Slideshow

"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 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

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.

Dr. 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.

Dev Inder Kaur (Maria Lemme) has been teaching Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, since 2015. She immediately fell in love with the practice upon taking her first class and has seen beautiful and positive shifts in her life as a result of kundalini yoga.

She is passionate about sharing the teachings of Kundalini Yoga to help others learn to work with their own energy to bring about positive shifts, healing, and growth in their own lives. Dev Inder completed her 200 hour training with Hari Kaur Khalsa in NYC, attaining her KRI certification. She continues to study and is working towards her 500 hours. In addition to teaching yoga, Dev Inder is also a figure skating instructor and a Reiki practitioner.

Emma Tillett, RYT 200, Certified Functional Nutrition and Life Coach

Emma has been practicing yoga for 12 years and earned her 200 hour certification through Rainbow Body Yoga’s training in 2020. Since the training, Emma has enjoyed practicing yoga and energy healing with family and friends and is working to integrate it into her coaching.

Emma’s journey with yoga began to expand her flexibility to further her practice in shotokan karate, in which she holds a 3rd degree black belt. Through yoga, Emma has found a way to deepen the connection between her own body and mind.

Emma took part in the training with the intention of furthering her understanding of the body and integrating yoga and reiki into her holistic healing approach. Emma is a certified health coach and life coach, specializing in functional nutrition. She loves to dive deep into healing through diet and lifestyle changes.

She hopes to continue to spread self awareness and love throughout the world.

Dee Jones, RYT 200

Dee is queer, nonbinary human.
They are a level 2 reiki practitioner, a 200 hour certified yoga instructor, tarot reader, and 13th Octave LaHoChi practitioner. They are also an artist, songwriter, and poet.  They use their gifts to provide safe space for their clients and students to feel held, seen, and nurtured on their healing journeys. Dee has been actively practicing as a community healer for two years now and their main goal is to simply hold space and heal with others. Since receiving their certification to teach yoga they have used their creativity to combine yoga, reiki, tarot, and meditation in their healing practice. This has been quite transformational for both their business and their own personal healing journey.


Reiki and yoga found Dee 5 years ago when they had been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury that causes numbness and disconnection from many parts of their physical self. Through yoga and energy work, Dee has been able to ignite a loving and compassionate relationship with all parts of their body, numb or not. Yoga truly helped save them from a scarcity mindset full of fear to a mindset of love and abundance; bringing a deep sense of gratitude and trust in  themself. 

They are looking forward to helping shape and nurture new teachers and healers in the community through teaching at these trainings. It  is both a privilege and honor that they do not take lightly. learn more @dees.healing.hands

"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 


"The training was wonderful! I am SO grateful to have studied with RBY. Cleo is such a wise teacher and I learned so much." - Natalya

"I have been wanting to complete yoga teacher training for a few years. I'm so happy that I found Cleo at Rainbow Body Yoga! She provided a transformation journey during our yoga teacher training that was packed full of learning and teaching opportunities. If you're looking for the complete package when it comes to your yoga teacher training - Rainbow Body Yoga is a must!" - Jenna

"Loved the class so much! Great teachers and curriculum." - Alli

"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 

​"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

"Cleo's wise and seasoned disposition allowed for a smooth, fun and sometimes personally challenging intensive training. She has a really wonderful way about bringing the group together and carrying a powerful and unseen force when transmitting all of this yogic knowledge. You cant help but listen and hang on to every word! Plus the diversity in the programming really allowed for a vast wise and expansive knowledge on a lot of topics related to yoga, on and off the mat, not just asana. I was worried 2 weeks would be too fast, however we used this time to fully integrate and practice the training's instantaneously so there was really no time to forget. The killer venue and amazing food was just icing and sprinkles on the cake at that point!"  - Val ​

"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
