Several substantial yoga festivals remain after August 19, 2026. This is a verified shortlist, not a ranking: Sedona, Ericeira, Big Bear, Tahiti, and Båstad each publish current dates through an organizer, venue, or official tourism source. Programs and ticket inventory can still change.
| Compare | Dates | Format and setting |
|---|---|---|
| Sedona Yoga Festival | October 1–4 | Multi-day Arizona program with yoga, Ayurveda, keynotes, excursions, music, and continuing education |
| Ericeira Wander Yogi Festival | October 1–4 | Portugal retreat and day-pass format across neighboring venues |
| Big Bear Yoga Festival | October 2–4 | Southern California weekend with a main festival day, hikes, meditation, music, and vendors |
| Tahiti Yoga Festival | October 16–18 | Three-day program in Arue combining yoga, meditation, workshops, and Polynesian cultural context |
| Yoga Games Båstad | November 13–15 | Hotel-based Swedish event with selectable classes, workshops, [breathwork](/article/the-quiet-rise-of-breathwork), running, and a health fair |
Sedona: October 1–4
Sedona Yoga Festival describes a broad conference-style program rather than a single-style practice weekend. The organizer lists yoga, Ayurveda, keynotes, excursions, sound healing, continuing education, performances, kirtan, and conversation. Its schedule was due to be announced at the end of August, so the final teacher-by-teacher timetable should be checked before travel becomes non-refundable.
Ericeira: October 1–4
The Wander Yogi's fifth Ericeira edition offers an October 1–4 retreat pass and shorter day-pass access on the central festival days. The event uses Casa Paço d'Ilhas and Alma do Paço. That split makes it more flexible than an all-inclusive retreat, but travelers still need to distinguish festival access from lodging.
Big Bear: October 2–4
Big Bear's main festival day is Saturday, October 3, with Friday welcome programming and Sunday hike, yoga, and brunch experiences. The official schedule identifies the Performing Arts Center as the main Saturday venue and describes classes, guided activities, vendors, and celebration programming.
Tahiti: October 16–18
Tahiti Tourisme confirms October 16–18 at Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts in Arue. The destination is a major part of the proposition, but that makes practical scrutiny more important: clarify what a pass covers, which optional immersions cost extra, and whether hotel inventory and flights are refundable.
Båstad: November 13–15
Yoga Games Båstad takes place at Hotel Skansen in Sweden. The official event describes class selection across the weekend, while the hotel explicitly notes that its accommodation package does not include the yoga ticket. That distinction is easy to miss and worth checking before checkout.
How to evaluate a yoga festival
- Read the timetable and teacher bios rather than buying from the destination image alone
- Check whether the ticket includes accommodation, meals, excursions, equipment, and airport transfers
- Confirm the experience level and physical demands of booked classes
- Look for refund, transfer, weather, and presenter-change terms
- Price the complete trip—including ground transport—not only the festival pass
- Choose enough unscheduled time that the weekend does not become an endurance event
What this list does not promise
Inclusion does not mean bendiii has attended, tested every class, or endorsed every wellness claim made by a presenter. It means the event and late-2026 date could be verified from a primary organizer, venue, or official destination source at the research cutoff.
