Feel Good, Do Good . . .
We believe in the ripple effect that is created with a consistent Yoga practice. As we create a positive difference within ourselves, we also influence others; this not only impacts them, but everyone else on their journey as well. When we feel good, we do good . . . and that is The Yoga Effect.
The Yoga Effect is a warm, supportive, inclusive community founded in 2010. We believe in:
- The power of inner and outer connection
- Turning inward to foster self-love, compassion and understanding
- Walking more gently on this planet with those same qualities for others

Marla Tracy
Yoga Teacher E-RYT-200
Marla is thrilled to be teaching at the Yoga Effect! She began practicing yoga when her late husband began his journey and found the benefits to be extremely powerful in his life. Although she was very active and fit (running was her exercise of choice), she felt she was missing a way to calm her mind, slow herself down, engage her spirit and enjoy the present moment; Yoga has certainly been the answer.
Marla believes that when something is going on in one’s mind it manifests itself in our body and spirit; coming to her mat and practicing yoga better prepares for many of life’s challenges moving forward with grace and peace.

Her journey began with Barbara Spietz of Awakenings Yoga, whose emphasis on accessibility helped shape Stacy’s inclusive teaching style. She still remembers struggling to hold a 10-second downward dog in that first class but quickly discovered that yoga was never just about the poses. It’s about connecting to the breath, building a strong foundation, and embracing the inner stillness that ignites true transformation.
As her love for yoga grew, Stacy
found a second home at The Yoga Effect, where she immersed herself in the practice and the welcoming community. In 2016, she earned her RYT-200 certification through the Emerald Heart Yoga School under the guidance of Mara Campbell, marking the beginning of her teaching journey, a path of continuous growth and discovery.
in presence, patience, and
self-compassion, Stacy believes yoga is not about achieving the perfect pose but about creating space physically, mentally, and emotionally to reconnect with the divine within.
