We are passionate about living a full, healthy, vibrant life and our offerings focus on using the power of community and nature as tools to feel more connected to ourselves.
We believe in community and are proud to say we bring in people from many diverse backgrounds to our offerings, we bring in teachers from all around the world, as well as many different yoga studios and local businesses.
We are a small business and we know that we can always do better when we work together.

Festival Attendance

New This Year ~ Corporate Wellness Package
We don't need research (though we have lots) to show us that our employees work better and are more productive and creative when they are healthier in their bodies. The past few decades we have seen a huge trend in big businesses understanding that putting employees’ mental and physical health as a priority is not only the compassionate thing to do, but a smart business decision as well.
Our festival prioritizes mental and physical health by placing a large focus on brining in mental health experts and wellness professionals. They are available to teach and provide direct experience with healing modalities and clinically proven tools to reduce stress and become healthier in both mind and body.
This year we are so excited to attract more professionals that deserve and need a break. At the festival we are immersed in nature, which we now know is the antithesis of being glued to our devices. Walking barefoot on the earth has an array of physical benefits and quickly can bring the nervous system out of fight or flight. Even if you aren't quite prepared to spend the weekend completely barefoot, we promise you will leave the weekend with a sense of rejuvenation and many new or sharpened wellness tools to take home with you.
When you purchase 5 or more passes for you company/business, large or small, we will provide a discount of 30% off the current price rate.
For ticket bundles of 20 or more you will receive 50% off.
For ticket bundles of 100 or more you will receive 50% off and you will be upgraded to a Barefoot Sponsor and you will receive all of our Exclusive Sponsorship benefits.

Calling All Yoga Studios ~
We are looking to create some powerful partnerships with studios this year!
If you are a yoga studio or a pilates/workout/HIIT/ trainer/wellness guide we invite you to partner with us this year!
We have an amazing audience of over 10,000 passionate yoga and wellness enthusiasts that we can help you reach!
Every year we receive incredible feedback from teachers who get the chance to share their passion at Barefoot. People come eager, excited and ready to receive your authentic style and offerings. Many previous studios and teachers tell us how students found them at Barefoot! We provide the perfect teaching environment.
When you partner with Barefoot, we:
Showcase your studio with a teacher presenting at Barefoot
Showcase your studio during social media lives and email marketing.
Can offer a % discount on bulk festival passes for your students with incentives like upgrading to VIP after 20 passes sold and the chance to be a part of our welcome night the Thursday before!
In exchange, we ask for flier distribution, email inclusion, and social media marketing.
We ask that anyone who wants to present complete an application. We require YTT teachers only with at least 2 years experience and experience teaching over 50 in-person public classes. We aim to provide only the best of the best!
