Yoga & Soul Festival returns to The Vines Venue, Sauk City, WI, Sep 10 to 13, 2026. Froligo tracks ticket prices, camping, attendee feedback and travel details.

What it stands for

The organizer describes the intention as 'to create a safe, inclusive atmosphere for all to practice, laugh, bathe in nature and return home to themselves', and frames the festival as a community project rather than a revenue line. Kingfisher Yoga states that no profit from the festival returns to the studio, that 2025 proceeds went to local food donations and to the pet rescues Fetch Wisconsin and Brown Paws, that small businesses are given a free place to sell, and that facilitators are paid once costs are covered. Studio owners from surrounding towns are invited free each year, and many teachers volunteer their time

Worth checking before you go. The plant based meal pre-order closed on August 31, 2026, before the September 10 start. Meals are not included in admission and the schedule's Thursday dinner and Friday and Saturday lunch and dinner are all marked as pre-order only, so anyone who did not order ahead should contact the organizer or plan to bring their own food. Smoothies are sold in the mornings and a small store carries snacks and pressed juices, but no full catering option is advertised on the day.

Checked 2026-09-03. Conditions change; recheck before you travel.

Worth checking before you go. This is a primitive camping site with limited cell reception and no wifi, no shower block (the organizer suggests bringing a solar shower for personal use), and drinking water from a spigot rather than taps. Personal open fires are not allowed and there are two common fire areas. Plan for being out of contact and pack accordingly, particularly for a Wisconsin September night outdoors.

The experience

What's special

Yoga & Soul is a small camping festival on a family owned vineyard between two lakes, put on by a village studio rather than a touring production company. The venue has a stage, so live music closes Friday and Saturday nights, and the days run wide rather than deep: alongside vinyasa, yin, restorative, Hatha and somatics there is belly dance, hula hooping, ecstatic dance, a nervous system workshop, a make and take session on household toxins, contemplative writing, a foraged mandala and a daily sunrise mile through the vines. Camping is included with the full pass, quiet hours start at 9:30 pm, and the whole thing is sized so that most people meet most people

What people love

Organizer published testimonials on the official home page describe the energy as ecstatic, praise The Vines as a beautiful venue and its hosts, call the presenters knowledgeable and the sessions varied, and repeatedly mention feeling safe and building community quickly. These are testimonials selected by the organizer, not independent reviews

The practice

Who it's for

all levels. The organizer states the festival is 'open to all and suitable for yoga enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels', for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Two blocks carry explicit level language: Mobility & More is 'Suitable for all levels. Modifications & progressions will be offered', and Somatics: Embodied Letting Go is 'appropriate for all levels', with a beginner introduction and a deeper path for advanced yogis. The Vinyasa Flow block is billed as 'medium paced'. The days do include more demanding options, including Kali Flow with 'challenging twists & balance postures', Infinity Flow which is 'designed to challenge your strength, flexibility & focus', belly dance, hooping, ecstatic dance and a daily one mile hike, but gentler alternatives run alongside: sound bowl meditation, restorative, yin, contemplative writing and workshops

Hatha

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

Vinyasa Flow

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.

Somatics

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

Accessibility & comfort

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

Disability accessNo accessibility statement is published. There is no accessibility page on the festival site, and neither the home page, the Guidelines and FAQ page nor the schedule mentions mobility, wheelchairs, step free access, companion or carer tickets, adaptive or chair based practice, or interpretation. The festival's own Guidelines and FAQ page does publish facilities detail that bears on access: it says The Vines has flush toilets and bathroom facilities, that primitive camping is included with admission, that space for tents is in an open area surrounded by trees, that camper trailers can set up on the gravel lot, that there is a spigot on site to fill water containers, and that there are no showers, so anyone needing one is told to bring a solar shower for personal use. There is limited cell reception and no wifi, and no pets are allowed because the landowner has a dog, which matters if you rely on an assistance animal and should be checked directly. Nothing is published about the surface of the practice areas, about slope, about whether any session space is indoors or step free, about accessible parking or its distance from the practice areas, or about whether the flush toilets are accessible ones. The venue's own website, thevinesvenue.com, does not resolve in DNS at all, so the venue's own accessibility information could not be read rather than shown not to exist
Shade & heatThe venue is a vineyard in a valley surrounded by lakes and forests, and one class is described as taking place under the tree canopy. The published programme is largely outdoors; no shade structure inventory or wet weather plan is published
AgesOpen to all ages and skill levels. Tickets are required for anyone over age 7, and parents are asked to supervise their children
ChildrenParents are asked to supervise their children so others can have a peaceful, stress free experience. No dedicated children's programme is published for 2026

Checked the home page, the Guidelines and FAQ page at /blank-2, the live music page at /blank-3, the schedule and itinerary page, the contact page, the pages sitemap and /accessibility (404). The festival site publishes no email address or phone number, only a contact form on the home page and on /contact. The organiser is Kingfisher Yoga of Lodi, whose own festival page and contact page publish [email protected] and 608-909-9173; that is the route to ask about access. The venue site thevinesvenue.com has no DNS A record and cannot be fetched, so the venue's own accessibility page, if any, is unreadable rather than absent

What to bring

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

Yoga Mat
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 with a full four days of movement, from mobility and functional strength work through vinyasa, hooping, belly dance, ecstatic dance and a daily one mile hike, so recovery between blocks matters. Sleeping arrangements are primitive tent camping unless a glamping tent is bought, so a proper sleeping pad or air mattress, a warm bag rated for a Wisconsin September night and an extra blanket make the difference between practising well the next morning and not. Prop supply on site is limited, so bringing a mat plus a bolster or two blocks and a strap supports the restorative, yin and myofascial blocks. A foam roller or massage ball in the car, magnesium, and layers for cool evenings are worth packing. There is no shower block, so a solar shower is the organizer's own suggestion. Bring a reusable cup or bottle: water comes from a spigot on site

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