The Tracey Memorial & Legacy Fund

My mom, Tracey, passed away suddenly from a heart attack at just 58 years old. The shock, disbelief and devastation that followed felt impossible to put into words. My mother and I were incredibly close. She had me as a young teenager and spent her entire life doing everything she could to give my younger sisters and I the best life possible.

She was strength.
She was resilience.
She was unconditional love.

And now, learning how to navigate life without her has been one of the greatest challenges I have ever faced.

Throughout my life, I have always felt deeply called to transform pain into purpose and to use hardship as a way to create something meaningful, healing and supportive for others. In this season of grief, it has been the practices of yoga, meditation, breathwork, somatic healing and community that have helped carry me through the unimaginable.

These practices have not removed the grief.
But they have helped me hold it.

And through this journey, I felt inspired to create The Tracey Memorial & Legacy Fund at The Yoga Dome.

This in-house community support fund was created in loving memory of my mom, Tracey.

Whenever we host by-donation classes, special events or community offerings, proceeds will be placed into this fund to help support individuals who may need financial assistance accessing yoga classes, workshops, retreats or trainings.

My hope is that this fund becomes a small extension of who my mom was:
someone who cared deeply, gave endlessly and always wanted others to feel supported.

This is one way her love continues on.
Through healing.
Through community.  
Through helping others feel less alone.
