What makes this year’s festival unique?
Over the mountains and through the woods, Kula Yoga Fest is growing into something new. This year we’re partnering with the breathtaking Ogontz White Mountain Resort, in Lyman, NH. With more than 350 acres of forest, open sky, and a sparkling lake for swimming and paddling, you’ll sleep cozy in an Adirondack-style cabin or cottage, enjoy campfires at night, and allow yourself to just be.
The festival has evolved into a retreat and festival hybrid, a kind of wellness summer camp for the soul. It’s a place to unplug from constant stimulation and come back to your body and your breath. You can move, rest, jump in the lake, sing by the fire, eat nourishing local meals, and spend unhurried time together.We’re embracing that spirit fully and welcoming everyone to “Camp Kula.”
Who are some new presenters or offerings you are excited about?
Camp Kula is built around the idea that when we step away from our routines, we remember how to relate more naturally to ourselves, to nature, and to each other.
We’re excited to welcome back stand-up paddleboard teachers Erika Halaby and Domenic LaRosa, and guided mindfulness hikes with Kaitlin Mueller Cusack. There will be practices inside the beautiful post-and-beam Ogontz Lodge, meditation and sound healing by the lake, release ceremonies, and live music around the campfires.
We also intentionally created space in the schedule to rest, wander, journal, enjoy the sauna or hot tub, or simply sit by the water. Adults rarely get permission to slow down or be playful anymore. At Camp Kula, you can.
The theme of our Summer 2026 issue is Community, can you share with us what the word “community” means to you?
Kula is a Sanskrit word often translated as “community,” but to me it means something deeper than just gathering in the same place. It is a group of people who practice together and also care for one another beyond the mat.
At the festival I see people return year after year. Friendships form, teachers become mentors, and support continues long after the weekend ends. Community is both giving and receiving. It’s being of service while also knowing you don’t have to carry everything alone.
In a world where many people feel isolated, community is the medicine. It reminds us we belong to something larger than ourselves.
