David Motzenbecker's schedule for River Valley Yoga Festival

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!

About me

David Motzenbecker, Founder of Motz Studios, is one of the global “Top Five Walk Leaders” of ANFT Certified Forest Therapy Guides, a Forest Therapy Trail Design & Certification Consultant, and an award-winning Landscape Architect practicing since 2001. David has given over 270 walks to nearly 1,800 participants since 2018. Motz Studios draws on David’s inherent curiosity about the world and his international expertise in Japan and the U.K. Leadership Fellowships in both cultures deepened his study of design, arts, history, mysticism, and spirituality - and their connection to nature. David brings his design expertise in landscape architecture to his guide practice, demonstrating how nature has been a place of respite throughout history, and how we might use the lessons and metaphors we glean from the forest in shaping our everyday lives and places. Motzenbecker is a visionary thinker, inspirational speaker, and expert at public engagement and facilitation. His awards include the H.W.S. Cleveland Award for Leadership Potential, and the Lob Pine Award (the highest award given in the MN Landscape Architecture community) for exemplary leadership and mentorship for the landscape architecture community over an extended period. All these elements have coalesced over the course of David's practice shaping him as a designer, and now influencing the ethos of Motz Studios.
