Hear from those who found magic here

"When I was searching for a YTT I didn’t really know what I was looking for, but I did know I wanted something that I felt aligned with. When I read what we would learn during the 2 weeks of the wild and rooted training I immediately got excited, who doesn’t want to grow as a yogi on a beautiful vineyard?! This excitement cannot match what I came out of this training with. Between being able to confidently guide yoga classes and meditations and taking a deep dive into the chakras, my heart started to open and creativity was pouring out of me. Through the 2 weeks I experienced deep emotions and having a group of people around to hear me and show me love during that was incredible. The energy healing and herbalism were aspects I didn’t even consider would be a large part of the training but they were some of the most prolific days to me. Cleo and the others throughout the training were so supportive and this experience was truly transformational. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to explore themselves and wants to do it with nature at your fingertips." - Emma

"My 200 hr YTT with Cleo was the best decision I've made in my 11+ year history as a fitness instructor and lover of yoga. The immersive training prepared me to teach yoga that is true to form and tradition, but also taught me how to embrace my own unique style of teaching. Since my training, I've led so many successful yoga classes, yoga combo classes, special workshops, and guided meditations. Cleo's training gave me the confidence to not only teach yoga, but also to confidently get out into the world and share my gifts. Her whole self approach really cracked me wide open and allowed me to discover interests in so many healing modalities in addition to yoga, and I am so grateful to have had such a thorough training that went so far beyond the asana practice of yoga and deep into the philosophy as well. In all honesty, she enlightened me." - Allison

"Cleo and Rainbow Body Yoga changed my life — no exaggeration. The course description ensures a class of like-minded individuals, and there was a real power in that togetherness. Each day's programming was curated with such intention and care, and its depth and breadth were carefully balanced, giving me a broad platform to continue my education after completing the course. I'm so, so grateful to Cleo and her team for such a positive experience from which to start my yoga teaching journey." - Erin

"My training at Rainbow Body Yoga left me feeling confident in my ability to not only lead classes but also in the understanding of why we do yoga. Our program was very thoughtfully put together, it was fun and challenging in all of the right ways, and in such a beautiful location. Cleo is amazing, I am so grateful to have taken my first training with her!" - Annie

"I can not recommend the Wild and Rooted YTT enough. It was an absolutely incredible experience that was truly transformative. The knowledge and modalities shared throughout the training are priceless when considering the positive impact they have had on my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. The training helped me cultivate a deeper connection with myself, yoga, and the natural world. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Cleo." - Joey-Lynn

"I knew that teacher training would be a life-changing experience, but I didn't know the depths of transformation and beauty I would experience in the capable presence of Cleo and the Rainbow Body family. Cleo holds space for her students as if they are her dear loved ones. She sees the potential, beauty, and light in every being, and has such a unique way of walking gently alongside you while you begin to unfurl, blossom, and see it for yourself. Our training (which began indoors just before the pandemic, endured a months-long pause, then ended while socially-distanced outdoors nine months later) required flexibility and adaptation from all of us, especially Cleo. She gracefully held space for all of it and guided us through the twists and turns with her patient way. Our training provided a wonderful foundational study of Yoga history and philosophy via the reading and discussion of traditional and modern texts, a study of Ayurvedic principles and anatomy, a thorough understanding of the practice of Yoga Asana and how to properly queue Asana postures, an understanding of how to build and prepare for a Yoga class, a beginner's look at herbal medicine (right in Cleo's backyard medicinal garden), and so much more. Bonus: the delicious, nourishing vegan food Cleo provided during training! All throughout the training and now many months after, I still feel so deeply inspired to continue teaching and to continue learning about Yoga and deepening my own practice. Cleo nurtured not only my curiosity about Yoga as a healing practice but also my belief in myself. I'm endlessly grateful to her and the Rainbow family. If I could complete the teacher training all over again, I wouldn't hesitate." - Kristen

"The Rainbow Body two week yoga teacher training program was an immersive and enlightening experience. The program focused on the balance of body, mind, and spirit. Cleo is an experienced, knowledgeable, and exemplary teacher. Her calm energy and patient approach allow the student to feel comfortable with the learning process. I was able to gain the skills I wanted to acquire and apply them effectively in my life and my work." - Conny

“My gut told me to participate in Cleo’s immersive YTT retreat and I am so very glad I listened. I felt supported and safe to be my self from the moment I arrived on the farm. I appreciated being able to tune in to the natural world while learning, as most other trainings take place indoors. I also enjoyed the lessons on other healing modalities (e.g., tarot, herbalism, and ayurveda) that Cleo included in our syllabus. This illustrated the idea that while yoga is a powerful practice, it is even more beneficial when a part of a multifaceted holisitic healing routine. Cleo’s training empowered me to embrace my gifts, find/use my voice, and honor the calling I feel to help others heal and I am forever grateful for that. But most of all, I am grateful for the connections I made as I keep in touch with many of the beautiful beings I met and they continue to inspire me well beyond the training!” - Laura

​"Cleo Post & Rainbow Body 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Intensive far exceeded any expectations I might have had or hoped for. It was one of the single best decisions I've made as she was the most wonderful teacher and perfect example of a Yogi." - Loretta

"My experience training with Cleo was absolutely magical. The education was inclusive, included the History of Yoga, Yogic philosophy, postures, anatomy, and ethics of teaching. Cleo also granted my cohort the gift of introducing us to herbalism. This was, by far, the most special part of training, as it was clear that Cleo's knowledge of plants and their spiritual realm runs deeply. As a Queer, Black individual seeking a reputable Registered Yoga School, I am more than happy that I took the leap and chose Rainbow Body Yoga. I feel very prepared to teach, and that's all thanks to the tools I gained during these two weeks. In addition to learning various healing techniques, we were able to practice self-love, compassion and most importantly - bringing our most authentic selves to our Yoga practice." - Jahmar
