Tracie (Padma Shakti) is the founder and Yoga Studies Director for Yoga Rasa. Her ability to effectively disseminate the yoga teachings, leading students toward a more excellent quality of life and more subtle awareness and understanding in life, is made possible by her study and love of these great beings: Dr. David Hoch, Lex Gillian, Reverend Karen Tudor, Sandra Summerfield-Kozak, Rodney Yee, Erich Schiffmann, Shiva Rea, David Frawley and Swami Atma. There are many other masters and teachers unnamed to pay homage to as well, whether by lineage living now or before. Her current studies are influenced mostly by Rod Stryker, Shiva Rea, Dr. Stephen Phillips (Swamiji), Reverend Richard Rogers, Yoga Rasa Kula, Intuition and God.
