We can't wait to welcome the amazing Rebecca Hannah back to yogahub for her Art of Flex-ability 18hr Training this September!
I was introduced to yoga through physical theatre and performance. As a performer I was initially attracted to the physical side of yoga and how it could be used as a tool for creative expression. After my 200hr YTT in hatha followed by an additional 200 hours in ashtanga, I discovered a passion for creativity in different styles of movement disciplines. This interest was channelled into further trainings, including 200 hours of Yogic Arts with Duncan Wong (a fusion of martial arts, Thai massage and yoga), 50 hours Tripsichore Yoga Choreography, calisthenics, and circus arts.
I have taught workshops, retreats and teacher trainings in over 20 different countries across four continents. This includes my signature training ‘The Art of Flex-ability’ which combines drills, assists, and transitions inspired by yoga, contortion, dance and Thai massage.
My intention as a teacher is to help students discover presence through play, teaching sequences that are fun, innovative, creative and smart. I have a strong focus on developing the strength to safely support flexibility, while using movement as a tool for mindfulness, communication, creativity and self-expression.
My name is Francesca ("Chicca"), I am a professional ballet dancer, certified yoga instructor and a mother of two.
Some years back, I graduated from both Milan and Royal Ballet School in London. From the age of 17, I danced full time at Royal Ballet (London), Zurich Opera House and Den Norske Opera & Ballett and throughout my career I enjoyed the chance to perform on stages all around the world.
My interest toward yoga started in 2007, as a hobby, to keep my body healthy and to release physical and mental tensions created from the strenuous ballet regime. It was through an injury that yoga became my healing resource and my passion.
I completed the Ashtanga 500hr RYT TT, 100hr RYT TT Vinyasa, 80hrs Dharma yoga wheel TT and 100hrs Pregnancy Yoga RYT TT. In 2017 I received an official authorization to teach the Primary and Intermediate series of Ashtanga yoga from Manju Jois.
I have taught sevaral Teacher Trainings and Yoga retreats.
Yoga has quickly given me many new dimensions to the already extensive experience with physical and mental exercises. Practicing and teaching yoga has been a life changer for me and become my lifestyle.
My passion is sharing my experience and knowledge, as well as continuously learning more. I love bringing the balance of discipline and positive energy to students and colleagues in the yoga community
