Tracie started practicing Bikram yoga in 2001 to relieve stress from her daily NYC commute and to complement her gym workouts. That first yoga class rekindled her passion for inversions and balancing that she developed as a child practicing gymnastics. Discovering a love for the heated practice, Tracie began to practice hot vinyasa. As she developed a consistent practice, Tracie recognized that yoga is not only a physical practice, but also a mindful practice – a moving meditation, with the power to heal, strengthen and constantly overcome challenges & exceed goals. With the desire to share the immeasurable gifts she received through yoga, Tracie completed her 200-hour teacher training through Ft. Lauderdale’s Yoga Joint and now teaches at several South Florida locations. Inspired by the diverse teachers she has practiced with, Tracie’s powerful classes infuse strength and flexibility with inspiration, enthusiasm, playfulness and a bit of a challenge to cultivate students’ gifts, passions, balance and the confidence to exceed their wildest dreams.
