Tracey’s favorite quote is by Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home”. This is what teaching yoga feels like for Tracey, an opportunity to help walk someone home.Tracey has been a student of yoga for over 15 years. She initially found herself in the yoga studio for the same reasons many people find their way there; to relieve stress, and to increase her strength and flexibility. It took very little time until she was hooked. She saw that it had a much bigger effect than she’d ever imagined. Not only did she find that this practice was transforming her body and mind, she found that the way she approached life changed. She began the bigger practice of making peace with all things inside and out. Eventually she knew that she wanted to share this practice with others through teaching. She received her first 200 hour RYT at Elevate with Jill Knouse. She immediately began teaching Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin. Within a few years she knew her true passion was teaching Yin and so she began her extensive training in this modality. She studied with Annie Au and has a 100 hour certificate in Yin, Acupressure and Chinese Meridians. She also studied Yin with Paul and Suzi Grilley and Paul Terrell. She studied with Sarah Marsh and received a certificate in Trauma Informed Yoga. She is also a NLP Master Practitioner, and a Second Degree Reiki Master. She draws upon all of these trainings to create a class that is multidimensional. She will educate you on the anatomy and physiology of what the poses offer. She will talk about the neurobiology of the brain and how repetition of any one thing will change the brain over time. She will remind you of your beauty and wonder and encourage you to be your best you. She will offer Reiki as a way to move energy and release tension. Tracey says, “Home is not the country we live in, or the state, city, or even the house we live in. Home is us, it’s our human form, the body and mind we reside in. As Jon Kabat-Zinn says, ‘Where ever you go, there you are’. It is my honor and privilege to help walk people home. I love witnessing people make peace with themselves. I love the moment that they realize that ‘home’ resides inside. My goal is that every person feels seen, that they know their innate value, no matter what state they arrive in. Let’s walk each other home."
