Tracy is the first Yoga teacher ever hired at BHC, over 25 years ago! Yoga formally stole Tracy’s heart during a massage residency program at the Heartwood Institute in NorCal from 1993-1995 with Gayna Uranski, although she practiced on and off with her mom since she was a little girl. She began teaching in 1995. Her earliest influences are Iyengar and Ashtanga yoga. As time passes Tracy is losing interest in the linear, masculine, and often rather rigid styles of asana, and is becoming more fascinated with the gentle and subtle modalities of breath and movement that help to increase general positive body awareness, deep core stability, and vibrant well being. All of Tracy’s classes are created on the spot based upon student requests/needs.

She holds a teaching certificates from The Ashtanga Yoga School, 8 Limbs Yoga Centers (200 and 500 hour), and Yoga Tune Up®. Tracy is also the lead teacher for the Grounded Wisdom Yoga Teacher Training at 8 Limbs Yoga in Seattle. She teaches with humor and compassion, because those are the tools Tracy has found to be the most useful in her own life.
