Yoga Journal Live: A Yoga Festival You Don’t Want to Miss

We’ve all heard of Yoga Journal – the pioneering yoga magazine that has helped lead the yoga movement and kept us yogis informed on all things yoga. Recently, we’ve all noticed the trend of yoga festivals taking the country (and the world for that matter) by storm. When Yoga Journal collides with the yoga festival concept, it’s a beautiful thing. Yoga Journal is now celebrating its 20th annual YJ LIVE event.
 
YJ Live hosts events across the country, and the next event is taking place at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado (going on from September 27- October 4). Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect at YJ Live Colorado this weekend. Kathryn Budig to Gina Kaputo, Sri Dharma Mittra to Seane Corn, and DJ Taz Rashid to Cyndi Lee are just a few of the amazing personalities in YJ Live’s rock star lineup this weekend. There will be over 40 master teachers and 100+ classes offered.
 
Several classes are offered at each time slot session throughout the day, so there is a little something for everyone. There are a total of seven sessions spread out over the course of Friday, Saturday, and ending on Sunday morning with a One Last Sun Salutation class that all are welcome to attend.
 

 
In addition to the numerous and enticing class options, there are special events offered each day that are definitely worth checking out. The best part? These special events are sure to bring a smile to your face. From an Acro Yoga demo complete with snacks, sake, and wine, to a roller skating sesh fueled by DJ Dragonfly beats, your day just got even better!
 
There are many offerings to choose from, so we’ll highlight a few packages that YJ Live has created to help you get the most out of your time there. First off, if you’re a beginner yogi (what an exciting event for beginners to be a part of!!), there is a Beginners Path Pass with Rina Jakubowicz for only $80. This two-class pass will help new and beginning yogis learn proper alignment, cues, and other foundational techniques to help establish a strong and safe yoga practice.
 
Looking for the musical cherry on top of your fun-filled Saturday at YJ Live? Check out a live performance by Magic Giant, the indie-folk rock band that’s sure to get you shakin’ your asana and groovin’ with your fellow yogis. Choose from one of 4 Saturday afternoon yoga classes and then stick around for the Magic Giant concert. You can snag the Magic Giant Yoga and Music package for only $25 by clicking here.
