What people say about SYF

“This was my 5th year to attend the festival. Every year, I return home, transformed. It is difficult to pinpoint one thing. Is it; the classes I attended? The inspiration from new teachers? The feeling of love and acceptance with other yogis? Is it the beautiful location? Or, is it the awesome beauty of Sedona… I think it is all of these things happening at one time in one very magical place.”

“The Sedona Yoga Festival Consciousness Evolution Conference was amazingly transformative and exceeded all of my expectations! I loved the choose-your-own adventure style with hundreds of workshops and classes to choose from. I’m a beginner yogi, and I had great experience selecting from the plethora of yoga practices and workshops, I took something home from each and every one of them. The venue was welcoming, the staff friendly and accommodating, the format accessible and fun! I would recommend the Sedona Yoga Festival to anyone, from beginner to guru, looking to have a transformative experience that will leave you supercharged until next year’s event!”

“Sedona Yoga Festival is much more than a gathering of yogis. And while that in itself is reason enough to attend, the wide range of classes, excellent presenters, beautiful setting, and focus on Conscious Evolution, add up to make for a healing, empowering and holistic experience. I recommend the Festival without hesitation to anyone on the path of awakening and greater self-knowledge!”

“All of my friends that have been to Sedona previously kept telling me I would "feel something" when I arrived... It wasn't until I left and made it back to Las Vegas that I felt something. I couldn't put my fingers on what it was but there was a definite change that had happened inside of me. It was so strong that people in my office and my fiance took notice! Now that it's been a few months since the event I can tell that I need a recharge! The festival and everything about Sedona was a positive event for me personally. It has impacted the way that I teach yoga and most importantly my own personal practice.”

“Inspiring, grounding, and calming – these three words sum up my experience at Sedona Yoga Festival! Would I go again? The answer is YES! From world-renowned presenters to kind and helpful staff, there are endless reasons to return. I traveled from Chicago just for the festival and was thrilled by my decision to attend. There are beautiful spots to site see right near the venue too. It is an overall win-win!”

“A truly magical experience in a jaw dropping, awe-inspiring location. So much more than a yoga retreat. I always leave here refreshed, revitalized and peaceful. Ready to power through another year, sharing the special energy of the SYF with the world.”

“I have been to the festival two years running. The selection of quality classes is mind blowing and it never ceases to have a profound impact on my life.”

“To me, the Sedona Yoga Festival is a bit of Heaven on Earth~ lovely and expansive in every way.”

“The personal evolution I experienced just by being linked into the SYF sphere has bumped up my vibration, both times... those who choose to participate in conscious evolution... not for the faint of heart. ;-)”

“This conference is so special since there are so many small workshops,”

“The yoga festival was enlightening, and I came back from the festival feeling relaxed and re-energized. The festival has all kinds of classes for beginners to experts.”

“Sedona is a magical place. It is where people cry to heal and to focus on themselves. The people are warm and friendly. This festival offers so much to attendees that it is something not to be missed.”

“Yoga in the red rocks of Sedona is a perfect fit. Looking up from sirvasana at the bell rock was otherworldly, inspiring and just plain wonderful.”

“This was my first yoga festival. I was not sure what to expect. I do not practice much physical yoga. The workshops alone were well worth it!”

“SYF is an amazing event and each year it gets better and better!!”

“I seriously can’t say enough about Kalindi From Amrit Yoga. (Studio Partner) It was so profound and spoke to me in every level of my life. She should absolutely come back in years to come.”

“LOVE Vendor Village set up.”

“Honoring the earth, environment, our bodies, souls, hearts, and others. Enveloped in love and acceptance. It was quite wonderful to be in the mystic land of Sedona experiencing all the positive energy, growth, and transformation. I feel truly blessed to have stumbled upon this gift.”

“The variety of classes and instructors was what drew me in when I first looked into the festival last year, and that held true throughout the weekend. Being able to move between tracks, from yoga modalities to inner spiritual work to practical everyday resources, kept things feeling fresh and personally meaningful the whole time.”

