FRANCE KNOWLTON

Yoga Instructor

My name is France Knowlton, and I have been a 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher since January 2022. Currently, I teach at a yoga studio in Canada. 

A Few Words About Me: I am happiest when enjoying various physical activities with friends and family, especially in the great outdoors. I discovered yoga about 15 years ago and quickly realized that being on my mat was where I felt the most passion and joy. This realization transformed my physical practice into something much deeper—a place where mind, body, and soul become balanced. I love practicing and leading yoga that emphasizes strength, balance, and flexibility. My flow classes often combine breath work, a slow warm-up, vinyasa flows, holding and balancing poses, and moments of stillness. In my yin or restorative classes, you will be invited to take time for yourself in a gentle, calm, and quiet environment. My goal is for my students to feel free to be themselves by listening to their minds and bodies every time they practice with me.
