Tracey Kreiling

YYT - 200 Certified, Inside Flow Gold Instructor, Yin Yoga and Children's Yoga Certified, Verititas Labyrinth Facilitator

In 2023, with a need to bring movement back to her body, after a stint of injuries, a time in a wheelchair and 11 medical procedures, in 5 years, for Melanoma, all stopping her physically for weeks or months, Tracey returned to yoga, and found movement she hadn’t experienced in years. In an effort to such movement, as well as mindful practices to others, she began the Yoga Certification process.

Tracey is certified in a number of Yoga/Meditation/Mindfulness genres and in an effort to bring this wellness to Everybody, Every Body Type, All Fitness and Income Levels, has taken the leap to open Mindful Movement Yoga.

Elizabeth Vesto

Yoga Therapist C-IAYT, E-RYT 500

Elizabeth’s path to yoga began as a personal search for relief from the chronic pain of osteoarthritis in her spine and the emotional weight of complex PTSD. What she discovered was more than just physical relief; she found a holistic approach to well-being that nourished both body and mind. This transformative experience showed her that yoga could be accessible to all, regardless of age, body type, or condition. Inspired by her own healing journey, Elizabeth felt compelled to share this practice with others facing similar challenges.

As a yoga therapist, Elizabeth specializes in adapting yoga practices to meet the unique needs of individuals with specific or persistent health concerns. Her approach is rooted in the understanding that each person’s body and experiences are different, and she tailors her sessions to help individuals find balance, strength, and healing in a safe and supportive environment.
