New Year, New Path: In-person yoga teacher training launches January 16 in Natchitoches

A new year is bringing a new opportunity for growth, movement and purpose as Imagine More Yoga announces the start of its next in-person yoga teacher training and immersion programs, launching January 16 in Natchitoches.

Led by Cle’lie Aubin, an experienced registered yoga teacher (ERYT 500) and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), the nine-month program offers two distinct paths: a 200-hour Yoga Alliance–registered teacher training for those ready to step into teaching, and a deepening immersion track for students who want to expand their personal practice without the full teaching commitment.

Both options are designed to meet participants where they are, in a small-group setting that emphasizes connection, discipline and personal transformation.

Training weekends will be held once a month from January 16 through August 30, 2026, with sessions running from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for teacher trainees. The immersion path offers a lighter time investment, meeting one weekend per month for shorter daily sessions. Space is limited to maintain the program’s intimate and hands-on approach.

Participants in the teacher training program will study foundational breathwork, class sequencing and theming, functional anatomy for healthy alignment, and subtle body concepts such as breath awareness, chakras and the koshas. The curriculum also explores yoga philosophy, key historical texts, the Yoga Sutras, lifestyle practices and an introduction to Ayurveda, all aimed at building confident, informed and ethical teachers.

Beyond the training space, Imagine More Yoga continues to expand its reach through “Yoga to You” services, offering private, corporate and in-home sessions across the region. Specialized packages are also available for sports teams, with programming tailored to support mobility, recovery, focus and mental resilience—tools that translate directly to performance both on and off the field.

Aubin’s approach blends structure with compassion, earning praise from students of all ages and experience levels. Past participants describe her classes as grounding, accessible and deeply rewarding, noting her ability to create a calm yet disciplined environment that helps students feel supported and capable, even if they are new to yoga.

In addition to training and instruction, Imagine More Gallery is also offering picture framing services, now in full swing with an average turnaround time of one to two weeks, further expanding the creative and community-centered offerings available through the studio.

The full 200-hour teacher training is a $3,000 investment, with monthly payment options available. The deepening immersion program is offered at $900. A $100 application fee is required to hold a space in the January cohort.

Those interested in beginning a yoga teaching journey—or simply deepening their practice in a meaningful, guided way—are encouraged to act soon as spots are limited.
