Welcome to River Valley Yoga Festival!

We have a great line-up of presenters and can’t wait to see which sessions you choose to attend. A few things to note.

Size Limits. Some classes have size limits, so be sure to plan your day and register for classes in advance.
Waiting List. Is a class you want to attend already full? No worries, register anyway and we’ll add you to a waitlist in case someone changes their mind!
Extra Fees. Some classes require extra fees to cover teacher expense or supplies. These have been noted with [ $ ] and have a link to direct you to the ticket page where you can make your purchase.

Happy planning!

Gather with community and drop into your own unique expression through the freedom of movement.

Our journey begins with laying a sturdy foundation. This includes a short description of what Ecstatic Dance is and introducing simple, yet, important guidelines (consent, non-verbal communication, and relief of judgement). Building this foundation leads us into a Heart-Opening Cacao Ceremony. Ceremony includes a guided meditation focused on gratitude, engaging the senses, and discovering an intention for our movement. A short moving meditation will then open the space for our dance.

Music will be a playlist curated by your facilitator, Lauren, and will be specific to this festival. The playlist provides dancers with a wave of sound to discover their own range of expression through movement. The dance will end with stillness, a closing circle, and gratitude.
