A Vibe Called Yoga Festival returns to Gather COLA, Columbia, SC, Oct 17, 2026. Froligo tracks free-entry details, attendee feedback and travel details.
What it stands for
The festival is built as a response to who it thinks wellness has been leaving out, and it says so in the first person: 'Wellness shouldn't feel exclusive, clinical, or disconnected from everyday culture. It should feel familiar, inviting, expressive, and alive. We're building the space where that version of wellness actually exists.' Its one line mission is 'Art, rhythm, and self care belong together.' The audience it addresses is anyone who has felt wellness was too quiet, too expensive or too removed from the culture they actually live in, and the values it lists for itself are familiar, accessible, alive, expressive, real, community, yours and culture first
The experience
What's special
A yoga festival that argues with the category it belongs to. Every session is set to live curated music and the organizers are explicit that the music leads rather than accompanies, which is where the format comes from: an existing series that ran yoga in art museums and unconventional venues with live DJs. The festival version adds workshops, a curated marketplace, visual art and installations across the venue and community spaces, and runs eight hours at Gather COLA, a food hall and brewery site in Columbia's BullStreet District with a dozen resident food traders already in place. One price, $75, all ages, doors at 10:30
The practice
all levels. The parent brand states the position for the series and the festival inherits it: 'We don't limit our events to experienced yogis; our yoga journey is designed to welcome all levels, inviting anyone with an open mind and a desire to experience something new.' The festival site itself gives no fitness guidance

Accessibility & comfort
What the organiser or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.
Read the festival site in full, the parent brand site in full, the Eventbrite listing in full, and the venue's homepage, location and vendors pages. None of them mentions accessibility, an accessible route, accessible parking, seating provision or ASL. The only adjacent facts published are that parking is paid and that the venue is part indoor and part outdoor
Confirm your specific needs with the organiser's access team before you travel.
Schedule
Everything recorded here is published on the live 2026 festival site and the live 2026 Eventbrite listing, both carrying the October 17, 2026 date and the same organizer. There is no prior festival edition to confuse it with. The parent brand site describes the earlier yoga series, and material quoted from it is attributed to the series rather than to the festival

What it costs
What to bring
A full weekend of practice is easier with your own kit. What earns its place in the bag:
Your own matRentals sell out and shared mats are thin. Bring a grippy, cushioned mat you trust for a full weekend of practice.

Teachers & presenters
Six names, read from the Eventbrite lineup module on September 6, 2026. They are the same six the 2 September corpus carried, unchanged, which makes this the only roster in this batch that has not moved in four days. None has a link, a studio, a discipline or a session, and the festival's own site names nobody. Applications for yoga instructors and workshop facilitators were still open at capture, so the roster is very likely incomplete rather than final. No music act, DJ or artist is named anywhere, despite live DJ sound being the festival's central claim. Resolve identities and disciplines before any artist page is built
Local Vendors & Brands
A curated marketplace is one of the festival's six published strands, described as 'A curated marketplace of wellness brands, local makers, and culture-forward businesses' with 'Limited vendor spots available'. No festival vendor is named for 2026 and applications were still open at capture through a Microsoft Forms link. Separately, the venue has twelve resident food and drink traders of its own, recorded in venue_food_vendors; those trade at Gather COLA year round and are not billed as festival vendors
