Francine Porter will lead stu­dents in a social­ly-dis­tant yoga prac­tice out­side at Tree Pitts­burgh’s beau­ti­ful cam­pus on the Alleghe­ny Riv­er in Upper Lawrenceville. The event will be 70 min­utes long and will fol­low all appro­pri­ate CDC guidelines.

Francine has been prac­tic­ing yoga for nine years and recent­ly com­plet­ed her RYS train­ing with Michael Lub­bert. A crit­i­cal care nurse, Francine believes that you can only uplift oth­ers if you are in a good place your­self and found that yoga helped her deal with the every­day stres­sors in her life. She is excit­ed to share with oth­ers the beau­ti­ful prac­tice of link­ing breath with move­ment to help stu­dents feel relaxed, stronger and more peaceful.

Francine is donat­ing her time and tal­ents to Tree Pitts­burgh pro bono. This event is a fundrais­er with 100% of pro­ceeds going to fur­ther its mis­sion. We will be out­side and fol­low­ing CDC social dis­tanc­ing guide­lines. Due to these guide­lines, space is lim­it­ed to 20 par­tic­i­pants. If you do not feel well or have come in con­tact with some­one who has Covid-19, please stay home.

Tree Pitts­burgh is an envi­ron­men­tal non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to enhanc­ing com­mu­ni­ty vital­i­ty by restor­ing and pro­tect­ing the urban for­est through tree plant­i­ng and care, edu­ca­tion, advo­ca­cy, and land conservation.
