Transformations
Life is uncertain right now for the world, but I do not feel afraid, nor frazzled like I did months ago, I actually feel hopeful and optimistic, and excited to become (and to keep becoming) a teacher of Yoga … So much of that is possible because of Traci’s influence and dedication to this mentorship experience. in one of the very first messages that Traci sent to me at the beginning of our mentorship she said that "everything is discovery, everything is good,” and those words have imprinted on my heart.
Rachel
Traci is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled teachers I have had the pleasure to practice with and learn from. She consistently empowers her students to seek answers and listen to their bodies, while ensuring proper alignment and technique. Her focus on not only asana, but all eight limbs of yoga, provide the necessary scaffolding to transition students from the act of taking a yoga class to developing a yoga practice that is uniquely their own. In this way Traci creates a sense of community among her students that allows them to thrive and push the limits of what they thought they could accomplish, both physically and mentally. I am deeply appreciative of the role she has played in helping me to forge my own yoga path. If you have not had the opportunity to study with Traci I highly recommend you do."
Dr. Dandy
Having begun yoga much later in life, I have never once felt intimated to walk into one of Traci's classes. It is very apparent in every class that she is very inclusive of everyone in her classes no matter their age or yoga experience. Traci takes the time to offer modifications and props to those of us less advanced in our practice and, for me, that makes a great yoga class. I appreciate her willingness to slow down and meet me where I'm at in my practice, and I always feel so confident in my practice after a class with Traci.
