Bend Yoga Festival returns to Bend, OR, Jun 10 to 13, 2027. Froligo tracks current ticket prices, attendee feedback and travel details.
What it stands for
The festival's tagline is 'Where you belong': it describes itself as an inclusive, community-centered celebration rooted in respect for nature and the landscape of Bend, with a pathway system (from Movement & Practice to Empowered Aging and Restore & Regulate) built so different kinds of attendees can find their own festival. The 2026 theme was Making Space for Joy, and community sessions were open to non-passholders by donation
The experience
What's special
A four-day, multi-venue yoga festival woven through downtown Bend: mornings can start with sunrise practice under the 100 foot trees of Drake Park on the Deschutes River, days fill with sessions at the Oxford Hotel ballroom and neighborhood wellness studios, and evenings turn to candlelit music meditations, sound healing with cacao and ecstatic dance. Alongside more than 60 workshops with internationally known teachers, add-on adventures head onto the landscape itself: river paddles, forest bathing, guided cold plunges, sauna sessions and a new moon stargazing tour in the Oregon Outback, before the festival closes with its river plunge tradition
Last time around
The June 11 to 14, 2026 edition ran on the theme Making Space for Joy, headlined by Tiffany Cruikshank, Gina Caputo, Amy Ippoliti and Kia Miller, with around 46 scheduled sessions across the Oxford Hotel, Drake Park, Pine & Prism Wellness Collective and add-on adventure meet points, an Empowered Aging panel, two ecstatic dance nights and closing integration practices by the river
The practice
Who it's for. The festival describes itself as inclusive and organizes its schedule into six pathways so attendees can navigate by what they seek (Movement & Practice, Explore Bend, Restore & Regulate, Tradition & Lineage, Empowered Aging, Arts & Performance). The 2026 program ranged from rest practices and forest bathing to handstand training, acro yoga and river cold plunges; a stated fitness-level policy was not captured
Slow, exploratory movement focused on how it feels rather than how it looks.
