“Cloud Nine Yoga is one of the few yoga programs the really offers high quality education across the board- anatomical to spiritual. The teachers are living their yoga. It’s about not only being a really solid teacher on the physical level but also understanding how to apply yogic principles in your life…Furthermore, there are a lot of pop-up, newer teacher training programs, and I appreciate that this is one from people who have been living and practicing their yoga for decades. This is one of the oldest and most solid YTT programs in the USA and beyond.” 5-star review By: Ayurveda by Siva

We include elements of slow, meditative flow through Sun and Moon Salutations, Standing and Balancing Poses, Supported Inversions, Seated Forward Bends, Hip/Heart Openers, Twisting, and Yin/Restore Relaxation techniques with the majority of our sequences. Practices are generously supplemented with therapeutics such as AcuYoga (Acupressure & Yoga), Mantra & Mudra (Subtle Energy Healing), Somatic Yoga & Neural Re-Programming (Trauma Healing), and Yoga Nidra with Sound Healing (Progressive, Guided Relaxation & Pratyahara).
