This class is Tracy’s signature blend of yoga, pilates, dance, & mindful, functional exercise - a further evolution of what she taught for 20 years as owner & lead teacher at Integration Pilates Studio until 2019. This class moves as a flow, with plenty of cueing to deepen our connection to breath, alignment, core, flexibility, balance, & inner power. This dynamic class is accessible to all levels & will both awaken & relax all who come. Tracy is very excited to be able to share her fusion flow with her dear Edmonton community, while she takes a break from her new home in Buenos Aires, where she pursues her passion for Argentine Tango.
Meet Tracy Renee Stafford
I’m so excited to be back in my dear Edmonton for the summer! My last big stay here was from 2000-2019 as owner & lead teacher of Integration Pilates Studio. There, I taught classes to a broad range of movers - from pro athletes to new moms & from young gymnasts to seasoned desk jockeys. At Integration, I also developed teacher training programs, which focused on anatomy, injury prevention, & movement pedagogy. I continue to teach virtually from my new home in Buenos Aires, where I’m also thrilled to be able to pursue my passion for Argentine Tango.
My classes weave Pilates, Yoga, Dance, & Functional Exercise into 1 seamless flow. I love to make fitness a fun & flowing experience, providing safe space for students to experience the miracles that their bodies truly are.
I hold certifications in Pilates (Body Matrix, Toronto, 1997), Yoga (Ashtanga from David Swenson, Vinyasa from Yogaworks, Forrest Yoga from Ana Forrest), Dance (BFA, York University 1994), Meditation & Mindfulness, Breathwork, Stretch Therapy, Gyrotonics, Kettlebells, & Coaching in Holistic Living & Nutrition (MindBodyFood Institute, Australia). I studied Pilates & Yoga from some of the world's leaders in these fields, including Marie-Jose Blom, Karen Clippinger, Elizabeth Larkham, Brent Anderson, Seane Corn, Shiva Rea & many more.
