After leaving behind a career in the New York fashion industry, Frank Ricci was ready to find inner peace. What began as a casual yoga practice quickly became his passion. As Frank found his own calming balance and soon realized the tremendous benefits of this age-old form of wellness, he also found his true career calling: to help heal others.
Frank received his yoga teaching certificate from The Yogasana Center of Yoga in Brooklyn, New York, where he began teaching in 2010. Since that time, he has received extensive training in Therapeutic yoga, including assisting Deborah Wolk. He studies regularly with his mentors and has had the pleasure and privilege of studying with Donald Moyer of The Yoga Room. In 2011, Frank’s quest for deeper professional training led him to India, where he completed a five-week course studying Iyengar Yoga from Rajiv and Swati Chanchani. Frank’s compassionate teaching style draws influence from Iyengar Yoga as well as modalities such as Alexander Technique, creating a unique experience for his students that is both encouraging and challenging.

Brette Popper believes yoga, like writing, is a process of self-inquiry. Her alignment-based NYC classes emphasize a combination of movement with a healthy dose of yoga philosophy and anatomy. For this special workshop Popper, an E-RYT-500, will focus on fundamental postures that allow students to work deeply through layers of awareness towards relaxation, mental openness and creative freedom.
Cynthia Kling works primarily with students who have difficulties facing the frightening white page and helping them discover the forces within that give them the courage to write. She has recently become interested in animal medicine – specifically spirit animals – and will use this Native American tradition to introduce students to their own creatures as they make their springtime reappearance.
