Tracy is a certified Qigong Infused Yoga™ teacher. This practice is a fusion of Gentle Yoga and Qigong combined to offer the benefits of both ancient healing arts practices. Qigong Infused Yoga™ is a tranquil, beneficial and powerful mind-body practice that relieves physical, mental and emotional tension effectively.

Held on the Monday 4pm class closest to the Full Moon each month.

Join me once a month under the Full Moon for a deeply nourishing restorative yoga practice designed to help you slow down, release, and reset. This gentle class invites you to soften your body, quiet your mind, and reconnect with your inner rhythms.

We’ll use supportive poses, calming breath, and mantra sound healing to soothe the nervous system and create space for reflection and renewal. Each Full Moon offers an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves and return to yourself with clarity and ease.

Come as you are and leave feeling lighter, restored, and realigned.

Tracy’s Yoga Expertise

Tracy Murdoch, owner of Balance to Bliss Yoga, provides a hands-on assist to a female student raising her arm over her head in a seated position. A male student follows along to the side.

I have been teaching yoga on the south shore of Nova Scotia since 2011. I studied at Therapeutic Approach Yoga Studio in Halifax for my 200-hr and 500-hr certifications. I have also studied with Destiny Goldsberry for Forrest yoga in California, Biff Mithoefer for yin yoga, and Barrie Risman for alignment-based, heart-centred hatha yoga.

I found yoga at a particularly difficult time in my life, and I don’t believe that was a coincidence. Years later, my yoga practice (which happens both on and off the mat) continues to help me reduce anxiety and stress in my life. Not to mention that I am physically stronger and more flexible than I’ve ever been.

To me, yoga means rest and work at the same time. It is a time for me to get away from the busy-ness of my life and focus on myself for awhile, which allows my mind to slow down and settle. Asana, the physical practice of yoga, also works my body in a way that I don’t get anywhere else in my daily life. The work is in the stretching and strengthening of the muscles, and in the focus and attention that I give to each pose. The more attention that I give to my body as I do yoga, the more I find that I get out of the practice. And at the end, I always feel more peace within myself than I did before I started.
