“We are honored to have so many guest speakers and teachers in the Grand Valley Yoga Fest lineup this year,” said Elizabeth Whitt, a local yoga teacher and co-founder along with Lori Raper of the event. “To be able to offer the opportunity to deepen an existing yoga practice or simply explore yoga for the first time, this is truly a community effort and celebration of all the benefits of yoga.”

The Grand Valley Yoga Fest will offer a range of yoga classes, including acro, slackline and stand up paddle board yoga. Classes also will be offered in dance, kirtan and meditation. A sound ceremony and live music are planned. Participants can tailor their schedule based on their interests.
