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.
