Yoga festivals bring practitioners, teachers, organizers, and communities together through shared practice and learning. The Asivana Yoga Festival Directory is a curated, independent resource for finding public yoga festivals, conferences, and yoga-centered gatherings with confirmed dates.

I maintain this directory from the perspective of someone who has attended yoga festivals as a participant, vendor, presenter, and sponsor since 2015. My goal is to make yoga festivals easier to discover and compare while giving each festival its own detailed listing for deeper research.

Using the Yoga Festival Directory

From Search to Festival

Search

Search the directory by festival name, location, region, country, year, month, or other available filters to narrow the list to events that fit your plans.

Compare

Compare festival dates and locations, then open individual listings to review the available event details, venue information, and festival context.

Explore

Use the individual festival page as a starting point, then visit the official festival website when you are ready to review registration, schedules, pricing, lodging, and current organizer information.

Editorial Standards

What Qualifies as a Yoga Festival?

For this directory, a yoga festival is a public event where yoga is a primary focus and attendees can choose from a structured program of classes, workshops, talks, meditation, music, philosophy, or related community experiences.

Qualifying events generally feature multiple presenters, multiple scheduled offerings, or a meaningful range of yoga traditions and practices. Both one-day and multi-day events may qualify. Duration alone does not determine whether an event belongs in the directory.

Some events sit near the boundary between a festival, retreat, conference, and workshop series. In those cases, I review the published schedule, presenter lineup, registration structure, public accessibility, and the way the organizer describes the experience.

Yoga Festival Inclusion Standards

Yoga is central to the event. Yoga classes, philosophy, meditation, breathwork, devotional practices, yoga therapy, or related teachings make up a substantial part of the program.
Registration is open to the public. Attendees can purchase a ticket, register, or otherwise participate without belonging to a private group or completing a selective enrollment process.
The event offers a developed program. The schedule includes multiple sessions, presenters, practice options, or learning experiences rather than a single class or workshop.
The event has a distinct identity. It is presented as a festival, conference, summit, gathering, symposium, or comparable organized event with defined dates and a dedicated program.
Essential information can be verified. Dates, location, organizer information, registration access, or other essential details can be supported by reliable event sources.

Events Usually Not Included

Single classes, workshops, studio open houses, or recurring community classes
Retreats centered on one teacher or a small fixed teaching team
Yoga teacher trainings, certifications, or continuing education programs
Private, invitation-only, or membership-only gatherings
General music, fitness, or wellness festivals where yoga is a minor activity
Online classes or course launches without a broader festival program
Events without confirmed dates, a reliable organizer presence, or enough published information to support a listing

How the Directory Works

How the Yoga Festival Directory Is Created

The directory is built through ongoing research, organizer information, community recommendations, and continued review of existing festivals. Upcoming events remain the priority as organizers announce new dates, locations, registration information, postponements, and cancellations.

1. Discover

Potential festivals are found through official websites, organizer announcements, registration platforms, previous listings, community recommendations, and submissions.

2. Verify

Dates, locations, event status, registration access, and available festival information are checked against official sources whenever possible.

3. Review

Each event is evaluated against the editorial standards used for the directory. Unclear or conflicting information may require additional review.

4. Monitor

Existing festivals are revisited as organizers announce new years, change venues, open registration, postpone programs, or cancel events.

A festival's presence in this directory does not mean that Asivana Yoga organizes, manages, certifies, or endorses the event. Standard directory inclusion is free and based on editorial relevance.

Around the Yoga Community

Yoga Festivals in the United States

Yoga festivals across the United States range from local one-day community gatherings to multi-day destination events. The directory makes it possible to narrow events by region, country, state, year, and month so practitioners can find festivals that fit their travel plans and practice.

Local and regional festivals can be particularly useful for meeting teachers, studios, vendors, and practitioners from the surrounding yoga community without building an entire trip around the event.

International Yoga Festivals

The directory also includes yoga festivals outside the United States. International events can bring together traditions, teachers, communities, and approaches to yoga that reflect the places where those gatherings are held.

When traveling internationally for a yoga festival, review the official event information carefully and account for transportation, lodging, local travel, registration terms, and the time needed around the festival itself.

The Festival Experience

More Than a Yoga Class

A yoga festival can bring many parts of yoga culture into one shared experience. Depending on the event, the program may include asana classes, meditation, pranayama, philosophy, devotional practices, teacher education, sound experiences, music, workshops, vendors, wellness offerings, outdoor activities, and opportunities to spend time with a wider yoga community.

That variety is part of what separates a developed festival from an individual studio class or workshop. Attendees can move between different teachers, practices, subjects, and community experiences while shaping their own schedule around what interests them.

Choosing the Right Yoga Festival

The right festival depends on the experience you want. Some gatherings focus heavily on physical practice, while others emphasize yoga philosophy, meditation, music, devotional practice, professional education, outdoor activities, or community connection.

Consider the size and pace of the event, teaching lineup, yoga styles, workshops, experience level, venue, daily schedule, and the amount of unstructured time available.

Planning a Yoga Festival Trip

Look beyond the ticket price when planning a festival. Travel, lodging, camping, meals, parking, local transportation, equipment, and time away from home can all shape the total experience.

Before making nonrefundable plans, review the official festival website for the current schedule, teachers, venue, prices, accommodations, registration policies, accessibility information, and other organizer updates.

For Festival Organizers

Submit or Update a Yoga Festival

Yoga festival organizers are invited to submit qualifying events for consideration. Standard listings are free. Please provide accurate dates, location information, an official event or registration website, and enough program information to show how yoga is represented.

Submission does not guarantee inclusion. Events must meet the directory standards and contain enough reliable information to create or update a listing.

A Growing Resource

A Yoga Festival Directory Built to Stay Current

Yoga festival calendars change continuously. Some organizers announce the next year while the current festival is still approaching. Others change venues, adjust dates, postpone an event, or take a year away.

Asivana continues discovering festivals and reviewing existing listings as new information becomes available. Returning to the directory throughout the year is one of the easiest ways to see which yoga festivals have announced upcoming dates.

Accurate updates from organizers and members of the yoga community are always useful. For a general inquiry, visit the Asivana contact page.

Past festival editions remain available as historical records, preserving what organizers advertised for those editions.
