About the tutor
Francesca Hendricks
To live a yogic life - emotionally, physically, intellectually, it's what we all strive for. I have been practising yoga for over 30 years. Yoga has been the grounding force throughout my life, growing up, studying, establishing a career and most importantly while bringing up my children, it sustained and helped me to stay focused and happy.Initially practising in the Iyengar tradition, I turned to Ashtanga yoga while seeking a stronger meditative, strengthening practice. I have studied with traditional masters in India, Sharath Jois in Mysore, and have completed a three year apprenticeship/teacher training at North Sydney Yoga, with Angelika Knoerzer. I continue to be inspired and taught by traditional teachers, Graeme and Leonie Northfield and Eileen Hall.Ongoing practice and study in Pranayama and Meditation as well as Yoga Anatomy and Physiology, the Sutras, Philosophy and understandings of the ancient traditions. I teach from a place of humility, tradition and non violence, helping others to gain strength and flexibility, while finding peace and calm in their daily lives.I currently teach classes at www.northsydneycentre.com.au www.pyrmontyoga.com.au, as well as private classes.
