with life and not enough self-care. Catherine sought out a local studio that was hosting a challenge with free classes for a month and this re-connected her to her practice. Since then she has found growth within her practice, balance with her life, tamed anxiety and heart space to share, teach and live more fully.
Catherine enjoys leading gentle HaTha yoga and making space for rest, silence and sometimes laughter.
