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.
