Our 200-hour Yoga Training stands out from the crowd. Since 2002, Cloud Nine Yoga School has been helping people from all walks of life to experience the ancient techniques from Hatha Yoga in a modern light. We embrace Yoga as a healing modality and teach practices that demonstrate direct results. Asana is accomplished not through force or perfection of bodily appearances but by care and deep listening from the inside. Meditation spontaneously arrives when the proper atmosphere is created and sustained – yet many of us need motivation and guidance in HOW to support it. Our teachers are more like tour guides, pointing out possibilities for exploration and engaging your attention with easy step-by-step cues.

Whether working with the physical body to regain better functionality or shifting a mindset from stress to rest, we believe a conscious breath is the key. When you join us on the mat, you’ll feel empowered to find your inner authority by feeling, understanding, and addressing all sensations. This feedback loop opens a doorway to feeling energy move freely and a sense of close connection with inner stability. Your bones will vibrate, and your heart will sing. A higher level of connection with the wholeness existing with the Self simultaneously infuses the present moment. Practicing postures is just one part of a complete system of grace, movement, and stillness, whereby our school teaches you to frame your efforts on the mat in balance with a compassionate attitude. These principles infuse us in every way as we live the teachings.

Are you compelled to bring more playfulness into your Yoga practice? Do you want to increase patience, presence, and transformation into your precious life? We are a community that will inspire you to do all of that. Train with us, and you will be more fully alive, free, and joyous on and off the mat!
