Greetings South Yuba Club Members,

My name is Tracy Lease, and I am excited to hold a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the South Yuba Club beginning in January 2026. If you are interested in teaching yoga, or in deepening your yoga practice and knowledge, this training may be right for you. 

My yoga background arises from Iyengar and Anusara training, both alignment-based forms of yoga.  Challenges with my own body, including four-curve structural scoliosis, foot surgery as a child, and abdominal surgeries, have also educated me about how to approach yoga in all of our unique bodies, and how yoga can help us with a variety of health issues. Yoga is a wholistic practice that can serve all communities.  I have taught in schools, studios, clubs, jails, as well as working with family members around the dinner table-- and you can too.

I love learning and teaching and have done a great deal of training in all aspects of yoga, including yoga as therapy.  I am also a certified Pilates instructor with extra education in fascial networks, osteoporosis and scoliosis. Practitioners who study with me will have a fundamental understanding of how to move from the core, how to modify poses for a variety of bodies, and how to incorporate other aspects of yoga into our lives.  For more on my background, press here.

In creating this teacher training I want to offer others a way to better understand their own bodies, minds and hearts and to see themselves as a unified whole brimming with the potential to actualize dreams.  I also hope to create a strong community of yoga practitioners who share ideas, discoveries and support each other on this journey.

The training is set up in six weekend modules, with online classes keeping us connected January through June.  I have tried to make this training possible for those who work.

If you would like to get to know my teaching style or to meet me, join me on Saturday mornings, 10:15-11:30 for alignment-based Vinyasa flow or Friday mornings 7-8 for Pilates mat.  I welcome your questions about the training after class or via email.  You can also read dates and details about the training here.

Thank you for welcoming me into your South Yuba Club community.
