Join us for a refreshing and fun weekend that won't bust the bank. Yoga Jambalaya has become a tradition in the Yosemite area community. It's an opportunity to give a boost to your yoga practice, connect with friends old and new, or pamper yourself for a day or a weekend. Our schedule is very flexible, you can drop in for one or two classes and lunch, or get a room at the Bug Resort and make a weekend of it.

The instructors for this event are all practiced yoga teachers from the Yosemite area, Bay Area and beyond. There is no pre-registration neccessary, just show up 15 minutes before your session to enroll. You can be spontaneous!

Highlights:

Yoga classes all day Saturday to pick from.
A variety of teachers and focuses to choose from.
Open access to the spa facilities at the Bug Resort, hot tub and sauna.
Lodging and fresh meals available on site.
The best time of year to experience Yosemite without the crowds
