The Sedona Yoga Festival is returning for 2026, and this year’s edition promises to be one of the most immersive yet. Scheduled for April 23-27 at the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock, the five-day gathering will bring together internationally respected yoga teachers, meditation guides, and wellness practitioners against the backdrop of Sedona’s iconic red rock formations.
For yoga practitioners considering attending, here’s everything you need to know about what this year’s festival has in store.
Over 150 Sessions Across Five Days
The 2026 Sedona Yoga Festival will feature more than 150 guided sessions spanning yoga classes, workshops, lectures, outdoor experiences, and complementary healing modalities. The programming covers a wide range of traditions and approaches, from classical yoga and Ayurveda to meditation, breathwork, and movement therapy.
Whether you are a dedicated practitioner looking to deepen your understanding of a specific lineage or a newcomer curious about the breadth of the yoga world, the festival’s diverse schedule is designed to accommodate all levels and interests.
A Diverse Lineup of Presenters
The festival has built a reputation for attracting a compelling mix of renowned yoga teachers, conscious leaders, and change-makers from around the globe. While the full lineup is still being finalized — organizers have indicated that approximately 40 additional presenters will be added to the roster — the confirmed speakers already represent a broad cross-section of the yoga and wellness world.
Past editions have featured teachers spanning Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Iyengar, and Ashtanga traditions, along with experts in sound healing, Ayurvedic medicine, and contemplative practices. Attendees can expect a similar blend of established voices and emerging thought leaders this year.
Beyond the Mat: Music, Sound Baths, and Community
One of the defining features of the Sedona Yoga Festival is its emphasis on experience beyond traditional asana practice. The event includes kirtan gatherings, sound bath experiences, sacred music performances, and live DJ sets that weave together movement, sound, and community connection.
The festival also features pre- and post-conference immersion experiences for those looking to extend their time in Sedona, as well as a curated expo showcasing conscious vendors and wellness brands.
Why Sedona?
Sedona has long been considered one of the most spiritually significant destinations in the United States. The region’s famous energy vortexes, dramatic canyon landscapes, and clear desert skies create an environment that many practitioners find uniquely conducive to introspection and practice. The choice of the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock places attendees within easy reach of several well-known vortex sites and hiking trails.
For yoga practitioners who have primarily experienced studio or gym-based practice, the outdoor setting offers a chance to reconnect with the natural world in a way that many teachers consider integral to the deeper aims of yoga.
