About Tracy

Tracy began her yoga practice in 2007. As her practice developed, she was inspired by her teachers to become certified to teach yoga. After graduating from Jacqui Bonwell’s 200-hour teacher training at Greener Postures in South Portland, Maine in 2011, Tracy began teaching yoga classes after school and on weekends, and also leading her third and fourth grade students in simple breathing exercises and yoga poses throughout the school day.

Tracy participated in a “Beyond Teaching Yoga Mentorship” program with Kevan Gale at Stil Studio, where she later enrolled in her 300-­hour RYT. This training left her with a deeper understanding of the spiritual side of yoga, as well as personal daily meditation practice. In 2016, Tracy completed Andrew Kelley’s Meditation for Everyone Teacher Training.

Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.
— Margaret Shepherd

During the summer of 2016 Tracy transitioned from her role as a 4th grade classroom teacher to a full ­time yoga and meditation teacher.

Tracy teaches public and private yoga and meditation classes to adults and children in the greater Boston area. She also leads workshops for classroom teachers and other school-based professionals on mindfulness and yoga in the classroom.

Additionally, Tracy has participated on panels and lead workshops on bringing mindfulness into the classroom for Kripalu, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, and EDCO Collaborative. Tracy’s yoga classes in and around Boston, MA are a fun physical practice infused with a sense of calming energy. She mindfully instructs her students through sequences, while offering them the space to listen to their bodies and move with intention.

When not teaching or practicing yoga, Tracy can be found spending time with her five nieces and nephews, walking along the Charles River, or relaxing on the beach.
