The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word Yoga is ‘Yoke’.

The Driftless Yoga Festival exists in that spirit of connection, to create a ripple effect throughout the Upper Iowa River Valley and beyond. We invite you to Solstice among the breathtaking bluffs of Northeast Iowa’s Driftless area when the Upper Iowa River is in full summer flow. Move with a brilliant collective of instructors and others, among the region’s rich and unique Iowa topography. Beyond movement, the Driftless Yoga Festival is about breath, slowness, and binding us to the fact that we are all moving tributaries to something greater.
