About Francesca Golfetto

Hey! I am Francesca Golfetto, professional ballet dancer, certified yoga instructor and mum of 2. My interest towards yoga started as a hobby, to keep my body healthy while releasing physical and mental tensions created from the strenuous ballet regime.

However, it was through injury that yoga became my healing resource and my passion. Yoga has quickly given me many new dimensions to the already extensive experience with physical and mental exercises. I truly love sharing my experience and knowledge while remaining a student in my quest for new knowledge.

My style is based on fluidity of movements, using a combination of active flexibility and mobility to create strength without building tension. My classes are recognized for a high level of energy, a bit of laughter and a wide range of natural sequences aiming to benefit body and mind for all levels.

I teach daily classes in Oslo, online with @naardic and my own platform as well as international yoga organised events. On IG I am @francescagolfetto - www.francescagolfetto.com

11:00 - 13:00 Mid morning Back Bend Workshop
In this workshop we will look briefly at the anatomy involved in back bending which will include more than just the spine! We will go through a few "drills" to open the front of the body, strengthen the back and loosen shoulders and chest area. We will work with muscularly focused back bending such as salabasana (locust) and ustrasana (camel), and leveraged back bends such as dhanurasana (bow) and urdhva dhanurasana (bridge) . You should feel energized, tired and glowing after a class... and the long term benefit will be stronger core muscles, a more open back and chest and hopefully excitement for the next class
