The Cannon Beach Yoga Festival is a wonderful opportunity for those new to the preactice of yoga as well as those that have been teaching for years. Beginner or experienced you can come and explore something new as well as deepen your practice. An open mind is the greatest asset for your festival experience; you will find many new ideas

If you choose the Festival Participant Pass, in addition to your 10 hours of workshops you have access to: Morning Meditation, Saturday night Community Gathering & Kirtan, Sunday evening Closing Ceremony, the Yoga Lounge, and festival shuttle service (schedule in welcome packet). You may add the optional workshops to your schedule for an addition fee.

If you choose the Festival Guest Pass, you may register for the optional workshops of Yoga Figure Drawing and Nada Yoga, and the Saturday night Community Gathering & Kirtan. 

We suggest that you bring your yoga mat and any props that you regularly use in your practice. A blanket or meditation cushion is helpful if you plan to participate in meditation. You may also want to bring a notebook and pen, a refillable water bottle, slip-on shoes and of course, comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely. Please read course descriptions carefully for other required items. These items may also be for sale on site during the Welcome and registration check-in. Or preorder items you need from Longevity Manzanita or Surya Essence, and have them waiting for you.

Some of the workshops at the festival are eligible for Continuing Education Credits with Yoga Alliance. To receive Yoga Alliance credits, simply save a copy of your workshop record (either your badge or confirmation email.) Separate certificates are not needed for Yoga Alliance.
