By the grace, and with the blessing, of her teachers R. Sharath Jois, Frances Jones is an Authorized Level One Ashtanga teacher. Frances has had a daily practice for the past 24 years and has been teaching Ashtanga for the past 20 years. Seven trips to India have given her a solid grounding in the practice; on her last trip to India she was fortunate enough to assist Sharath in the Mysore shala. Frances believes in the transformative power of the Ashtanga practice for students of any age, who are working through any injury, at any and every level of mastery.