“I was lucky enough to attend the 2014 Sedona Yoga Festival and made lots of great memories that I will take with me to the grave (kudos to Crisanto from the yoga DJ duo MentalPhysix)! I met the amazingly talented photographer Robert Sturman, learned about Hindu deities, and had a medium do a reading of my friends and I in front of 50 people…just to name a few. I have a huge smile on my face just thinking about it all!”

“The Trauma Resiliency was fantastic. All the presenters were inspiring and amazing. It was wonderful to see the good work being done by so many!”

“This training was absolutely phenomenal and I’m so incredibly grateful that I decided to attend!! I’m getting ready to start a course for Vets with PTSD and this has been so incredibly valuable!!”

“SYF is an incredible opportunity to connect deeply with the greater yogic family,”

“The carefully-curated offerings and concerts represent the multidimensionality and intersectionality of true yoga and supports professionals and students alike. As a professional, I enjoyed the panel discussions and deep dives on important topics as a leader in the field, the option for CEUs and the trauma-informed lens that many of the presenters spoke through. Movement classes are available as are land excursions, a book fair, longer workshops to go deeper into study and concerts at night make this festival a truly well rounded and enriching experience. Highly recommend you come, even if you’re new to yoga!”

“I have been a presenter first and simultaneously an attendee. Being a presenter at the Sedona Fest is extraordinary — to be held in these incredible mountains, as well as to hold our community coming together to “do the work/play” in this ideal location. A stand-out moment at SYF is teaching outside in the cleavage of these incredible mountains while we are dancing, moving, breathing and meditating …and looking all around us to be held by this extraordinary magical place.”

“I am proud to be a part of SYF because it is always evolving and growing with a honoring of the master teachers as well as newer teachers who are stepping into really honoring the lineages and being integral for yoga teachings and philosophy.”

“SYF is truly an epic experience. I love how it takes place in the magical vortexes of Sedona. The teachers that they invite are truly amazing!”

“The festival has evolved so much. One thing that really allows for people to have a truly profound experience is the unity. The unity of the team, but also the students, the presenters, the artists, everyone and the Sedona Yoga Festival. Being one collective — doesn’t matter what gender, where you came from, new students, old teachers, new teachers. But just being one in this festival is so profound to see that and experience it.”

“Gratitude of immense magnitude to all the soul surfers, spirit seekers and adventurous yogis at Sedona Yoga Festival! Feeling totally more inspired than ever!”

“I am grateful to everyone involved with Sedona Yoga Festival. It is heroic to manifest—from nothing—an entire yoga festival, replete with teachers, searchers and healers from all over the world.”

“Thank you to all my fellow presenters and attendees for contributing such richness and depth, and for holding sacred space throughout the Festival.”

“Sedona Yoga Festival was thus destined to be superb. It’s a really amazing platform for Yoga and experiential spirituality. So many wonderful souls gathered there. An overwhelming array of high-quality sessions and workshops that included Yoga, meditation, breath-work, crystals, kirtans and bhajans, gong baths, various forms of alternative healing, etc.”

“I was at the Sedona Yoga Festival in Arizona February 6-10th, and had an amazing time!”

“I have to say, I was blown away! I loved that everyone was a part of this festival, including the organizers, presenters, sponsors, production team, attendees, and the team that helped with everything else behind the scenes. It really made this festival a special experience.”

“Every talk, every yoga workshop was more than just a class, it was more than just growing your own personal consciousness. They were all a call to action, to be part of a Revolution! After the Sedona Yoga Festival, I'm reminded of how beautiful life is and the radical, revolutionary act of finding the beauty in others.”

“There's no other place where this amount of education takes place in only five days.”

“The 2015 lineup of talented teachers and musicians, coupled with the breathtaking backdrop of the Arizona red rocks, made the February’s third annual Sedona Yoga Festival (SYF) a magical, memorable experience.”

“Sedona is a magical place, and when I learned that there was going to be a yoga festival taking place in Sedona, I immediately signed up!”
