Tracy is a fully qualified and experienced British Wheel of Yoga Teacher. She has been teaching yoga for over 15 years to many students of varying abilities. Over the years Tracy has worked with many people and families facing challenges, including people with MS and also people living with or recovering from many other conditions.
One of Tracy’s passions in teaching yoga is to ensure that everyone can benefit and to teach techniques that can be added to their own ‘wellbeing toolkit’ to use anytime they would like.
Tracy says “Yoga is not just for bendy, flexible people as is sometimes wrongly portrayed in the media. It is an all-round approach to keep us all moving, to help us with our strength and flexibility, in body and in mind, to help us to focus and concentrate, to help us find peace and contentment, to help us find joy and balance our emotions.”
It is a way to connect body, mind and soul, and the word ‘yoga’ literally means ‘to yoke’ or bind together all aspects of ourselves to enhance our wellbeing and bring about a feeling of joy and bliss.
Tracy runs Summerhouse Yoga & Wellbeing in Horsham, West Sussex, which she set up in 2010. She offers online yoga, yoga for beginners, hatha yoga, seated yoga, private tuition, workshops and the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) Foundation Course for serious yoga students. She has been a BWY Teacher since 2007. You can find out more about Tracy at www.summerhouseyoga.co.uk.
