Francesca Toy

Francesca began practicing yoga with her mom when she was 12 years old in New York City, where she was raised. After many years as a student athlete she discovered that yoga was the best thing to keep herself feeling good and mobile, both mentally and physically. She moved to Worcester in 2017 to attend Clark University where she earned a Master’s in Education and began working in the Worcester Public Schools. As a high school teacher, Francesca has found that a regular yoga practice keeps her stress levels in check and fosters a caring attitude towards the teenagers she works with on a daily basis.

Francesca graduated from Hot Power Yoga Center’s 200 hour teacher training in May of 2025 and is excited to be sharing her love of yoga with the public.



Francesca Toy instructs the following:
  • Hot Power Vinyasa All Levels
  • The word Vinyasa means “linking breath to movement.” Our Vinyasa yoga classes are creative and teachers take students on a journey where the poses are found through breath. Vinyasa yoga is sometimes referred to as flow yoga since students flow from pose to pose in this style of class. In this vigorous flow students will be led through Sun Salutations, side bends, heart openers, backbends, hip openers, inversions, arm balances, standing poses, forward folds, core, twists and a floor sequence. Our classes are the perfect blend of all ways of stretching including a heavy focus on biomechanics and strength. We incorporate active and passive stretching, resistance variations of stretching, and use of props to add load or to modify.  These classes are for all levels. We offer a ton of modifications for all levels, so that each student can find the right variation of the pose that suits their unique needs.
