Kootenay Yoga Festival

The Kootenay Yoga Festival, an annual celebration of wellness and arts set against the backdrop of the beautiful Slocan Valley, will return for its fourth consecutive year from September 13 to 15, 2024.

The Kootenay Yoga Festival is more than just a gathering; it’s a platform for personal growth, community connection, and a celebration of local talent. Throughout the weekend,
attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a diverse array of yoga and
movement classes, self-development workshops, educational talks and artistic performances. From beginner yogis to seasoned practitioners, there’s something for
everyone to explore and enjoy.

One of the festival’s unique aspects is its focus on fostering connections between surrounding communities, artists, and wellness practitioners. The goal is to inspire people
to improve their own lives through self-care and ancestral healing practices as well as to
create a circular economy with local businesses, practitioners and facilitators in the
Kootenays.

Central to the festival’s mission is its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. The
Kootenay Yoga Festival is the main project of the Kootenay Wellness Foundation: a non-profit organization dedicated to making holistic wellness accessible to all members of the
community.

Through free resources, low-income services, and partnerships with local
businesses, the foundation inspires individuals to prioritize their health and well-being.

As part of fulfilling the foundation’s mission, the Kootenay Yoga Festival is offering discounted festival passes to local community members, youth, and elders.
