Wonderful 4th of July Celebration with dear friends in Mazama, Washington.
As we celebrate, I ask myself: What is the best part of being American? (The long list boiled down)
•The US Constitution
•Our protected national and state parks & forests, the varied landscapes, and gorgeous natural settings
•Freedom to create my life in my own unique way, in my own image. ❤️

Cedar Creek Hike with Rick, Kathryn, and Ben. Enjoying our weekend here. We are in Mazama, WA celebrating the 4th of July.

Yes to Yoga in the Park this evening (soon) from 6-7pm at Green Lake, Seattle, near the Seattke Public Theater.

While most of the country is experiencing heat, our Pacific Northwest cool temps are a welcome refuge. Come join me if you live in the area.
Every Tuesday to the end of August, 6-7pm. https://yogabyfrangallo.punchpass.com/classes/18925878

Brenda’s Flower Ministry

I am so lucky to regularly receive bouquets of flowers from Brenda's garden in Wallingford. Her flowers grace my yoga studio! Brenda's garden starts producing early in the year and her flowers, especially the dahlias and hydrangeas, keep blooming into late fall! She has a talent in flower arranging and the bouquets are so attractive! It is no secret that Brenda has a green thumb....

Simone brought me this sweet miniature bouquet today from her garden. I placed them in the antique cobalt blue inkwell that my cousin John Gallo from Massachusetts gifted me. Perfect! Anne Gallo Christine

Simone’s Green Thumb

I don't even know where to begin when I pay homage to my friend Simone! Simone just turned 80 years young! I put together a slide show that shows off her garden and gardening skills. She definitely has a green thumb and occasionally calls me to say, "Want to come over and see my garden?" She is an ace at making refreshing summer drinks with lime or hibiscus that quench one's thirst....

The art of rest.

In a world that keeps asking us to do more, move faster, go further…
what does it mean to truly rest?

In May 2026, I'll be teaching a 50-Hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Dionne Durán — a true collaboration, where our teachings, experience, and perspectives come together in one shared space.

Restorative yoga is not about stretching.
Not about achieving.
Not about pushing.

It’s about opening.
About allowing.
About landing in deep rest.

It’s remembering that rest is not something you earn —
it’s something that is already part of you.

This training is a one-time, unique offering.
A collaboration that will not be repeated in this form — a rare opportunity to study with both of us, together, in person.

Over these weeks, we’ll explore:
– the nervous system & the relaxation response
– the subtle power of breath
– the intelligent use of props
– how to truly support different bodies
– and the art of guiding someone into rest

Not just in theory — but through direct experience.

You’ll receive.
You’ll give.
You’ll refine your voice, your presence, your way of teaching.

And somewhere along the way…
you might meet a quieter part of yourself too.

Starts Friday, May 1, 2026
Where: Yoga by Fran Gallo Studio 6869 Woodlawn Ave NE, Suite 100, Seattle (Green Lake neighborhood)

If you feel called to bring more stillness, depth, and care into your teaching — this might be for you.

The Cost of a Smile

My friend Giorgio Modica of Modica, Sicily, passed away on January 24. On his death notice, his family wrote Fu Angelo. Translation: He was an angel. In his youth, Giorgio immigrated to Toronto, Canada, where he lived for many years. He loved Canada, but he yearned to live out his later years in his beloved Sicily, which is exactly what he did....
