SYF Overview:
A Consciousness Evolution Conference
A Weekend of Total Energetic Transformation | March 14–17, 2024
Whether you’re an experienced teacher or an absolute beginner, we believe evolution is a collaboration. And we here at the Sedona Yoga Festival couldn’t be more excited about what we’re creating… together. Here’s the SYF Overview.
Sedona Yoga Festival returns to the beautiful red rock landscape of Sedona, Arizona, March 14–17, 2024. As we prepare to come together we’re reimagining what space can be held for the yoga community and sculpting an experience like none other, with an impressive roster, rich coursework, and exciting extras carefully crafted to help attendees take their consciousness to the next level.
The SYF has offerings suitable for every level of practitioner—from absolute beginners to experienced teachers— and we are curating a yoga conference with community safety in mind. We’ll be gathering at Sedona’s world-class performing arts center and retreat centers, and going into the Coconino National Forest for a transformative experience like no other.
Sedona Yoga Festival is honored to be leading the conversation—and facilitating authentic connection between people, passion, and potential. Read on for a more in-depth overview of SYF.
