Yoga on the Mountain Festival returns to Paris, AR, Oct 15 to 18, 2026. Froligo tracks current ticket prices, camping, attendee feedback and travel details.
What it stands for
The festival describes itself as less of an event and more of a homecoming: it was started because the region's yoga community deserved a place to come together, and it stays centered on great teachers, full classes, late nights around the fire and a schedule where beginners and experienced practitioners both belong. The organizer encourages solo travelers, roommates and new friendships, and frames the mountain itself as part of the practice
The experience
What's special
A four-day mountain yoga festival held each October at Mount Magazine State Park, on Arkansas's highest point at 2,753 feet. Founded in 2014 and now in its thirteenth year, YOTM fills the Lodge at Mount Magazine and its bluff-side cabins with more than 70 sessions: over 50 classes spanning yin, somatic yoga, Pilates, barre, breathwork and meditation, plus guided hikes and foraging walks into the Ozarks, wellness talks, floating sound baths in the lodge pool, a vendor and maker market, shared meals, evening live music and social events. Attendees stay where the festival happens, at the lodge, cabins or nearby campgrounds, and build their own weekend from gentle to advanced
The practice
beginner to advanced. Designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The schedule runs from gentle and accessible to advanced and physically demanding, so attendees build their own weekend; guided hikes and foraging walks add moderate outdoor activity on park trails
Long, passive floor holds that reach deep tissue. Slow, quiet and meditative.
Slow, exploratory movement focused on how it feels rather than how it looks.

Camping & Accommodation
Where can I stay near Yoga on the Mountain Festival?
Mid-range hotels 1
577 Lodge Drive, inside the state park: this IS the festival venue. 60 rooms on the south bluff with the Skycrest Restaurant, heated indoor pool, hot tub and fitness center. Book with festival Group ID 1006147 (the organizer's group rate; it activates when tickets launch and was slated to expire by end of August, so confirm whether it still applies) or call 479-963-5151. Friday and Saturday nights were almost full by early September; Thursday had rooms
Book direct →Luxe hotels 1
Thirteen cabins near the lodge inside the park, each with a private outdoor hot tub; the festival's premium sleep option, bookable at 479-963-5261 under the same festival group rate. Three ADA accessible cabins are available on request
Book direct →Airbnb & private camping
Inventory near the mountain is thin: Paris and Havana at the mountain's base are small towns, and most Airbnbs sit 30 to 60 minutes out toward the Arkansas River Valley. The organizer itself lists Airbnbs as the fallback once the lodge, cabins and campgrounds fill. Book early and check drive times; the mountain road climb adds time to any listing's stated distance
Search Airbnb →Camping is the festival's stated overflow plan and it is genuinely close: Mount Magazine Campground is 3 minutes from the lodge (Brown Springs area has 6 first come, first served spots; the organizer recommends Thursday arrival; book tent and RV sites through the Mount Magazine Visitor Center, 479-963-8502), Cove Lake Campground is about 20 minutes down the mountain with lakeside sites and tiny cabins (479-963-6421), and Blue Mountain Lake Campground is about 30 minutes (479-947-2101). October nights at 2,753 feet run cool. Hipcamp adds private land options in the river valley
