Frances McQueen

Frances first discovered yoga in Tucson, AZ in late 2000 at the age of 18. At the time,

she was working in a tanning salon. One day, the yoga studio owner from two doors

down came in and offered Frances a job, pay raise, and the option to practice yoga.

And that is the (short) story of how yoga found Frances and hooked her immediately.

What spoke to Frances the most wasn’t the postures, but the depth of what yoga has to

offer, the ancient wisdom, and the teachings. From that point on, yoga has been a path

that’s naturally folded out before her, carrying her and guiding her, bringing incredible

opportunities and growth. “Not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for this practice and

for the opportunity to share the practice with others, just like it was shown to and shared

with me.”

Frances McQueen is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher (E-RYT ® -200, RYT ® -500) at The

Healing Loft and Shine Yoga. She teaches Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Slow Flow,

Meditation, and Pranayama. She is a certified provider of continuing education

(YACEP ® ) for existing yoga teachers.

When Frances isn’t on her mat, you can find her running, swimming, and doing all

things Mom!

Sarah Collins

Hi, I’m Sarah Collins! I live in VA Beach and have been practicing yoga since 2010. My yoga journey began during a challenging transition in my life, and I quickly discovered that the practice nurtured not only my body but also my mind and spirit. In 2015, I earned my 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) certification, followed by Barre training in 2016. In 2019, I expanded my practice by diving into Mobility Work, focusing on hands-on stretching techniques. Most recently, in 2022, I completed my Mat Pilates certification through Stott Pilates, which has been instrumental in helping me rebuild my core strength after having three children. Pilates has become a key part of my teaching and personal practice, offering a mindful approach to building strength, flexibility, balance, and posture through controlled movements and breathwork. Pilates is a low-impact, full-body exercise that helps engage the core, deepen stretches, and enhance overall well-being. I currently teach Mat Pilates at The Healing Loft once a week, sharing the benefits of this empowering practice with our community. Alongside my passion for yoga and Pilates, I’m an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast—I love hiking and embracing nature whenever I can. I truly believe that movement is a powerful tool for self-discovery and transformation, and I’m excited to guide you on your journey to inner and outer strength. I also offer private mobility sessions, providing personalized attention for those looking to enhance flexibility, improve mobility, and achieve their unique movement goals in a supportive, tailored environment. I look forward to meeting you on the mat and working together to build strength, resilience, and confidence—inside and out.
