Roll out your mat! River Valley Yoga Festival returns for a fourth year.
The idea for River Valley Yoga Festival came to Stillwater resident Allissa Obler in a dream. She then spent eight years researching and preparing and founded her own yoga studio, Mudita Wellness, in the process in 2020. The first festival came to life in 2022 at an idyllic 80-acre Stillwater farm.
This year, the River Valley Yoga Festival will take place over the autumn equinox from September 18–21. The multiday, outdoor festival will feature workshops and special events with a focus on yoga, meditation and wellness. The event grows each year with about 35 teachers and 65 different sessions organized for this year’s gathering. The property is home to trails and peaceful spots to journal and relax, and ticket holders are invited to enjoy cold plunge pools, healing tents, a sauna tent and a vendor market between classes.
The event is open to all abilities, even those who are yoga-curious. “It’s really for anyone who is interested in yoga, meditation or just overall health and wellness,” Obler says.
