Tracy Bogart, E-R.Y.T., has yoga roots that stretch back to her Waldorf School kindergarden curriculum when she was introduced to Eurythmy (the art of speaking and singing through movements and gestures that are intended to reveal to

the eye what language and music bring to the ears). Tracy's personal teaching style is directly connected to these roots. She creatively emphasizes the liquid- like coordination of breath and movement, along with the direct connection of expression

of oneself through the heart and the body as a whole. When she teaches (not often these days) each class unravels a unique sequence of poses designed to unleash the movement of energy within, tap into the energy around the body, and connect

with the infinite space outside the room. A yoga instructor for 20yrs, Tracy's traditional teaching experience was adopted in Southern California where she lived, studied and practiced yoga in a variety of styles with teachers such as Erich Schiffmann, Chuck Miller, Maty Ezraty, Brian Kest, Rod Stryker, Ana Forrest and friend Robyn Shumacher. Looking for a way to continue studying with her teachers and stay close to home to raise her two daughters, Tracy opened Triangle Yoga. Through the

years she has hosted over two dozen master teachers at the studio.

       

Tracy has been Co-founder and Director of Triangle Yoga since 1996. Prior to that time, yoga was not openly accessible in

'The Triangle', and it was difficult establishing classes for the public, so in 1992 she developed yoga programs in a number

of local gyms and fitness centers thus creating a new awareness for 'the practice' in the area. In addition to Tracy's teaching,

and managerial duties at the studio she has also taught yoga to the Men's Football and Women's Lacrosse teams at UNC

Chapel Hill and to students at the American Dance Festival in Durham. Tracy is certified as an Advanced Yoga Teacher

by the White Lotus Foundation, an Advanced Yoga Alliance Teacher, in Thai Yoga Therapy with Saul David Raye and has a

certificate of completion in Anatomy and Physiology with Carol Verner's 'Form & Flow' program. As senior teacher at Triangle

Yoga,Tracy recognizes how yoga profoundly transformed her life and gave it a purpose. Grateful for everything yoga has

given her, she is dedicated to sharing her enthusiasm for as long as she can through empowering newer students,

and motivating continuing students to keep their yoga practice authentic. email Tracy

Hannah Byrum first studied yoga while living abroad at Galway Yoga Centre in Ireland.

This Sevananda-style school gave her a firm foundation in the practices of Asana,

Pranayama, Meditation and Yoga Nidra. While living in NYC, Hannah studied at Integral

Yoga and upon returning to Chapel Hill (her home town), she continued expanding

her studies through Yin Yoga , Anusara Yoga , Bikram Yoga, and Vinyasa Yoga.

Scott Campbell took his first yoga class in Texas almost 35 years ago. Although fascinated by the experience, he detoured to L.A. for a career in acting, and amidst the craziness, explored the relationship between the mind, body, and the emotions. Seeking balance in his life, he returned to yoga some 7 years ago and used his practice to heal, ground, deepen, and expand what he learned as an actor. He is a student and teacher of Taoism and Tibetan Buddhism as well as Indian styles of yoga. His teaching reflects the eclectic mix of his background, using what works to help each student to uncover and move closer to their truth and the peace that eventually comes. email Scott

Stacey Cutbush's yogic path began through dance. 

She was hooked on dancing by the time she could tie her shoes. 

So—conscious movement and breath have always been a lifeline for her, ultimately

enabling a seamless transition to yoga in 1996.  Since then, she has become an

Ashtanga devotee, drawn both to the physical intensity and invigorating attention to the breath. 

Her study at the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Washington, D.C., ultimately prompted her to pursue a teaching path. 

She has since completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training.  Throughout this rich, life-long experience

with movement, Stacey has gleaned an intimate knowledge about and awareness/appreciation of the body. 

Teaching yoga has become a natural extension of this; it is part of her journey:  to teach what she knows.

       

Stacey experiences vinyasa-based yoga as a moving meditation—

a purposeful breathing exercise—paradoxically stimulating the body and quieting the mind. 

Her intention—both on and off her yoga mat—is healing for herself, for all people, and for the planet. 

In yoga, this looks like practicing deep respect and non-judgment toward ourselves and each other;

always doing our best, knowing full well that “our best” shifts during different life moments;

taking care of our bodies through safe yet dynamic exploration of our possibilities and limitations;

and certainly, having fun! email Stacey

 

 

 

Mike Dorman has been a devoted student of Anusara Yoga since January, 2005.

the greatest benefit of this heart-centered practice has empowered him in moving beyond his habits

and self-imposed limits. Mike's yoga journey has led him to realize a greater connections with others.

He has completed a Teacher Training with John Friend, and studied extensively with his local teachers,

Paul and Sommer Sobin and Lila Brown. Mike will complete his Anusara Teacher Training in June 2008.

