What makes your festival unique?
This is Dirty South Yoga Fest’s 10th year! In 2024, we added a Friday schedule that includes two expert panels. Extending the schedule allows more time to gather together to flow, breathe and find tiny joys throughout the weekend.

Share with us what you LOVE about your festival location?
I love bringing people into Downtown Atlanta. The architecture, the diversity, the community make up a beautiful and historic landscape to share with our attendees. Our ticket holders also appreciate the free parking deck at the Loudermilk Center!

The theme of our issue this year is JOY, how do yoga festivals inspire JOY?
Our beloved yoga community in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast shines with JOY during and after Dirty South Yoga Fest. Joy begets gratitude beautifully. JOY is easily found and spread when you’re able to curate, coordinate, and execute such a meaningful event for three days. 

Tickets & schedule available on Friday, May 24

With a focus on love, unity, and self-discovery, the festival aims to provide a holistic experience for attendees to nourish their mind, body, and spirit.

Share with us what you LOVE about your festival location?
Leland Lake is a truly magical place, the desire of the owner, a fellow yogini, was to one day have a Yoga festival on her property and everything has been so thoughtfully placed with this in mind. It truly is a place to reconvene with nature. 

The theme of our issue this year is JOY, how do yoga festivals inspire JOY?
I have found that for me, most of my Joy comes from opportunities to serve others. My method of service in everything I do is heart centered. I get people to feel their own hearts and listen to that voice within that just wants to play and see life as a big adventure.

It is so easy in the business of life to move away from what is really important. Life entices us, sucking us into the stories and dramas of the ego and we find ourselves moving further and further away from our joy. Many are walking through life listless and uninspired. My life purpose and goal behind all that I do is to reinspire passion and reignite the spark that glimmer of hope that allows for growth, expansion and transformation.

From inception until now the wild ride of creating a festival has expanded every part of me giving me a larger capacity to hold an even greater amount of JOY!
Although I hold the title of creator of LiTT, I think in actuality LiTT has created me. Throughout the process of visioning and creating LiTT I feel like I have been reenvisioned. I have two children and when each was born I felt like a part of my heart that I didn’t know I had lit up. LiTT is my third child and my heart has grown exponentially since its inception. And I can’t wait for those that experience it to feel that love!

My whole life I have gathered people together under the umbrella of LOVE whether it be retreats, workshops, classes or life coaching. But, now more than ever it feels like I needed to grow the stage. The world as we know it is dissolving. Old belief systems are being dismantled and the world, like me, is being re envisioned. We need more ways to come together under the common desire for community, connection, healing and LOVE. 

LiTT isn’t just a place to listen to some amazing music or do some yoga, it is an opportunity to unplug from the chaos of life and plug into nature. It is an answer to the calling of the soul which requires we slow down, nourish, play, move and connect on the level of the heart. LiTT calls us to HEAL-EXPAND-LOVE-REMEMBER-BECOME

What inspired you to create a festival?

I love my home state of Connecticut and wanted to create an event where we all gather for a weekend and we can create a sense of community with one another while having the ability to meet local teachers as well as try different classes we may have not known existed right in our backyard!

What makes your festival unique?

This festival is unique because it blends yoga and movement classes with wellness modalities as well as forms of spirituality.  It is the first festival that really encapsulates a well rounded healing and transformational experience. There is truly something for everyone here, even if you are not into yoga or movement based classes.

What offering/presenter or class are you most excited about for this year’s event?

I am so excited for every presenter, it’s so hard to choose!  Just to highlight a few of our AMAZING offerings at Transcend Fest would be Kundalini yoga, Tantra, Shamanic healing, puppy yoga, and herbalism.  There are 90 offerings throughout the weekend, you will have to check out the website to see the full line-up!

Looking for something to do this Sept? We are thrilled yoga festivals are back and can’t wait to check out all the amazing events taking place around the world. This week we had a chance to connect with Malik Khalid, Founder of AMADOR, Yoga and Art Festival taking place in Atlanta, GA who we are thrilled to partner with! You will be able to get complimentary copies of our magazine at this festival! 

What inspired you to create a festival?
My experience in the yoga community at large has been very isolating, often I’m the only black person in the room if not the only male. I wanted to curate a space where Black and Brown teachers were showcased to display a new face of what yoga can look like and who gets to practice it. 

What makes your festival unique?

The AMADOR Yoga & Art Festival is an innovative experience linking yoga, community and art all together as an extension of each other. Art is the manifestation of mindfulness and yoga is the source that ties it together. 

What offering/presenter or class are you most excited about for this year’s event?
We’re excited about Trap Yoga with Eazy Spliffarchi, an authentic teacher that brings communities together through Hip-Hop, Trap Music and mobility. Considering the genre turned 50 this year I think this offering will be one of the most electric of them all.

Looking for something to do this Oct? We are thrilled yoga festivals are back and can’t wait to check out all the amazing events taking place around the world. This week we had a chance to connect with Lori Klinger, owner of The Ponderosa Guest Ranch (home of the fest) and the creator and visionary behind the Wild West Yoga Fest  taking place in Forestburg, Texas who we are thrilled to partner with! You will be able to get complimentary copies of our magazine at this festival! 

What inspired you to create a festival?
I have been hosting yoga retreats and workshops, music events, and dinners here at the ranch since we opened in 2018. The festival is a combination of all that we do on steroids! 🙂 I love bringing communities together and Texas is so incredibly spread out, I thought what a wonderful way to unite yoga communities in and around the Dallas/Ft Worth area and beyond. A festival is also an easy, fun and less intimidating way to dip your toe into yoga and the world of all things health and wellness. While this has been a grassroots effort that is mostly word of mouth, the festival has steadily doubled in size each year. This is year three and it just keeps on getting bigger and better!

What makes your festival unique?
It has a hippies and cowboys kinda feel. The 160 acre ranch setting with longhorns, horses, and fan favorite “Donkey” roaming freely makes it a “Texas safari” of sorts. It is a true backroads sanctuary just an hour outta the metroplex that gives festival goers a real feel of relaxation and immersion in nature. It’s a one day festival, but has lasting blissful effects especially for those escaping the daily grind of city life. It is next level high vibes!!! And by pure coincidence the total solar eclipse lands on the day of the festival. We will be having a little lunchtime watch party. Almost too good to be true!

What offering/presenter or class are you most excited about for this year’s event?
That’s a tough one. Our lineup is chocked full of incredible teachers with varied styles from start to finish, but I am so incredibly humbled and stoked that MY teacher Amy Ippolitti will be joining us this year. There are so many things to get excited about…In addition to top notch asana classes, we have aerial yoga, acro yoga, ice plunges led by a Wim Hof instructor, hooping, a sound bath, a festival wide drumming circle, live reggae music, and a vendor village with tarot, reiki, henna tats, farm fresh items and all sorts of goods for purchase. We also have speakers up top to stimulate your minds while you enjoy some downtime, or lunch from a variety of food truck options. It is literally the BEST.DAY.EVER.
