Tracey is a full time Yoga instructor and teaches Introduction to Iyengar Yoga at UWM as well as a variety of classes at Riverwest Yogashala. She began her yoga practice with Janet Lilly at UW-Milwaukee in 1999 while studying for her BFA in Art Education. Tracey found that yoga helped to stabilize her emotions, build her self-confidence, and relieve her chronic lower back pain. Over the years, she has become interested in functional yoga movement and breaking down the complexities of the poses into easier and attainable steps for every body. Tracey's teaching method is described as well-grounded, spirited, and attentive to the individual aspects of her students.  Tracey has also become sought out as a mentor to students interested in becoming instructors and furthering their own training in the Iyengar method. She is honored and excited to help share her years of experience and practice with those who, just like her, have recognized the unique benefits of Iyengar yoga.
