About Alaska Mobile Yoga

Hi, I’m Tracy Johnson, and I’m so happy you’re here.

My yoga journey began in the early 1990s, long before I ever imagined teaching. As an avid runner, I was naturally inflexible, and that gave me a unique perspective: yoga was never about forcing myself into pretzel shapes. It was about listening—really listening—to my body. When I began teaching friends and family around 2000, they immediately connected with my relatable approach, and I soon realized that sharing yoga was part of my purpose.

In 2012, I completed my 200-hour VajraPani Yoga Teacher Training at the Shasta Yoga Institute in Mount Shasta, California, under the guidance of Amy Cooper and Mona Therese Winston. That experience changed the way I understood yoga. It taught me that yoga is, at its core, a practice of coming home to the body.

I went on to deepen my training with a 300-hour certification through My Vinyasa Practice in Austin, Texas in 2021 under Michelle Young. Today, I am an E-RYT 500 teacher and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, with more than 2,000 teaching hours beyond certification.

My teaching is designed for people who want to live fully and move freely—especially beginners and older practitioners. My eclectic, adaptable style offers modifications for every pose so students can explore a version that feels safe, accessible, and supportive for their unique body. I also draw on over a decade of experience as a personal trainer to craft practices that help students feel stronger, more open, and more at ease in daily life.

In addition to my E-RYT 500 training, I hold specialized credentials in Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Chair Yoga. I am also a Reiki Master, and I often weave Reiki into my yoga sessions as an optional, complementary modality.

My ongoing studies include in-depth human anatomy coursework with Leslie Kaminoff and Gil Hedley at the Institute for Anatomical Research in Colorado Springs, CO. Hands-on study of human tissues has profoundly shaped the way I teach, allowing me to meet every student where they are with compassion and clarity.

Before my yoga and fitness career, I worked as a Wildlife Biologist after earning my Bachelor of Science in Ecology from Rutgers University in 1996—a path that continues to fuel my deep love of nature.

When I’m not teaching or practicing, you’ll find me outside: backpacking, hiking, cross-country skiing in the backcountry, cooking for my family, gardening, or playing with my German Shepherds and Alaskan Husky sled dogs.

I’m thrilled to bring Alaska Mobile Yoga to you and to share a practice that inspires presence, strength, and connection.
