BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

Looking for something to do this March? 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 Heather Sanders, Founder & Producer and Lisette Cheresson, Director of Communications of Sedona Yoga Festival taking place in Sedona, AZ who we are thrilled to partner with! You will be able to get complimentary copies of our magazine at this festival! 

What makes this year’s festival unique?
HEATHER: After years of seeing people network with one another organically and go on to do amazing things together, we are putting some intentions behind growing that network. As such, we’re actively exploring what purpose-driven collaboration looks like, in what is being shown to us as a new way of doing things. We will have more spaciousness in the schedule and more intentional time all together to spark these relationships, as well as fun activities that support people creating with one another to collaborate both at the festival and beyond.You will find our presenter roster here! 

Share with us what you LOVE about your festival location?
HEATHER: Our venue, the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock, is located in an area of Sedona that has very grounded and healing energy. With everything being walkable from the venue, we expect it to be very relaxed. There are many trails easily accessed near our venue, so folks can take time between classes to really find themselves on the land. There couldn’t be a better place for us to celebrate all together now and really connect with this sacred land.

In that vein, SYF is unique in that it takes place in one of Earth’s well-known power points. Sedona has an energy of transformation and amplification. When we practice together in large numbers in this environment — with shared intention and an attitude of gratitude and love — it resonates and ripples out to the world at large.

The theme of our issue this year is JOY, how do yoga festivals inspire JOY?
LISETTE: There’s a lightness of being that happens when we share in yoga and chant and celebration. It’s not just about coming together in community — though it’s that too — it’s the inspiration of possibility. When we come together in the shared goal of recognizing our interconnectedness, we break the barriers we set for ourselves. We’re able to step into our true, authentic, shared humanity and remind ourselves what is actually possible. 

The joy comes from that reminder — the tapping back into what’s really important, and creating the connections we need to shift out of stagnancy and hopelessness and into our divine power once we leave the event.

Our festival offers a diverse range of activities, including:

  • Local and regional yoga instructors leading classes for all levels and styles

The Bull City Yoga Festival will be located on the beautiful, wide open farm of the ZincHouse Winery and Brewery. It sits on 87 acres of land and vineyards, long hiking trails, a large fountain/pool and multiple buildings. The participants can expect a beautiful vineyard with a calm and serene atmosphere.

The theme of our issue this year is JOY, how do yoga festivals inspire JOY?
Yoga festivals bring me “JOY.”  The Bull City Yoga Festival was created in 2018. I created the festival because I wanted to bring together the diverse yoga instructors in our community and the different offerings that they would bring to the festival. I enjoy seeing the smiles on people’s faces, their laughter, hearing their responses as they attend each of the yoga classes. I feel the “JOY” as the participants shop at the vendor booths.  It is such a beautiful atmosphere with the peace and blessings that are shared among everyone that attends the festival.

Our community benefits from a day long yoga festival experience that offers yoga classes, holistic workshops, natural product vendors: natural soaps, body oils, sage wands and candles, natural clothing, self-help books, beaded jewelry, and food trucks for all different appetites (including vegan).

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL
Looking for something to do this summer? 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 Angela Liesching, the founder and festival director of Bend Yoga Festival in Bend, Oregon coming up June 6-9, 2024
Special thanks to Angela for offering an exclusive promo code for our community: FESTFAMILY for 20% off!
What makes this year’s festival unique?
We’ve gone deep into yoga and nervous system regulation featuring sessions like Yoga & Lymphatics and more from Tiffany Cruikshank (who rarely teaches at festivals!), Reversing Sympathetic Nervous System Dominance, Polyvagal Theory and many others, along with unique and fun offerings like Sianna Sherman’s Yogi Happy Hour & Hypno Trance. And of course all of our signature outdoor adventures like the hike to the top of Smith Rock, forest bathing, paddle boarding and the river plunge.

Share with us what you LOVE about your festival location?
I love the convenience and the beauty: the evergreen forest, the Deschutes river, the Riverbend Park, historic downtown — it’s all together, easy to access and get around. Makes our attendees’ festival experience as stress-less as possible!

The theme of our issue this year is JOY, how do yoga festivals inspire JOY?
As we get older, it’s easier and easier to forget how important it is to intentionally build into your life experiences that foreground joy. Children find and access joy with such ease;it’s their natural state. For adults, there are so many stressors every day that it becomes harder and harder to both be available to joyful moments (our sympathetic nervous systems are mostly dominant during our waking lives), AND our daily experiences are often so draining. At the BYF, all of that drops away. There’s deep self-nurture and removal of stressors; the nervous system shifts into a parasympathetic state, so we become calm enough to be playful — fully available for connection and joy. It’s a beautiful thing! For me personally, as the founder of the festival, my joy comes from looking out at the beautiful souls around me during the event and seeing so many happy people, radiant with joy, deeply present in the moment.
