The Martha’s Vineyard Yoga Festival is three years old and stretching. This year we have an incredible lineup of yoga teachers Michelle Boullion, Sarah Davis, Lindel Hart, Sara Ivanhoe, Kristin Leigh, Toni Melaas, Kelly Morris, Lynda Lee O’Laughlin, Saul David Raye, and Barbara Verrochi. And wonderful events – from free early morning led meditations to a sunset stand up paddle on Quitsa, an evening kirtan with Saul David Raye to a gourmet vegetarian meal cooked by Chef Chris Fischer and his team and served in Beetlebung Farm’s magical greenhouse.

Although the hub of the festival will be the Chilmark Community Center where we will have a café featuring food by Chris Fischer and Beetlebung farm, coffee by Chilmark Coffee and raw chocolate by Not Your Sugar Mamas; along with a store featuring Foat Design, Hyde Yoga Clothing, and Stina Sayre; we are deeply honored to be working with all the island studios and their teachers including: Fly Yoga, The Martha’s Vineyard Yoga Center, Tapas, Vineyard Yoga, The Yard, The Yoga Barn and The Yoga Collective @ Coho.

Join us for one class or all of it. Classes and events are a la carte this year so Labor Day weekend is yours to design. We truly look forward to seeing you on your mat, sipping tea with a friend at our café, jumping into the ocean after a particularly sweaty class! But most of all we hope that you come and connect with our teachers, your friends, family and self. As Desikashar said, “Yoga exists in the world because everything is linked.”
