Tracy lets people go at their own pace and is always saying listen to your body. She gives options for each move which I really appreciate. My progress is noticeable!

Chair Yoga

In chair yoga, we focus on fostering flexibility, strength, and balance through a series of supported poses and gentle challenges. By incorporating mindful movement and coordination between poses, participants can enhance proprioception while reducing the risk of injury. Join us as we explore the structured yet accessible practice of chair yoga, designed to promote physical well-being and functional movement patterns.
 

"Tracy's class combines learning and gentle movement. Each class takes takes us from the Chair to standing poses.  This helps me to build core strength and improve my balance." 
- Coreen J.




Yin Yoga 

Yin yoga is a practice designed to cultivate harmony between the mind and body. By stimulating the body's meridians, or energy pathways, it promotes equilibrium among the organs, fostering overall balance and well-being. Through purposeful techniques, yin yoga facilitates the smooth flow of prana, resulting in reduced stress and anxiety. Additionally, this practice enhances circulation, flexibility, and joint mobility, contributing to improved physical health and vitality.








Hatha/Yin

Combining Hatha and Yin yoga styles within a single  practice offers a comprehensive approach that incorporates both passive pose holding with more dynamic sequences. Through this fusion, practitioners can experience a harmonious balance of energy levels and can cultivate a deeper sense of mindfulness.

"The practice of yin/yang yoga helps us learn about stillness in movement and the flow in stillness." Sarah Powers
