Tracy Moore, 500 RYT, 200 E-RYT, YACEP

Tracy started her yoga practice over 15 years ago after a move to San Diego from the Midwest. New to the city, yoga provided a much-needed space to connect to a community. She found her passion for vinyasa style yoga and breath-to-movement flow style classes. She noticed after yoga, she felt more calm and less anxious. As her yoga journey continued, she came to love many styles of yoga that she blends into her classes. She is certified in Power yoga, Yin yoga, Gentle Flow & Restorative yoga.

She completed her 200-hour teacher training at CorePower Yoga in 2018 and her 300-hour advanced teaching training at Soul of Yoga to become a 500 RYT in 2023. She loves to teach and share her passion for yoga. Her teaching goals are to offer her students a welcoming space to explore their yoga practice and find confidence in their own practice. She loves to infuse yoga philosophy into her classes and teach ways for students to bring their practice off their mats and into their own lives.

Sheri

Sheri's yoga journey began in 2016 when she took a college course in yoga, which introduced her to the philosophy and history of yoga. Since then, Sheri has used yoga as a tool to find inner peace and a deeper connection to her mind, body, and breath. The benefits of yoga that she experienced inspired her to dive even deeper and learn how to share these benefits with others. She received her 200-Hour Teacher Certificate in San Diego and teaches with the intention of guiding her students to find comfort and strength in their bodies through a deep connection to their breath. Outside of the studio, she takes any opportunity to be outside, which includes camping, climbing, and paddle boarding! She is excited to be a part of the Mello Yoga community!

Michelle Bulda

Michelle’s personal yoga practice began humbly. She stumbled upon yoga while searching for the ever-elusive “perfect work-out” to keep in shape. Little did she know that this would end up being her lifeline through the years. It has carried her through the physical challenges and emotional roller coasters that life brings. She has come to depend on yoga for both physical and mental health. The evolution of her practice, along with opportunities and synchronicities, led her to complete her Teacher Training in 2023. She has been a part of the Mello community as a student, and is now thrilled to be able to share her energy and passions and give back to that community as a teacher. She enjoys all class formats, from vinyasa free flow to slow flow and yin. Her perfect class is one that leaves you feeling strong, flexible, grounded, and balanced. She believes that yoga is a powerful tool that every human can utilize in incredible ways. If she can be a part of sharing this magic with others, as a catalyst for healing and growth, that is her true reward.

As an English master, Michelle infuses her classes with poetic use of imagery exemplifying the yogic philosophical tenets while teaching not only how to do the postures, but how to connect deeply to your body, mind, and heart.
