In-Person Yoga Classes
Fall/Winter 2025
Coucil on Aging
I have three classes at Milton’s Coucil on Aging (COA). Two of them (on Tuesday mornings) will be through the COA and one of them is a class I host there on Thursday mornings.
The Tuesday morning classes are ongoing, which is why there are no specific dates listed below. COA charges $5 per class and they are drop-in. The Council on Aging is located at 10 Walnut Street in Milton. Come by and enjoy some yoga with me :-). Both Tuesday morning classes, Mat & Chair Yoga, are technically drop in, but I suggest registering with COA at 617-898-4893.
COA Mat Yoga/Gentle Flow
Tuesdays 9-9:45 a.m.
&
COA Chair Yoga
Tuesdays 10-10:50 a.m.
Thursday Morning Moderate Flow:
Thursdays 8:45-9:45 a.m.
Starting with centering and an intention, my moderate flow class at COA moves at a good pace for most folks. The class is geared to challenge you, with a strong focus on breath and alignment. It is held in a beautiful bright space and there is easy parking.

NEW CLASS THIS FEBRUARY: Yoga for Bone Strength
Yoga for Bone Strength
Tuesday Afternoons 4:15 p.m.
This class is based on Dr. Loren Fishman’s Yoga for Osteoporosis and will incorporate specific poses which have been shown to improve bone density at the hip and femoral head and lumbar spine. This is a great non-flow class which will have longer holds of various poses. All are welcome, no need to be facing bone loss, just a curious spirit and dedication to your own well being!
Gentle Flow
Tuesday Evenings 5:30 p.m.
The gentle flow class moves at a nice pace and focuses on strength building and flexibility. Suitable for all levels. Like all my classes there is a focus on intention and breath.

The space is on the fourth floor of Muscle & Flow is truly something special to experience (the views! the sunsets!). My gentle flow class is geared to provide strength and flexibility while at the same time being very alignment-and-breath oriented. Suitable for all levels. Fran.Karoff@gmail.com

Online Classes: coming back summer 2026
During pandemic lockdown days I created a series, called “Just Enough.” These 30/40 minute classes were bundled into a ten-week session and are geared to open, soothe, comfort and restore. I nicknamed these classes “Just Enough” because I offer centering and a good overall practice in 30 minutes with an optional ten minute svasana. Each class is a unique gentle, and mostly floor-based flow.
Look for another “Just Enough” series coming summer 2026.
Fran’s classes are yoga for the body and soul, allowing for stretching and centering at the same time. She gives space to push yourself or to take it easy and gives equal value to both choices. Each class starts with a thoughtful intention that is always exactly what you need to hear in that moment, and her playlists are always on point! Fran’s classes are no-pressure, come-as-you-are, welcoming and encouraging safe places to remember how to breathe and to stretch and strengthen your body and mind.

Fran’s yoga is holistic. It is geared towards the body and the mind: it is great exercise; starting off gently and moving towards more challenging poses, then winding down at the end; it is calming and centering; and she always starts the class with an intention. She brings us back to the intention at the end of the class and the poses that we do during the class relate to the intention in a subtle but significant way. She always has a terrific playlist, different each time. She makes sure her students do the poses correctly so we don’t get injured. And Fran has a great sense of humor. Her class never feels competitive, just restorative on so many levels!

Fran’s yoga sessions offer a wonderful balance of mindfulness and physical challenge. This isn’t a mass produced class where you feel like a number. Every class has an intention (kind of like a little theme of the day) to focus your practice. The flows and poses can be adapted whether you are just starting or have practiced yoga for years. Everyone gets just enough attention so you feel confident in what you’re doing without being singled out. And the music is always a great addition. I highly recommend Fran’s classes.
