About Parting Clouds Yoga: Parting Clouds Yoga embodies a profound journey of revelation and clarity, symbolized by the Qi Gong movement that inspired its name. Established in 2009 by Steve and Nancy Sloan, both Reiki masters and certified yoga teachers with extensive training from the Amrit Yoga Institute, Parting Clouds Yoga has been a beacon of healing and community in Perrysburg, Ohio, and beyond. Their daughter Phoebe, infused with a lifelong passion for yoga, joined them after completing her own teacher training in Seattle. Together, they found a nurturing home at Tonic, Maumee, where they cultivated a vibrant wellness community. Today, despite the loss of Steve, the dream of a family yoga studio lives on through Parting Clouds Yoga, now located in Maumee. With deep gratitude for the journey that brought them here, Phoebe and Nancy continue to honor their legacy, offering a sanctuary for others to embark on their yoga journey and find clarity amidst life's transitions.
