Certified Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor
I am Tracy Viergela Pierre, a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and a 500-hour certified yoga instructor through the renowned Yoga Institute in Mumbai, India, the world’s oldest yoga institute. As the founder of YITDOTS YOGA.
The Heart of YITDOTS YOGA
YITDOTS YOGA , which stands for "Yoga Is The Dance Of The Soul," isn't just a practice; it's a heartfelt mission to bring healing and empowerment to everyone. We combine traditional yoga practices with the vibrant, rhythmic movements of Afro-Caribbean dance, crafting a therapeutically meditative dance that nurtures both body and soul. This blend offers a beautiful path to mindfulness through movement, making wellness accessible to all who seek to release emotional and physical disquiet.
YITDOTS YOGA: Yoga is the Dance of the Soul
One of my most memorable experiences was teaching YITDOTS YOGA to disadvantaged and marginalized children in Haiti. There, I combined traditional yoga with dance yoga, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of movement and mindfulness.
Teaching in Taipei, Taiwan
In Taipei, Taiwan, I had the honor of teaching yoga and meditation to young Buddhist children and their parents at the temple. This experience deepened my sense of community and cultural connection, bringing peace and joy to all involved.
Yoga in the Natural Beauty of India
Another cherished memory is from India, where I took yoga classes in a nature-filled park, surrounded by playful monkeys jumping from tree to tree. These organic sessions, conducted on makeshift mats, were a unique blend of nature and practice. Even from the U.S., I continue these classes online, maintaining bonds of friendship that transcend borders.
A Year of Silence in Haiti
In 2021, I embarked on a year of silence in Haiti, traveling through eight of the country's ten departments. Despite the country's insecurity and the assassination of its president, I found a deep sense of reflection and transformation. I learned that silence does not negate the ability to communicate and influence, as I remained connected to my daughter and mother through technology. This period taught me the profound impact of intentions and body language, revealing that communication goes beyond words. The experience, long-awaited after my daughter Harmony Divine went off to college, was both challenging and enlightening, reinforcing my commitment to mindfulness and self-discovery. To stay informed to current events in Haiti, I regularly tune into radio stations these two stations, Eritye Papa Desalin and Haiti Our Revolution Continues, which provide accurate and insightful news from a Haitian progressive perspective.
Living in Atlanta, Georgia
Currently, I reside in the Atlanta, Georgia area, a vibrant city known for its thriving real estate market and booming film industry. Atlanta offers a wealth of opportunities for both personal and professional growth. The city's diverse culture and beautiful parks provide the perfect backdrop for YITDOTS YOGA practice, whether you're in a serene park setting or a state-of-the-art studio. With the right realtor, you can find the perfect home to suit your needs, embracing the unique energy and opportunities that Atlanta has to offer.

Infusing Contemporary Movements and Music
Our practice isn’t limited to traditional Haitian folklore and yoga. YITDOTS Yoga embraces contemporary movement styles and music, drawing inspiration from African dance, jazz, soft rock, R&B, and hip-hop. This creates a dynamic and engaging experience that encourages creativity and joy in movement. Each session is designed to be both challenging and enjoyable, allowing you to explore new forms of expression.
