Sedona Yoga Festival returns to Sedona, AZ, Oct 1 to 4, 2026. Froligo tracks ticket prices, camping, attendee feedback and travel details.

What it stands for

The festival frames itself as 'a consciousness evolution conference' committed to consciousness evolution, community and inclusion, curating presenters for authenticity and welcoming practitioners of every age, body type and experience level ('Yoga For ALL'). It honors tradition while welcoming innovation, partners with nonprofits, and runs a donation-matched scholarship fund to widen access; roughly two thirds of attendees are described as experienced yoga and wellness professionals

The experience

What's special

A four-day consciousness evolution conference held each autumn at the Outbound Sedona resort, set among the red rocks and vortexes of Sedona, Arizona. Marketed as more than a yoga festival, it blends more than 150 sessions of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, pranayama and philosophy with keynotes, sound baths, kirtan and live music, a juried conscious-vendor expo, and on-the-land excursions and hikes in the Coconino National Forest. The 2026 program spans studio ballrooms at the resort and Village Yoga Sedona alongside sessions out on the land

What people love

Public reviews point to the striking red-rock setting, the intentionality of the organizers, and the community and craft vendors; the festival's Google listing shows a 4.3 rating

The practice

Who it's for

all levels and ages. Designed for all levels and ages, from complete beginners to seasoned teachers, with participants said to range from about 6 to 90. Intensity varies widely by session: accessible chair yoga, restorative and therapeutic yoga and meditation sit alongside vigorous Rocket Vinyasa, Ashtanga, hip-opening and splits work, plus outdoor hikes on red-rock terrain

Hatha

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

Pranic Hatha
Vinyasa

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

Rocket Vinyasa

A faster, playful remix of Ashtanga. Strong, sweaty and inversion friendly.

Ashtanga Vinyasa (Tristhana Method)

A set sequence practiced with breath, gaze and posture working together. Disciplined and physical.

Kundalini

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

Yin Yoga

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

Restorative / Therapeutic Yoga

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

Yoga Nidra

Guided lying-down meditation on the edge of sleep. No movement at all.

Katonah Yoga®

A Hatha-based method organized around imagery, measurement and props.

Chair Yoga

Poses adapted to a chair, accessible whatever your mobility.

AcroYoga

Partner work blending yoga and acrobatics. Expect to fly, base and spot.

Somatic Flow

Slow, exploratory movement focused on how it feels rather than how it looks.

Slow Flow

Vinyasa at half speed, with more time in each pose.

Accessibility & comfort

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

Disability accessThere is no accessibility page and no access statement anywhere on the festival site; the full page sitemap was enumerated and contains none. What the festival does publish is access relevant and mostly exclusionary. Its own On the Land Excursions page sets a mobility requirement for the outdoor sessions: participants must be capable of hiking 2 to 3 miles on uneven surfaces and of handling varying gradients without a walking aid or a third party, and must be fit for hiking above 4000 feet elevation. That is an explicit bar on the outdoor programme for many disabled attendees, and it is the festival's own wording. On getting there, the FAQ states that Outbound Sedona sits off State Route 179 about 10 minutes south of main Sedona and is not considered comfortably pedestrian friendly, so attendees should plan to arrive by car, on foot, by bike or on the local shuttle. It then states, verbatim, that once at Outbound Sedona you do not need a car to get between most classes and events, and that a dedicated SYF chartered shuttle takes attendees to and from the on the land sessions. Nothing is published about whether that chartered shuttle is wheelchair accessible or has a lift or ramp, and that gap should be treated as unknown rather than assumed either way. Reserved parking is sold at 160 dollars for the weekend and a parking map is issued at check in, but no accessible parking spaces, accessible drop off point or distance from parking to the practice rooms is published. Registration is described as a walk from the tennis court car park, across the entrance driveway, to the resort entrance. On the venue's own account, and this is Outbound Sedona speaking and not the festival, the resort sells accessible rooms with open layouts and roll in showers, in king, two queen and fireplace configurations. Nothing is published by either party about accessible toilets in the festival areas, showers, step free access into the ballrooms and practice spaces, or camping. On adaptive practice, the festival's Sched schedule does carry an Accessible Yoga style tag used on four sessions and a chair yoga workshop, Chair Yoga and Functional Strength, described as an accessible approach for all ages; There is a needs based scholarship, which is financial and not disability specific, and a work exchange programme; no companion or carer ticket policy is published. No quiet or low sensory space is published, and no ASL or other interpretation is mentioned anywhere on the site or in the session descriptions
Shade & heatMany sessions are held outdoors on the land in the Coconino National Forest; the FAQ advises sunscreen and a hat for outdoor sessions and a reusable water bottle for the dry high-desert climate
AgesAll ages welcome; the organizer says participants have ranged from about 6 to 90 years old

Enumerated the full page sitemap and read the FAQ, overview, lodging, land excursions, directions and shuttle, parking, festival map, purchase tickets, be an angel work exchange and contact pages, plus the complete Sched session description dump (199KB, all sessions) and the venue's own accessible rooms page. No accessibility page exists. the live Outbound Sedona wording is the current one. Contact route to ask the open questions, chiefly whether the chartered shuttle is accessible, whether practice spaces are step free and whether accessible toilets are provided: [email protected], published on the FAQ and repeated across the site
