"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

Teachers

Cleo Post, Owner & Director Rainbow Body Yoga, E-RYT 500, B.A. Yoga

Cleo has been teaching yoga for 11 years and practicing yoga for 13 years, starting at an instructors house in the magical woods near Canaan, NY. The connection with the birds, the stream running outside, the breath, and the yoga poses expanded her awareness and consciousness. Her love for yoga blossomed and brought her to complete her 200hr yoga teacher training from Kripalu in 2011 and a couple years later to Naropa University where she received her 1000hr yoga teacher training and B.A. in Yoga in December 2013. The yoga program at Naropa enabled her to dive deeply into the ancient yogic texts, the practice of asana, the study of Sanskrit, and yoga nidra. Cleo has studied under many amazing teachers, and has gained insight through experimenting with different yoga styles, which ultimately enabled her to find her own distinct teaching method and flow. Cleo opened Rainbow Body Yoga in 2014 and is thrilled to offer and share the joy, peace, happiness, love, calmness, and serenity that yoga brings to all that come to practice.

Growing up in Upstate New York, nature has always been a huge part of Cleo's connection with herself and the world. This love of the plant world brought her to study herbalism and ultimately heal herself.

Cleo has studied Herbalism for the past 8 years. She has studied with renowned herbal teachers, Rosemary Gladstar, Brigitte Mars, and Michael Tierra. Her love of plants brought her to study and learn about plant consciousness & communication.

Cleo has been practicing Energy Healing, in a form called Quantum Level Soul Healing. A blend of shamanic healing, quantum healing, and other healing modalities to access one's full soul healing. www.quantumlevelsoulhealing.com

Tiffany Simoncini, 300 hr RYT, Ayurvedic Therapist

“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.” – Thomas Szasz

Tiffany was born and raised in New York City, but to her India feels more like home. She has been teaching yoga and other mindfulness techniques for over 7 years and practicing for more than 10. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Mystical Yoga Farm in Guatemala. Her training focused on a Hatha/Vinyasa flow, alignment, spirituality, chanting, meditation and Ayurveda. She also completed various other trainings including a 50-hour hands on adjustments training at Laughing Lotus, NYC and a 50-hour trauma-informed yoga training with Connection Coalition. She is also a certified Ayurvedic therapist and essential oil educator. Her teaching style now includes Vinyasa as well as yin, restorative, yoga wall, and even laughter yoga. For the past 5 years, she has been traveling and leading retreats, classes and workshops all around the globe, including places like: New York, California, Colorado, Scotland, England, Croatia, India, Argentina, Nicaragua, Panama and Colombia. Her passion for teaching comes from a deep strive for facilitating growth and acceptance in a constantly changing world.

Chloe Higgins, RYT 200

Chloe has been practicing yoga since she was 15 years old. Her passion for & experience with the limitless healing powers of yoga led her to pursue her RYT-200 hr certification from Rainbow Body Yoga in Red Hook, NY. She believes yoga is the stilling of the changing tides of the mind, allowing us to come home to ourselves and feel true peace. Her goal as a teacher is to share the magic healing & connectedness of yoga with others. She believes if we all take the time to care for ourselves & raise our own vibration, we can collectively make the world a better place.

Chloe has been working with Tarot cards for 4 years, doing readings for herself & close friends for the most part. She has found the power of Tarot to be incredibly healing and an insightful tool for growth. She believes Tarot allows us to transcend the ego & find that all the answers we seek are within.

Kristina Jamo, RYT 200, PT, DPT

Kristina discovered yoga during graduate school while seeking a healthy outlet to reduce stress and manage chronic migraines. Excited to share the joy and healing she found with others she pursued her RYT 200 and reiki attunements through Rainbow Body Yoga in June of 2018.

Kristina has a deep love for anatomy, kinesiology (the science of movement), and witnessing others take control of their healing journeys. Since her practice as a physical therapist and a yoga instructor began at the same time, the two fields naturally began to merge. She prides herself in introducing yoga to her patients healing from musculoskeletal conditions and utilizing her knowledge of the body and movement to craft her yoga classes. Her goal is to empower others in discovering their self-healing abilities while spreading awareness of the roles both physical and energetic anatomies have in overall wellness.

"Since the yoga retreat my life has changed so much for the better. I feel so empowered and inspired to spread knowledge and wisdom to others. Getting certified in yoga has improved my life and helped me to lead a happy, healthy life, loving what I do and guiding others on their own path to self love and healing." - Carmela

"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

"YTT with Rainbow Body Yoga was truly a life transforming experience. I cannot recommend this program enough. I learned all that I sought after and I discovered things about myself I didn't even know I needed to find." - Kristina

“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

"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
