Hi, my name is Frank and yoga for me is both a daily practice on the mat and a way of life from which to encounter the world. I love yoga because it integrates body, breath, mind and spirit and makes my whole being feel more alive. My practice on the mat is meditative and takes me to a deeper stillness than I can reach through sitting meditation alone.
I love sharing the richness of yoga with people because I see how it awakens and transforms all of us, motivating us to seek greater physical health and emotional wellness and deeper inner abiding.
I attempt to treat every challenging situation in life as an asana or yoga posture, realizing that it has something to teach me. I return to my breath to center me to accept what is unfolding in my awareness and to face it with a heart that is open and courageous, and a mind that is calm, balanced and focused in the present moment.
I love to teach yoga to new or hesitant yogis who initially think that yoga is beyond their ability. It is amazing to see their enthusiasm soar as they experience yoga postures that are accessible and enhancing. I believe yoga is one's birthright. It is a wonderful way to live a fully integrated life in our bodies with tranquil minds and joyful hearts.
I specialize in beginners' yoga, gentle restorative yoga, chair yoga, vinyassa yoga and yoga for men.
