Yoga Journal LIVE!, various dates and locations

The Yoga Journal Conference was one of the first on the scene about 20 years ago, and now holds events around the country. Unlike other festivals, it’s part conference since a certain percentage of classes are geared toward yoga instructors, while others drill down on topics like connective tissue.

That said, the conference attracts practitioners of all skill levels, plus it’s not lacking in the fun department since there’s a balanced mix of educational and playful classes. While there aren’t any late-night dance parties, the upcoming conference in San Diego, from June 24-27, offers classes devoted to the music of Prince, plus stand-up paddleboard yoga and yoga on the beach. The events also feature a packed lineup of celebrity yoga teachers, such as Seane Corn, Shiva Rea and Vinnie Marino.
