ELDER Chair Yoga & Lymph Flow

Gently build breath capacity, mobility, flexibility, and strength. Designed to leave you feeling calm, grounded, and energized, Fran encourages you to work at your level as we gently alternate between floor work, standing, balancing, and seated postures.

  • “Fran brings yoga, Lebed Method lymphatic flow concepts, and rock-solid conventional wisdom of elders' needs, into exercise that can be performed sitting or standing. Being able to sit on days when I’m a little bit off, allows me to participate within my limits on that particular day and still enjoy the camaraderie of the class. Through strength building, improved posture, and stretching connective tissue, Fran’s movement has given me significant gains in the range of motion available to me for activities of daily living. The class is fun, entertaining, and I have even learned a bit of Sanskrit."

    — Cory, Seattle, WA, Attorney

  • “Through her teaching, Frances has revealed herself to be warm, thoughtful and compassionate; a highly motivating person, carefully explaining the benefits of each exercise to the body’s lymphatic flow system. I particularly enjoy her imaginative use of metaphors to create images that allow us to visualize and recreate the movements she so clearly demonstrates. "

    — Toni

  • “My experiences with Fran are all positive. She is a gentle soul full of energy, knowledge and joy. Anytime you can take one of her classes, I would encourage you to try it. You will want more, and your day will be better for it.“

    — Marsha Hardt

  • “Frances Kao is a wonderful teacher. She makes her instructions clear and explains the purpose of various exercises. I have enjoyed taking her Lymphatic Flow exercise class and benefit from the various movements, especially with respect to the range of motion in my joints. I wish I had started taking her class a lot sooner, and I recommend Fran highly.“
