Fran Gallo
Fran Gallo has worked with Spiritual India Journeys since 2009. Fran is a very experienced and well-qualified hatha yoga instructor and has studied at Ananda Yoga Centre in Nepal and furthered her studies at Ved Niketan Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh, India. For Fran, yoga's magic is in discovering how to go beyond what we perceive as our limits and in the profound sense of wholeness, peace, and balance one obtains from cultivating a yoga practice. Fran’s teaching accommodates multi-level groups, includes concise verbal cues and gentle adjustments, and goes well beyond the physical aspect of Hatha Yoga. Her classes are both fun (creative) and meditative, serious and light-hearted. Her international experience includes study at the Universite of Strasbourg, France, volunteering in the Peace Corps in Ziguinchor, Senegal in West Africa, and three years teaching in Japan where she met her husband, Rick Clark.
