Indiana Yoga Flow and Fire Festival in Marengo, IN is not currently confirmed to be running. Froligo tracks its status, history and similar festivals still happening.

What it stands for

The festival frames the practice in its own terms: yoga as strength, flexibility and longevity for the body that houses the soul, and fire as the inner heat needed to burn away what prevents realising one's true nature. It positions itself as a place to reconnect with self and environment, with a stated culture of safety, temperance and community: illegal activity is not allowed and the organisers discourage intoxication

The experience

What's special

A small woodland gathering on a karst ridge in southern Indiana that pairs a full yoga schedule with flow arts and fire. Alongside chair classes and vigorous vinyasa there is a flow zone where instructors coach hoop and poi, nightly fire performances, fire safety instruction and a fire walking ceremony, a large Friday night sound bath, African drumming and drum circles, dharma talks, facilitated talking circles, group art projects and a children's tent. Camping and parking are included and the event was capped at 75 tickets

The practice

Who it's for

all levels. The organiser states the festival is suitable for beginners, that the schedule offers a variety of classes with several suitable for a first yoga class ever, and that anyone unable to sit on the ground should take the chair yoga class. Classes range from chair to vigorous vinyasa and everything in between

Hatha

Slower, foundational postures held breath by breath. The classic starting point.

vigorous vinyasa

Flowing sequences that link breath to movement. Expect to move and sweat.

chair yoga

Poses adapted to a chair, accessible whatever your mobility.

slow flow vinyasa

Flowing sequences that link breath to movement. Expect to move and sweat.

yin

Long, passive floor holds that reach deep tissue. Slow, quiet and meditative.

Restorative

Fully supported poses with props, built for rest and recovery rather than effort.

Hot Yoga
kundalini

Breathwork, chanting and repeated movements aimed at energy and focus more than a workout.

Accessibility & comfort

What the organiser or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.

Disability accessNo formal accessibility statement was published. The organiser notes the site is primitive with a steep gravel driveway, and that a chair yoga class is offered for anyone unable to sit on the ground
Shade & heatThe venue is several acres of woods on a gentle karst ridge with a marked trail. The organiser describes it as primitive and says the event runs rain or shine unless weather is deemed unsafe, with a large event tent and covered spaces to keep the schedule going
AgesChildren and families are welcome. Children over a stated age require a ticket and consistent adult supervision; Teens may not attend without an accompanying adult
ChildrenThere is a dedicated children's area with activities, classes and performances, curated as the Kids Tent. Parents are asked to attend to children and watch them at all times because the venue is primitive

What to bring

A full weekend of practice is easier with your own kit. What earns its place in the bag:

Four rolled cotton yoga mats in pink, yellow, blue and blackYour own mat

Rentals sell out and shared mats are thin. Bring a grippy, cushioned mat you trust for a full weekend of practice.

Shop options
Four reusable water bottles in a rowWater and electrolytes

Vigorous flows plus dry, high-altitude air dehydrate fast.

Shop options
Stack of folded flannel shirts in blues and greensWarm layers

Studios and shade run cool between sessions even when the sun is hot.

Shop options
Recovery and comfort. This is a camping festival on a wooded ridge, so recovery kit matters as much as mat kit. The organiser's own packing list runs to a groundcloth, a mattress, cot or ground pad, sleeping pad, blanket and pillow, rain gear and a flashlight, and asks people to anticipate the personal items they need for comfort. Facilities are a set of portable toilets, outdoor handwashing and a single outdoor shower

Shop links may earn Froligo a commission; they never change the price you pay.
