Tracy Carson
Hatha Yoga & Yin Yoga (Yin Yang)
My teaching style is very adaptable, depending on my class and students. No matter what level you are, I welcome you to the class with open arms.
The beginners Hatha Yoga classes are powerful yet playful - leaving you feeling energized and accomplished whereas my Yin Yoga classes are extremely relaxed and meditative.
I first discovered yoga after having my children and I fell in love with it instantaneously. The mind & body connection, the feeling of calm after practice, and the physical relaxation was like nothing I had ever experienced, pure bliss. A while after finding my passion, I joined a hot yoga studio in Edinburgh and I was soon going every day.
It was at this time, my brother Steve became very ill with a rare respiratory disorder, which was devastating to my family. After losing him I was determined to live my life to the fullest in honour of his passing which was when I made the decision to do my first yoga teacher training course.
I graduated from the 500-hour Hatha Yoga training in Kho Lak Thailand in 2014.
I then went on to complete my 200-hour Yin teacher training course to create an ideal Yin Yang balance of the styles I had learned.
I now teach my yoga blend and meditation in my classes to create the perfect harmony for the mind body and soul.
I feel I have found my calling in teaching yoga and I will do my best to support every one of my student’s success: physically, mentally, and spiritually.
I am a highly qualified and experienced Yoga and Meditation teacher and Holistic Therapist.
Ten years of living in London and a hectic job in the fashion industry left me feeling burnt out and unfulfilled. To combat the stress I was experiencing I was inspired to take a completely different direction, all down to the life-changing practice of yoga.
Since my early twenties, I have experimented with different styles of yoga, but it wasn’t until 2013, that I truly discovered just how transformational yoga can be. My flatmate at the time, Tammy, was a newly qualified Bikram Yoga teacher and she encouraged me to try it as a way of coping with the unhappiness I was experiencing. I was instantly hooked, and I began practising as often as I could. Yoga became my therapy, it helped me through a difficult period and it kept me sane!
Fast forward a couple of years - I decided to move back to my hometown of Edinburgh. To be near my family, to start my life over, retrain and embark on a very different career path. In August 2015 I travelled to Malta to complete my 200-hour FitYoga Teacher Training course. Upon my return, I began training with The Scottish Massage Schools in Swedish Massage. The past seven years have been about building up my holistic toolkit, qualifying as a reiki master, and adding many different types of holistic treatments to my portfolio. I've never looked back. In 2017 I completed my Meditation Tuition diploma with Gateway Training School and I am delighted to share this wonderful practise with others. In December 2018 I fulfilled a lifelong dream and travelled to Goa, India and successfully completed a 60-hour Yin Yoga teacher training course with Sampoorna Yoga School. In January 2020 I returned to my beloved Goa and gained my 300-hour Yin/Yang and the Five Elements teacher training certification with Trimurti Yoga.
I have always wanted to make a real, positive contribution to people's lives, doing something I love and am passionate about - I'm very happy to say I'm doing just that!
