Fany Franco
When she started practicing yoga, she quickly fell in love with it. She began practicing various styles of yoga, which resonated with her at that time. She ended up loving gentle yoga and meditation, thanks to her lovely yoga teachers that shared the yoga philosophy with her. Yoga became a lifestyle for her —she says it is a part of her spiritual journey and medicine for her mind, body and soul.
In November of 2023, she completed her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, and continue studying and learning to improve her practice. Her intentions as a teacher are: to pass the love of yoga to others, create a safe space, keep learning, open her heart to love more and to show that same caring and love to her students, and to be a lifelong student of the practice.
She enjoys nature, love crystals, energy, and sharing her practice of yoga with others.
