Brian was born and raised in Williamstown, MA, he was a 3 sport varsity athlete in high school. Brian has lived on Amelia Island for 8 years and was introduced to yoga in 2011. Initially drawn to yoga because of the amazing physical benefits, Brian also noticed reduced pain, improved mobility, and ultimately relief, from a myriad injuries Brian collected while playing Ice Hockey for 19 years. Brian was certified (100 hour) in The Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra in 2016. Brian's passion for meditation is a first person testimonial "it has without a doubt, changed my life in ways that words cannot adequately describe". Brian's intention is to share and introduce this practice with as many people possible. Yoga Nidra is a sleep based meditation practice, that uses body, breath and awareness techniques to disengage the mind, and drop you into the deepest possible level of relaxation. Yoga Nidra can help with: PTSD, anxiety, fear, insomnia, ADHD, depression, and several other common ailments. Traci has been practicing and instructing yoga for over 15 years. She found yoga in the Fall of 1999 when her youngest child was 6 months old. Being a stay at home mom and child care provider, she continually sought out ways to keep herself centered and balanced. She experienced her first yoga class in a gym workout room and fell instantly in love with the feeling that it brought over her. Being born with the gift of natural flexibility, she found the challenge and flow of a yoga class to be a very natural fit for her and within 6 months began teaching. The feeling of helping to bring peace, happiness and relaxation into someone's life has been very rewarding for her. She comes from the cold north of New Hampshire where the heat building practice of a power yoga class was her passion. She now specializes in gentle flow yoga but enjoys encouraging you to challenge yourself and find your edge. She offers a safe, well instructed and completely judgement free atmosphere...come as you are, if you will. After moving to Florida in 2009 she decided to focus on her personal practice for the next few years and in 2012 began teaching again here on Amelia Island. She completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification in 2014. Traci enjoys peaceful and simple living here on beautiful Amelia Island with her two daughters, dog and cat. She is very excited to be joining the Centred on Yoga team and is looking forward to meeting each and every one of you!
