In 2019, Driftless Yoga Festival was founded on the tribal land of Meskwaki/Ho-Chunk/Winneabago land; now referred to as Decorah, Iowa. Driftless Yoga Festival hopes to serve the larger community through the experience of connecting equity and movement in an event you’ve never experienced before. We’re doing this a little differently: opportunities to take deep dives through indoor and outdoor workshops,  plus we’re supporting our local community through our Sangha (community) Bag. Plus, proceeds from our tickets sales & merchandise will go directly to local non-profits! Are you excited? Join us!
