OUR MISSION
Cloud Nine Yoga invokes the soul of every living being to awaken and act from their supreme nature with gratitude and play. We compassionately and blissfully empower ready beings to open their hearts and minds to experience their full potential through various types of yoga instruction, leadership training, community gatherings, healing retreats, and uplifting endeavors.
Yoga began in India about 5000 years ago. It emerged from the practice of meditation and prayer, as a way to center the mind for meditation and stretch the body after sitting for long periods of time. But we are standing on the shoulders of the past — seeing beyond what the early yogis needed in their time. Yoga’s essence and fundamental teachings are to calm the mental chatter and train seekers to experience equanimity. Cloud Nine Yoga brings peace, playfulness and inquiry to this ancient practice.
