Francine is an internationally trained yoga instructor with a passion for deepening and sharing the practice of yoga. Her journey began in 2017 with a RYT200 certification from LifePower Yoga, just four years after she first fell in love with power vinyasa yoga. Driven by a desire to explore yoga’s depths, Francine has since accumulated 550 hours of formal training and obtained her RYT500 certification, after her completion of the 300 hour yoga mastery program through Happy Jack Yoga in 2025
Her yoga practice has been a sanctuary from a demanding corporate and family life, offering solace and a space to cultivate mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. Initially, her pursuit of yoga certification was meant to enrich her personal practice, but it quickly evolved into a mission to give back to the community that supported her through challenging times.
Francine's diverse training experiences include:
-

She delved deeply into pranayama, Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga, experiencing profound spiritual practices. Highlights included the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti puja, the vibrant festival of Holi, and powerful breathwork and sacred cacao ceremonies that deeply enriched her journey.

Urubamba, Peru: Completed a 100Hr Illumination Immersion, where she honed her leadership skills and deepened her connection with Pachamama amidst the Andes.
Francine's teaching style blends soothing yin practices with invigorating hatha and power vinyasa classes, emphasizing breath awareness, body alignment, and the mind-body-spirit connection. Her recent certifications include Anti-Gravity Fitness (CAGI, 2022), Usui Reiki Master Healer (2018), and Quantum Reflex Analysis (QRA) Practitioner (2018). Francine currently teaches yoga, meditation and Anti-Gravity Fitness and Anti-Gravity Restorative Yoga at Movati, Mississauga in Ontario, Canada.
Adopting yoga as a holistic lifestyle, Francine continually challenges herself on her personal health and wellness journey. Her greatest lessons are that “your pain is your purpose” and “through healing yourself, you heal the world.”
