Tracy incorporated yoga as a daily practice into her life after the loss of her mother in January 2004. Practicing alone, and studio hopping, she wandered into the Yoga Connection and truly felt a sense of community between the teachers, student-teachers and students. Tracy participated in the HTTI 2007 program to expand her own yoga practice and was offered the opportunity to share her love and passion for yoga at the Yoga Connection. 

She teaches Hatha Yoga focusing on acceptance, self-nurturing, pranayama, asana and mudras.  She has her mother and especially her husband to thank for lighting her path -- and has immeasurable gratitude for Priscilla Potter for directing her to her path.

Tracy leads a Monthly New Moon Meditation.

This is the reason Ashley teaches and continues to be a student.

Jim began practicing yoga at 8 years of age, practicing in his living room with Richard Hittleman on TV, and has had a consistent practice for the past 12 years. He has been teaching yoga for 10 years and considers his primary teachers, and inspirations upon the yogic path, to be Priscilla Potter, Goswami Kriyananda, Swami Satchidananda and B.K.S. Iyengar. 

Jim describes his approach to yoga as organic and eclectic characterized by slow but deep movement, lots of breathing; keeping present in mind and body. His teaching style is meditative. His personal yoga practice includes mantra and sound. Jim teaches yoga in order to give back the teaching he has received and says the response from his students helps him continue learning. Jim has been teaching at the Yoga Connection about 10 years, considering it to be his “yoga home” and his sangha.

Jim leads a Monthly Full Moon Meditation with Mantra.

Julie started practicing yoga in 2003 because she was curious. She completed the Yoga Connection’s teacher training in June of 2009  and began teaching after completing the course. She has had a wonderful experience at Yoga Vida practicing Bikram yoga. She recently completed the first level of yoga nidra or iRest training.

“I teach because I love yoga and I want to share this positive experience with as many people as I possibly can. I feel very comfortable and at home at the Yoga Connection. There is a very warm vibe that surrounds the studio and makes you feel welcomed.  Yoga has been a very important force in my life. It has made me a better person. Now that I have fully experienced this positive impact, my life would not be the same without it.”

Julie currently teaches Thursday Meditation by Donation.
