Yin Yoga
This class is taught by:
Tracy Gross
Tracy Gross, ERYT 500, YACEP.
Tracy has been teaching yoga since 2015 when she completed her 200-hour training at Asheville Yoga Center in North Carolina. She then completed specialized certifications in Restorative Yoga (2017), Yin Yoga and Chair Yoga (2018), and a 300-hour advanced training in 2019. Since then, she’s logged enough teaching hours to hold both ERYT 500 and YACEP credentials through Yoga Alliance.
Tracy continues to study yoga philosophy with her teacher, Michael Johnson, and has recently started learning to read and write Sanskrit. Although she loves a heated flow class, her favorite practices, both to teach and to do herself, are the quieter ones: restorative, yin, and meditation. Her classes have a lighthearted, welcoming feel, often woven with philosophy, storytelling, and reflection.
Though she has traveled the world and settled in many places over the years, Tracy is happiest back home in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania where she was born. When she’s not teaching or on the mat, you’ll find her hiking, mountain biking, paddle boarding, or silversmithing in her home art studio creating beautiful jewelry.
Stillness. Depth. Presence.Yin Yoga is a meditative practice that targets the deep connective tissues of the body—ligaments, joints, and fascia—through long-held, passive postures. Each pose is held for 3–5 minutes (or longer), allowing time to release tension, increase flexibility, and cultivate inner awareness.This class is an invitation to slow down and turn inward. With an emphasis on breath, stillness, and mindfulness, Yin Yoga supports both physical and emotional balance. It’s a perfect complement to more active styles of yoga or busy lifestyles.Suitable for all levels — whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner looking to go deeper.
