Since Tracy was a child she’s had a passion for fitness.  Thanks to her parents, she started ballet classes at the age of 3 and continued to dance until the age of 17.   At the age of 16 again, thanks to her mother, she found herself in her first structured yoga class and from there her practice grew.  Eventually being offered a teaching position with the local gym where she was given the opportunity to share her practice.