When not practicing or teaching, he works to find the yoga in his marriage, cooking, programming computers

and playing very loud electric guitar. email Mike

 

 

Molly Drake has been practicing yoga since 1973. Through studying, practicing, and teaching Iyengar yoga, she gained respect for the intensity and awareness that one brings to practice. In pursuit of her own authentic expression of the spirit of Hatha Yoga, Molly has explored and studied with many nationally known teachers and has particpated in dozens of workshops and teacher trainings. Particularly inspired by the teachings of Angela Farmer and Victor vanKooten, Molly now teaches in a gentle, yet powerfully fluid, internal, open, and playful manner.

 

 

 

 

Her classes are not about rigid discipline or intense striving; she teaches the poses as a means to explore and study

our inner selves. She sees yoga as being about the empowerment of our inner being through the vehicle of our personal body--an internal exploration, a journey, a continual unfolding and revelation of our true self. email Molly

 

 

Having discovered Aerial Yoga four years ago, Rebecca performs and teaches this exotic new art form all over the country. Private instruction is also available. email Rebecca

Rebecca Drake fell in love with dance at an early age and has managed to live

her life devoted to creative movement. Her professional career as a dancer introduced her to yoga at The American Dance Festival, and it was there that she found her next calling through the innovative, yet physically challenging approach to yoga that was being taught by Tracy Bogart. She has studied with master teachers from all over the world, yet feels strongly influenced by Angela Farmer and Andrey Lappa. Rebecca gives new meaning to the word 'fluid' both physically and verbally. She emparts a relaxed effort in her teachings and is known for her poetic heart. Rebecca remains one of Triangle Yoga's finest examples of what it means to'practice what you preach'.

Dara Fort's first yoga class brought new-found physical and mental awakenings for her.

Being a competetive gymnast and dancer for years, yoga was a refreshingly non-competitive way to

feed her body while nurtring her soul. She found a sense of balance between having always pushed her edge

and learning to be where she was in a moment. Through this balance Dara began to realize yoga's ripple effect

within herself and within her community. Her relationships became stronger, her grip on life was softer and her

appreciation for the connectedness of the universe was finally realized. After a year of practice Dara decided she

wanted to teach. She wanted to spread the word, to share the gifts of this practice that others may not have experienced.

Erich Shiffmann was one of her first inspirations to teach and take her personal practice further. She became a certified

Level 1 and Level 2 Yoga Instructor and continued her education by attending classes and workshops. Over the next few

years Dara's life and learning was enriched further by teacher trainings and the births of my her daughters. Dara's favorite

"gurus" are David Swenson, Beryl Bender Birch, Ana Forrest, Doug Swenson and Seane Corn. Over the last nine years of teaching, Dara has learned more about life and people through the giving and recieving of this practice than any book,

teacher or formal education could ever provide. It has been a strong, continuous thread that has weaved itself into her

life and connected her to others...and for this, she is thankful for yoga. Email Dara

 

 

 

 

 

Amy Gorely has been teaching at Triangle Yoga since 2001.

She was attracted to yoga out of her lifelong love of movement and dance,

through yoga. She is a graduate of the Teacher Training Intensive at the

White Lotus Foundation, and has completed trainings in Prenatal

Yoga, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Flow Yoga, and Therapeutic Yoga.

She views yoga as a tool to explore and open the body, mind and spirit, and practices Vipassana Medita-tion which she credits for keeping her (fairly) sane. When not teaching, she is using her yoga practice to help her with the journey of being a new mom.

those around her, and ultimately to bring peace and healing to the world.Carrington registered with the Yoga Alliance as a

Jen Serio began practicing yoga in 1992 with the goal of regaining the energy and flexibility she enjoyed as a child. She soon became a dedicated student as she learned yoga would not only make her feel better physically but practice taught her how to quiet her mind, be present and to activate subtle energy and sensations lying dormant.

After studying with many gifted teachers near and far, Jen began teaching in 1999. In 2001 she completed the Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher Training at the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. While the focus on alignment and integrity found in Iyengar formed the basis for her teaching, the creativity and energy of contemporary teachers like Shiva Rea have helped Jen to find and embrace her natural affinity for letting go and allowing the breath to give life to the asanas.

As an adult mental health therapist and social worker, Jen encourages stress reduction, mindfulness, and authentic expression on and off the mat. Her eclectic practice leads students through unique sequences and she often asks students to smile, be playful and to connect with their inherent wisdom and joy. email Jen

Morris Arthur, creator of Triangle Yoga's database, 'Mula Bandha'.

 

'Mula Bandha' The application of Mula Bandha means drawing up the muscles of the perineum only, although difficult, practice contracting and relaxing the whole of the pelvic floor until muscle tone is gained. The importance of Mula Bandha is the foundation for core strength in the body.On a psychic level, the contraction of Mula Bandha also activates the base chakra, muladhara. This is the chakra for spiritual awakening and earth energy, and its activation can lead to rapid

progress in the spiritual aspects of yoga when the energy released is channelled in the right direction.
