francesco gioeli

yoga teacher

Francesco considers himself a lifelong student of the ever expanding knowledge of Yoga in the modern day. First introduced to the multifaceted benefits of the practice in high school through intensive classes consisting of slowing down, mindfulness, and deep awareness of the mind-body connection, Francesco immediately noticed immense benefits starting from his first ever class that garnered an unyielding thirst for knowledge on how to truly embody this feeling of being his best self. As a competitive sports athlete through college and presently in martial arts, Francesco is a serious advocate for internal health and wellness that then reflects into a brighter external world. 

Yoga continued to be a beacon of light for him that shined even brighter when he found his teacher, Ambika Daniella Coutreau, in Los Gatos, CA at Breathe Yoga. He underwent a world class RYT-200 hour teacher training that consisted of asana, meditation, ayurveda, philosophy, breathwork, anatomy, subtle body energy, and astrology study in 2015. Since then he has relentlessly developed and adapted his learnings of the 8 limbs of Yoga with his students. 

Francesco spent a life changing 6 months in Australia during 2018 teaching at a global yoga retreat center. He has spent time in California, New York, and San Diego fully understanding his students' needs and focuses on making programs designed to be progressive and adaptable. His true focus on internal transformation and intentional awareness facilitates long-term perception overhauls that allow his students to reach their highest human potential. A significant constant in his classes is the action of dropping into the human heartspace, a purposeful technique rooted in the Anusara lineage of Alignment-Based Hatha. His full-hearted, joyful, fun spirit comes through his instruction and leaves you feeling light, free, gracious, and peaceful. Join him in smiles while you stretch and strengthen your mind and body.
