Meet Traci Lundstrom of All Around Yoga LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Traci Lundstrom.

Hi Traci, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve worn many labels over the years…Nurse, Wife, Mother, Student, Teacher, Fitness Professional, Grandmother! But I wouldn’t have seen myself as a Yogi! Yoga was a mythical tale of monks on the mountain, controlling their bodies and minds. Even though my curiosity was piqued, it felt out of reach for me. As for many people, I was introduced to yoga during a time of trauma. It was a pivotal moment when I felt completely alone, disconnected and broken. But in that brokenness, I was ready to try something new. My yoga teacher, Nancy Candea, met me in that broken place, and showed me that the practice was for anyone, anywhere, anytime. The practice brought me a sense of connection that I had never had before, and I haven’t lost since.
Throughout my journey, I recognized that we all share the same struggles. They manifest in different ways, but we all seek that sense of connection. I also recognized that too many of us exist in a place where that feels unattainable. I started sharing the news of yoga to anyone who would listen. In working with some local jails, I developed the Transitional Yoga Program through All Around Yoga in 2011. With a dedicated team of yogi warriors, we meet people where they are, offering them a path to finding that connection that we all need… finding the connection that we all deserve.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Covid has made an impact on the ability to reach inside the institutions, but we are excited to navigate new opportunities as virtual trainings and classes become a new avenue for sharing the practice. While I have never thought of myself as tech-savvy, I learned how to google tutorials and found economical tools for video edits and creating courses and trainings that can expand. Out of that, I had my first International student earn her 200 hour Yoga Teacher certification in 2021 from France!

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
All Around Yoga came to fruition in 2011. It was initially created to offer yoga classes to under-served populations. The journey began in the Boulder County Jail, and expanded out in the community for everyone to find connection! As the program grew, it expanded to other counties, offered more classes & mentor-ships, and even offers scholarships and sliding-scale rates for Yoga Teacher Trainings. The mission is to help everybody find connection through the practice of yoga. It isn’t exclusive, it isn’t reserved, it isn’t designated… It is available to any of us!

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Back in my younger years I was the front-woman of a rock band in Pennsylvania. I wrote songs, played rhythm guitar and sang!
