As a company member with Nashville Ballet, Grace French discovered yoga as a required part of her training, and the practice quickly became something much deeper. Led by Daphne and Tom Larkin, the class left a lasting impression, and Grace was completely captivated by the experience.
She went on to complete her 200-hour yoga teacher training through Sanctuary in 2019–2020, building on that early connection with movement and breath. In her teaching, Grace offers a welcoming, nonperformance-oriented space where dance-like flow meets mindful awareness. Her approach invites students to move with ease, connect with the breath, and explore the body in a way that feels both expressive and grounded.
Grace remains deeply grateful to Sanctuary for supporting her journey and helping shape the path that brought her from ballet into yoga teaching.
