The inaugural OM Yoga Festival will be happening July 20-21 at Rotary Hall inside Woodlawn Regional Park. This will be the first official yoga festival to be held in the Estevan area.
OM Yoga Festival will include two days filled with yoga classes, meditation, informative workshops, creative classes and live music.
The first day begins with registration at 7 a.m. Festival goers will customize their day(s) and choose from the following classes: Vibe with your Asana, taught by Kelsey Rydberg; Parasympathetic Flow with Colin Hall of Bodhi Tree Yoga in Regina; Happy Soles with Sarah Garden of Bodhi Tree Yoga in Regina; Feel your Yoga with Heidi Hesselink and Marissa Tisdale; Reconstruct your Down Dog by Garden, and Fearless Heart by Kim Mayuk.
There will be two late afternoon workshops: Close your Eyes and Watch them Spin, which is a 2 1/2-hour immersion with Hall; and Mala Workshop with Mud and Lotus of Red Deer.
The day will wrap up with an energized glow yoga dance party led by Hall and a relaxing fire and moon ceremony led by Rydberg.
The second day includes Gentle Sunrise Flow at Boundary Dam Beach Site led by Mayuk; Yoga for your Back led by Garden; Meditation and Hike with Marissa Tisdale; Asana Remix by Hall; Metta Flow with Ashley Hodgkin and Lacey Lloyd of Sadhana Yoga; and Breath and Bodhi by Garden.
The day will conclude with a blissful sound meditation led by Mud and Lotus and a closing ceremony with the OMies, who are the OM Yoga Studio’s teachers.
There will also be an “OMazing Market” showcasing health and wellness vendors from across Saskatchewan. The market will be free for the public to walk through, browse and shop from the vendors.
“We hope to have as many local vendors as possible to showcase the health and wellness options that are available in our community,” wrote Kim Mayuk with OM Yoga Studio.
A vegetarian lunch, with a vegan option, is provided for festival attendees. The lunch will be crafted by Dave and Diane Rosenbaum of EB’s Dining.
The teachers of OM Yoga Studio are looking forward to seeing everyone roll out their mats this summer at this event.
