What is the weather like in Sedona in April?
April in Sedona is beautiful but variable. Expect warm, sunny days (mid-60s to low 70s°F) and cool evenings (40s–50s°F). Dress in layers. Sunscreen and a hat are essential for outdoor sessions on the land. Bring a reusable water bottle.
Do I need a car?
The Village of Oak Creek in Sedona is a pedestrian-friendly town, so if you are staying near the resort you can comfortably walk to the venue. Once you are at the venue (Hilton Sedona Resort) you do not need a car to walk between classes and events.
Carpooling is encouraged getting to the venue, thank you!

You can also visit 2026sedonayogafestival.sched.com or download the Sched app and search “Sedona Yoga Festival 2026.”
Be sure to check your spam folder for the invitation.
What if my session starts before registration opens Thursday?

Will classes be in studios? Have props?
Please bring your own mat, blocks, strap, and blanket. Some props are available at Village Yoga Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Ballroom, but the majority of classes are bring-your-own. A sarong or necktie works great as a strap in a pinch!
