We had the good fortune of connecting with Mandy Franco and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mandy, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Let’s start with the physical and work our way inward. Yoga improves our health and wellbeing. Through awareness and a steady practice of breathwork, and asana (movement) we build strength , balance and flexibility in body and mind. Our goal is to build a strong community through group yoga sessions, wellness activities, educational workshops for mind, body and soul. When we have a mindful practice we become more aware and connected to ourselves. We become heart centered and compassionate then in turn we are able to support and have compassion for the people around us. This builds a strong connection between us and we have built that as individuals teaching over the years and now have the opportunity to bring it all together under one roof and expand upon our dream of a healthy, safe, loving community.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Love, sweat and tears. It takes grit and grace to overcome obstacles and challenges in business and in life but if you are doing what you love and are in a supportive, healthy environment then you won’t work a day in your life. The people make it all worth it. It’s the need. The need for health and overall wellness. The need for a community. We are here for each other day in and day out through ups and downs to encourage and support mental and physical wellbeing .

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Relax at a Resort Pool or Spa: Scottsdale is known for its luxurious resorts. Even if you’re not staying at one, consider a spa day or a day pass to enjoy their pool facilities.

Also visit Cosanti in Scottsdale. Love the vibe here the history the art the beauty.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The students deserve a shoutout. They make the community what it is. Together we have fostered a deep connection. That kind of heartfelt gratitude for each other and our practice speaks volumes. We get to share our passion for yoga, Pilates, and movement and inspire each other to learn, grow, and embrace more in our own personal lives off the mat. The dedication and the open-mindedness of our students are clearly the heart and soul of our success.
