2025 promises to be a year of growth and self-discovery as a transformative Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program prepares to launch in Natchitoches. Designed for practitioners of all levels, this in-person, intimate experience combines the art of teaching yoga with a deep dive into self-awareness and community connection.
Training Overview The Yoga Teacher Training program runs from now to August 3, adopting a mindful, one-weekend-per-month format. The journey begins and ends with two Friday evenings from 4:30-7 PM. Participants will earn a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200) certification through Yoga Alliance, equipping them to lead safe and effective yoga classes.
For those who decide not to pursue teaching, additional certificates are available, making the program’s benefits easily transferable should students have a change of heart.
Key Highlights:
Limited to just 8 participants to ensure personal attention.
Sessions held at a serene home studio in Natchitoches and The Yoga Spot, fostering community and growth.
Opportunities to learn from esteemed yoga therapist Kelsy Davis, who specializes in evidence-based practices for mental and physical well-being.
Kelsy Davis, a Certified Yoga Therapist and Natchitoches resident of 10 years, will guide trainees through select weekends in June and July. Known for her therapeutic approach, Davis blends traditional yoga techniques with modern practices to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
