10:30 am – 11:45 pm | Gentle and Mindful Movement 
Frank Duke 

Frank Duke will teach a gentle and mindful movement sequence focusing on the continual celebration of life within the mind, the body, and the spirit!

I’m honored and blessed to be able to teach at Y.A.G.D.’s Spring yoga day. I am an E-RYT 200 instructor and have been teaching yoga for almost 12 years, along with Pilates and reformer classes for the past year. 

My yoga teaching style is a blend of vinyasa, yin, and restorative, focusing on the main foundations of the practice including breath, root lock muscular engagements, gazing points, and keeping a calm, balanced, equanimous mind. 

I truly believe our purpose in life is to experience joy and Yoga is the only practice that has ever surpassed my passion as a hairstylist of 40 years. I hope you enjoy a mindful sequence of movements that will elevate your mind, body, and spirit, creating a better version of your own self.
