“In the Prairie Yoga Advanced Teacher Training, I was introduced to therapeutic techniques and gentle applications of yoga. I learned how to modify yoga poses for students who have limitations and who are in pain. With so much emphasis on vinyasa and fitness style yoga, I saw a real need to offer classes for students who are unable to take regular classes due to illness or injury. I decided to open my own studio with the intention to teach classes with a focus on the students’ individual needs. I opened with 3 classes a week. Three years later, we have grown to 11 classes a week with 7 teachers, 4 are Prairie Yoga teachers. Many students attend classes regularly to help manage pain and to stay active. We have 4 gentle classes a week and they are the most popular classes at the studio. I am deeply grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained through my training at Prairie Yoga. I’m honored to be able to help students reduce or eliminate pain with yoga and I’m proud to be a part of the Prairie Yoga community.” ~ Tracy Caracciolo
