Tracy Lease, yoga therapist and director of Full Life Yoga Studio in Grass Valley, California, empowers each unique student to move toward optimal health and happiness. Tracy has spent 20 years joyfully guiding students in movement and mindfulness practices.

Tracy has an intuitive sense of energy and helps students tune in.  She has spent years integrating study of the body — so whether she teaches about feet, asana, the nervous system, or the Koshas, Tracy gives people fun, useful ways to incorporate what has been learned into daily life. Her unique teaching style brings learning to life.

Tracy’s greatest teacher is her own body. At 16, due to extreme pain, she discovered structural scoliosis. Working with four curves in her spine led her to explore movement of all kinds, from dance and yoga to Pilates, which is how she learned to integrate limbs and work from the core. Experience with her spine helps Tracy have empathy with students and their body challenges.

Tracy has a passion for teaching people to find ease in unique bodies. Having led retreats nationally and internationally, she is excited to teach at Esalen. Yoga is a way of life for Tracy. She hopes to share this journey with you.
