Cloud Nine Yoga Time

Patricia Thompson:  Yoga with Patricia is like hot Hatha Soup - an eclectic mix of influences and intention, encouraging students to recognize their innate wisdom and unbounded joy. Come feed your soul with connection to the breath, postures that challenge and strengthen, and union with that which is universal.

Amy Caldwell:  Amy has  trained in the disciplines of Ashtanga (Tim Miller, BNS Iyengar), Sivananda (Swami Sivanand, India), Iyengar (Roger Cole, Jo Zukovich) and Anusara (Diana Beardsley) combining elements of these styles into a dynamic alignment-based flow. She and her loving husband Michael have studied Vipassana meditation and incorporate its teachings of awareness into Yoga One and life with their two beautiful children.

Michael Caldwell:  Michael has been practicing yoga and incorporating its philosophy into his life since 1997. He has studied with Swami Sivanand and Roger Cole, as well as with his wife Amy, and continues to practice a blend of Sivananda, Ashtanga and Iyengar techniques along with Vipassana medititation. Michael's kind and gentle manner is well suited to leading students of all levels. A writer, he has published numerous articles on yoga, meditation and well-being.

Simon 'Karta' Ballard (pictured above):  Pranashakti is the primordial cosmic energy inherent in breath (Prana is the Sanskrit for "Breath" and Shakti means sacred force or empowerment). It is the primordial cosmic energy or the conscious connection through breath. Weaving Sacred movements in alignment with the Breath this form of Yoga is Invigorating, Empowering, and Heart Opening creating Sacred Space for you to embark on an incredible journey beyond the physical body, guiding you deep into the realms of the energetic, intuitive, subtle mind, reconnecting you to the true self and taking you to a place of peace, love, surrender, stillness, and physical bliss.

Giselle Abadie: The Gong is the primal whisper of the soul, it is the sound that created the world, the sound within all sounds. Learning and exploring the Planetary Gongs, Tibetan Bowls, tuning fork has been my passion, and the greatest healing method I can share. I also am a Kundalini Yoga teacher, as taught by and am studying the Ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, working with the five elements healing the body with food, herbs, and lifestyle management. I am exploring the divine teachings of Osho through Vigyan Bhairav of Tantra and Mahasatvaa Ma Ananda Sarita. In essence, it is simply the art of being aware of what is going on inside and around us, with that centeredness everyday life is in meditation.
