Mountain Village – Telluride – Colorado | July 10-12, 2009
In honor of the founder of Ashtanga Yoga, world-class yoga instructors lead a wide range of workshops at festival with expanded public programs, music and performances, and a commitment to environmentalism.

Founded in Telluride and nestled in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, the three-day festival was created with a commitment to protect and preserve the environment by donating 25 percent of the festival’s net proceeds annually to non-profit environmental organizations. Proceeds of the 2009 Festival will be donated to the Telluride chapter of the Nature Conservancy.
The event will begin with daily morning meditation followed by three two-hour workshops, and will feature a variety of free public events for participants and families, including:
- An evening sunset Kirtan opened by Prema Shakti and led by David Russell and Holly Hartmann
- Yoga performances by Júlia Horn of Tripsichore Yoga and Amity Mead
- Spinning pyrotechnics display by local welder, artist and pyro-maestro Anton Viditz-Ward
- Hula Hooping, Monkey Chanting and Acro-yoga
