About Tracey
After extensive classical training I graduated from the Northern Ballet School and danced professionally for a number of years before becoming a full time teacher for the Royal Academy of Dance. My love of travel has taken me all over the world, teaching for +30 years in the UK, Europe, America, Dubai, Hong Kong, Thailand, Ibiza, Bali and SW France. My teaching style blends the very best of the movement techniques I have studied over the years. My science-based method motivates, engages and encourages thousands of clients worldwide to reach and maximise their well-being goals and feel great in their bodies.
For over 15 years I organised and facilitated wellness retreats incorporating yoga, holistic fitness and dance movement therapy, throughout Europe and Asia for groups and private clients. I was a Faculty Teacher at Evolution, Asia largest Yoga Conference in 2011 & 2013 in Hong Kong, and worked closely with Champneys UK and the multi award-winning Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa in Thailand. During my time in Asia I also co-created an online yoga and dance-wear clothing brand called AURA, ethically sourced in Bali. From 2015 my husband and I cofounded a highly successful boutique Retreat Wellness Resort in San Carlos in Ibiza. We specialised in personalised one-to-one experiences and attracted international clientele. Now based in the peaceful countryside of Somerset, England with my husband and adorable miniature schnauzer Alfie.
As I age I am even more aware of the importance of the relationship I have with my body. I create habits to slow aging, increase vitality, flexibility and strength. Working with your body, not against it is key. I believe in manageable bite-sized amounts of movement consistently can help you produce long-term effects.
As a Movement Specialist I embrace innovation and have the courage to be different. A proactive approach to health enables you to manage, postpone and even prevent some medical conditions happening in the future.
Our bodies are all designed to move in the same way but depending on our movement choices throughout our life we may have over trained certain joints and muscles, or been inactive due to a job or through an injury. This can leave your body feeling weak, in pain and stiff. The stresses of modern life also shapes how our body responds and feels. The way we move or do not move our body can often be a metaphor for how we move and interact with life.
Awareness changes everything and it’s about understanding how your body is designed to move and finding safe and simple ways of moving to release tension, build strength, mobility, boost metabolism and improve emotional and mental health.
You can also find me over on SubStack, I am the author of 'You Are Not Alone' where I share essays and newsletters with an artistic twist, to highlight the struggles and aspirations that we all feel. My hope is that these essays will help you and me to navigate through today’s modern, often stressful and ever evolving world more easily.
You are very welcome to join me as we look to have deeper conversations with ourselves ON and OFF the yoga mat. The road is not straight, it’s a rollercoaster. I am at your side through all the ups and downs. If you are curious then let's engage & encourage each other over on SubStack.
See you on the mat very soon ♥
