Winter YogaFest 2026 - A Seeker's Life: Yoga & the Invitation to Meaning


  • Dig Yoga 34 Bridge Street Frenchtown United States (map)

Winter invites us inward — to reflect, reset, and rekindle the spark of curiosity. Join us this February for a warm, heart-centered winter gathering designed to reconnect you with what matters most. Together we’ll explore story, philosophy, and practice in community as we open the new year with purpose, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to living our yoga.

Most of us want to know where we came from, how we got here, and where we’re going. There is a seed of curiosity and an inner calling in each of us. In this gathering, we’ll look at how yoga traditions have defined the seeker and what they have to say about life that invites us to more than our duties and responsibilities. Stories from the Rg Veda, the Upanishads, the Epics and Puranas will provide us with all we need to ask what’s life for and what could it be about?

Expect to explore classical teachings alongside skillful, grounded yoga practices to help you remember your direction, build inner steadiness, and return home renewed and inspired.
