Where Wellness Begins
Tracy draws on years of lived experience, study, and personal wellness exploration to bring depth and authenticity to every session. Her creative themes make each class meaningful, memorable, and transformative.
Tracy empowers you to move, grow, and feel at home on your mat.
Known for her warmth, authenticity, and down-to-earth vibe, Tracy creates a space where everyone feels safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Her classes are all about meeting you where you’re whether you’re brand new to yoga or easing back into movement.
With a focus on flexibility (hello, hips!), balance (yep, you can move like you used to), and alignment (no more feeling lost in class), Tracy guides you to explore movement at your own pace. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more grounded and maybe still humming that last song from the playlist.
Guided By Experience, Rooted in Wisdom
From Skeptic to Sage: Tracy’s Yoga Journey
Over two decades ago, Tracy Watson stepped into her first yoga class with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism. A lifelong athlete, she was no stranger to movement, but yoga felt foreign. The quiet, the stillness, the packed room of seemingly enlightened bodies folding into poses she couldn’t pronounce – it was overwhelming. Her mind raced, her body resisted, and she left thinking, “This just isn’t for me.”
But life has a way of circling back.
Years later, Tracy found herself drawn to One Yoga in Victoria. Something had shifted. She became an Energy Exchanger – a Karmi—and immersed herself in workshops, learning the language of alignment, breath, and presence. With consistent practice, she began to notice subtle victories: her body softened, her mind quieted, and her emotional resilience deepened. Yoga was no longer a mystery – it was medicine.
When she returned to Calgary, discovering Junction 9 in Inglewood felt like a homecoming. The studio became her sanctuary, a place to continue her practice and deepen her understanding. Becoming a certified yoga instructor through Mynah School of Yoga, recognized by the Canada Yoga Alliance, was the natural next step – a celebration of how far she’d come.
Today, Tracy teaches not just poses, but possibility. Her journey is a testament to the power of persistence, the wisdom of the body, and the beauty of returning to something with new eyes. Yoga didn’t change her overnight, it met her where she was, and walked with her toward where she was meant to be.
What Sets Tracy Apart
Fusion of Styles
Tracy curates a transformative yoga experience that blends tradition with innovation – we call it Fusion Flow, a contemporary expression of freedom. It’s a dynamic integration of Hatha Yoga for grounding and alignment, Yin for deep connective tissue release and introspection, Vinyasa for energizing movement and breath synchronization, and somatic exercise for intuitive, feel-good, expressive movement that is fun and emotionally satisfying.
Music as Medicine
Music isn’t just background – it’s part of the experience. Tracy believes that music has the power to soothe the soul, awaken emotion, and deepen connection. We hear meaning in the lyrics, the rhythm, and the beat – and that resonance matters. Music becomes a companion on your journey, helping you drop in, let go, and move with your heart.
Mindful Communication
Tracy believes that how we communicate is just as important as what we communicate. Therefore, she incorporates breathwork and intention-setting into a Mindful Communication practice to cultivate clarity, presence, and a sense of peace of mind.
These tools aren’t just for the yoga mat – they’re foundational for meaningful interpersonal connection. Breathwork helps regulate the nervous system, allowing us to respond rather than react. Intention-setting grounds us in purpose, helping us communicate with authenticity and compassion.
Whether in a boardroom, classroom, or conversation with a loved one, mindful communication empowers us to listen deeply, speak truthfully, and build trust. It’s where wellness meets wisdom and where personal growth becomes professional strength.
A Message from the Founder
Hi, I’m Tracy!
I created TLW Wellness Academy out of a deep desire to help people reconnect with their inner wisdom—especially during life’s transitions. As a communications coach, educator, yoga instructor, and mother of three adult children, I’ve seen how powerful it is when we align our thoughts, emotions, and actions with intention and mindfulness.
The Five Light Beams of Vital-Life Wisdom came from my own journey of integrating movement, mindfulness, and meaning. They’re not just concepts; they’re tools for living with more light, even when life feels heavy.
If you’re seeking a practical, equanimous, and profoundly personal wellness path, I invite you to walk it with us.
With warmth,
Tracy L Watson, MCS
