Are you ready to experience a yoga festival but not sure what to pack—or expect? Whether it’s a mat bag to make traveling between venues easier, your go-to water bottle for 24/7 hydration, or comfy shoes, it’s essential to have the right things.
We chatted with Kyle Michaud, the founder of The Yoga Expo, on what a fun, all-day yoga festival is all about—and what to bring!
The Yoga Expo LA is an opportunity for like-minded individuals to come together and experience a day full of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. Our event comprises nearly 200 exhibitors and sponsors, over 70 yoga instructors from around the world, and more than 12,000 members of the worldwide yoga community. It’s a one-day experience featuring renowned teachers and a marketplace filled with unique yoga apparel and accessories, vegan food and beverages, and other brands and organizations that will help you stay happy and healthy. There’s also a sound healing stage, and power vinyasa and inversion classes!
In 2018, nearly 250 teachers from all around the globe applied to teach at The Yoga Expo LA. Year after year, we pride ourselves on offering the most diverse selection of yoga classes, workshops, and keynotes available in the global market. In 2019, we have two teachers flying from as far as Australia to lead classes on stage! Aerial Yoga, Face Yoga, Handstands 101, we have it all. With over 60 classes and workshops offered, we recommend attendees build their schedule online before the big day to avoid major FOMO.
While our event is indoors and we have plenty of amenities to make sure everyone has a comfortable, safe experience, hydration and rest are key to enjoying the entire day!
BYOM—bring your own mat! Also, keep your phone handy to take Insta-worthy photos and even save contact info of new friends you might meet.
My favorite moments are seeing the happiness on people’s faces as they explore our venue to unwind and enjoy the positive energy from everyone around them. Our lives have somehow become so stressful and demanding, and the time we take for ourselves is so often displaced for others. I think this is a significant driver for attendance—mindfulness and yoga are in high demand, as we hear our physicians, leaders, and close family and friends coming to realize the importance of self-care. When you listen to yourself, everything comes naturally, and that’s the purpose of meditation and yoga. That’s the purpose of Yoga Expo.
