After years on the spectator side of Jiu Jitsu, Tracy tried her first class in 2006 and was instantly hooked. She loves the physical and mental game; but the resulting fitness, self-defense skills, and friendships she has made make Jiu Jitsu something she plans to do for life. Tracy believes Jiu Jitsu is a great sport for women of all ages. You don’t have to fit the mold to excel. Your game is your own.

I love the feeling of being centered within myself. Yoga is a part of my daily routine, it cleanses the soul.  When I am grounded and centered, I am able to be present in my everyday life, which allows me to be a better mother, wife, friend, instructor, etc.  When I first envisioned Sculpt Yoga, I knew I needed the right pieces for the puzzle. The universe absolutely provided what I asked for!  The right location, the knowledgeable instructors,  and the open minded students.  I wanted the studio to be a place where  magical  things happen!  People can come together, learn from each other,  practice yoga, sweat hard, and clear the mind.  I am happy to say we have accomplished this together!
