Elan Adams

Yukta: One connected with Divine Spirit, the ultimate goal of the yogi. I am honored to bring the ancient practice of yoga to The Reunion of Spirits. Hatha yoga is a tantric method of yoga postures to embody philosophy through conscious movement and breath. And at its most simple nature asks the seeker to look no further than within to find the pulse of the shared divine all around us. Having practiced yoga for over 15 years, and teaching for 8 of those years, I have learned that If you have a breathing body you can do yoga! I am excited and honored to be given the chance to teach at this beautiful festival and I look forward to bringing you a well rounded yoga class to reunite you to your own self.

Clelie Aubin

 Growing up in Saint Francisville Louisiana, Cle’lie spent most of her childhood connecting with nature and enjoying the terrain of the Tunica Hills. During her youth, she traveled most of the United States with her mother Chestee Harrington and in 2002 they settled in New Iberia for a while. Cle’lie began to search for a means of serenity (an escape from anxiety). Ultimately, wanting to detach from the past and fully emerge in the present moment. She began her yogic journey as an adolescent through silent meditation and breath awareness. During her first physical yoga class (at age sixteen) she found the combination of Pranayama (Breath control) and Asana (Posture) positively life altering! At age nineteen she relocated to South Padre Island, Texas to enjoy relief from severe constant allergies. She went on to participate in leadership programs/self -discovery retreats at Sunrise Ranch, Colorado, which eventually lead her back to a yoga path. After traveling, she studied Art at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and Business and Computer Technology at South Louisiana Community College in New Iberia, she then opened her business Imagine More, which was established in 2010. In 2013 she followed her heart to Denham Springs, where she was married and reopened her business. In her free time Cle’lie enjoys listening and playing music, spending time with husband and two children(Jacob ten, Sophia two), nature activities (hiking, gardening, climbing anything, etc.), traveling, adventuring, and engaging in a variety of artistic endeavors including: Wood carving, oil painting, drawing, face painting, picture framing, canvas/wood/wall commissions. She also enjoys listening to philosophical lectures on the Cosmos, Quantum Theory, and the nature of spirituality. As a Yoga teacher I aim to help relieve the chaos others feel; to help others get to the center of their own personal truth and embrace their whole self. Through the practice of Yoga we are allowed to still our minds constant movement and focus our intentions; providing us the physical, mental, and emotional guidance to find balance.  email: clelieaubin@gmail.com

Eric Olson

Everyone has rhythm, but not everyone knows how to fully explore these abilities or even where to begin. I am here to help. My name is Eric Olson, Rhythm Healer. I have been around rhythm my entire life, both as a professional musician who recorded several albums, and as a certified energy (Reiki) worker, applying rhythm to that work seemed a logical step to make. I know how to work with people by tapping into that innate rhythm and weaving it into something else entirely. The voice of the drum is where it all begins. By combining my Reiki knowledge with my lifelong knowledge of drumming, I am here to help you with healing, expanding your consciousness, and co-creating a joyful experience. Although I play many types of drums, my specialty is the West African djembe. I am also an intuitive card reader, build custom drums, and facilitate lively drum circles. Just ask my happy clients! Are you ready? What’s YOUR Rhythm?
