Rebecca Frances
Rebecca holds a Masters degree from Cambridge University where she studied the philosophy, literature and art of the body and of sexuality. She grounded her intellectual background in physical practice by then becoming a yoga teacher and masseuse, and continues to develop her professional interests by focusing now on breathwork, massage, and the pursuit of the linguistic expression of exactly what happens when two bodies touch. An author, workshop leader, and pranayama enthusiast, she brings over 7 years of teaching experience to the team, and over 15 years experience within the realms of applied sexuality and spiritual practices.
