The festival has countless healthy, fun and relaxing experiences and is open to all: it is perfect for beginners and those new to yoga who want to learn more and great for those who practice sometimes, are experienced yogis or are yoga teachers!

Classes will be right on the beach, so you can roll out your mat or beach blanket right on the sand while the Pacific Ocean is crashing right next to you.

Classes will be held every hour on the hour until sunset and will present almost every style of yoga known to modern-day yogis for every level of student, along with holistic classes, workshops and unique So-Cal experiences.

Along with this, you can experience some of the yummiest and healthiest food presented by So-Cal local food trucks and vendors, along with some of the coolest product vendors with all types of holistic products and yoga clothes in our beachside vending area! Our vending area will also offer live music, DJs, fun healing centers with interactive experiences and a relaxing, healing center offering donation based massage, reiki, acupuncture and fire cupping services!

Drawing Abundance and Prosperity into your Life:

Hang with the founder of San Diego Yoga Festival, Shawna Schenk, and learn how she went from a person who thought money was evil and (barely) lived pay-check-to-pay-check to an abundant and prosperous business owner in the Yoga and Reiki world (a field people stereotypically believe has no financial future!). Her life is full of money and abundance while doing what she loves.
​
This all-day intensive will teach you to:

• connect and flow with money
• establish new and healthy relationships with money
• draw abundance into your life quickly and potently

You will experience:

• abundance herbs
• establish a daily practice with mudras, chants, and sound healing to release money blockages and call in prosperity
• connect with money goddesses
• understand crystals that are powerful money drawers

​
You will engage in various money drawing exercises, meditations and rituals. Shawna has led this workshop a number of times and students immediately see a pay increase within a week of the class.
