Fran Astino Consulting & Yoga
Welcome! I’m Fran (she/her) and I am so excited to share my work with you.
I provide Human Resources & administrative consulting services for small to medium sized businesses and start-ups.
I also offer yoga and sound meditation private sessions, weekly yoga asana classes, and regular workshops across Western Massachusetts.
I’m a fat & queer yoga teacher with a "real job" in HR. I'm passionate about social justice, and my yoga and Human Resources practices have been centered in creating space for underserved communities and supporting those that don’t have the opportunity to advocate for themselves.
I believe that we can make Human Resources more “human.” I’ve noticed a change in workplace expectations since 2020 and there has been an overall loss of connection and support for employee growth.
I’ve learned across my career in HR that many small businesses and start-ups have been working without HR and administrative support from their inception, causing workflow issues no matter the industry.
