Liz started practicing yoga during graduate school in 1999, to balance mind and body. She trained with Subtle Yoga, in Asheville, NC, with a public health focus, obtaining both 200 and 500 certifications. Liz also holds a 100 hour therapeutic yoga certification from Phoenix Rising.
From 2011 forward, Liz has taught in Savannah with a wide diversity of clientele. She believes yoga is an awareness practice, and that awareness of our breath and our movement together is a powerful tool for vibrant longevity.

In February 2012, after successfully undergoing breast cancer treatment, Franessa began attending a Yoga for Cancer Survivors class two day a week. At that time, yoga helped her physically work her body and gently work her mind. Now, as when she began, yoga provides her with approximate 3,600 seconds (that’s 60 minutes) in which to breath, and breath more, to be in the moment, have faith and not be too hard on herself.
Franessa graduated from Spry Mind+Body Teacher Training in 2018. She has a Masters Degree in Leisure Studies from Arizona State University, and is retired from a professional career in municipal parks and recreation working in Illinois, Arizona and Georgia.
What our students are saying:
“Franessa always shows she is confident in her abilities and has fun teaching…it shows throughout.” - Cherie T
“Love Franessa’s classes. She is always so positive and upbeat.” - Paula D
