Fran Archer is a Senior Hatha Yoga Teacher(YTAA member) with over 20 years experience in this field.
She offers remedial to advanced classes informed by the self corrective
processes of the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method and
Ortho-bionomy. What is different about somatic yoga is the focus on
body awareness, the gentle pace giving time for integration and the
collaborative spirit of the group.
Firstly, great care is taken in training students to recognize and work
within their own comfortable limits rather than pushing themselves.
The class is structured to encourage release of tension first so that
students move into stronger asanas with freedom and ease. In a friendly
and safe environment, self awareness, awareness of others and self
expression are encouraged.
Self awareness: - focusing on self-care through breath,movement and stillness arising from within.
Awareness of others: - cultivating tolerance, care and support of
others. Feeling calm and settled within changes our perception of
those around us.
Self expression: - seamlessly moving between the inner and outer spaces, feeling the emergent mutuality.
As students progress, the sequence of the class is determined by individual and group needs as they arise,
respectfully co-creating a dynamic equilibrium.

"Fran draws out the free spirit in everyone,encouraging peer to peer interaction. It's so empowering when you have an issue and you know what to do to attend to your own needs. And it's so exciting when you can help someone else too!" Mary Bordi Taringa, Brisbane. Regular retreat and class attendant.
"The experience I have participating in Fran's yoga groups and classes is one of respectful connectivity and
spaceousness for ones inner feelings to arise. A quiet, gentle
approach. Valuing the inner space and giving primacy to that." Clare
Russell. Artist Maleny Qld.
