Cannon Beach Yoga Festival Funded by Tourism & Arts Commission

November 16, 2010
The Tolovana Arts Colony has been awarded a grant through the Cannon Beach Tourism & Arts Commission to produce a yoga festival in Cannon Beach - $22,500!  So amazing!  And yet, it makes perfect sense!

Cannon Beach has so much to offer the visitor who is looking for a wellness getaway:  clean, fresh air; a glorious beach and forest; delicious & healthy meal options; lovely spas and an assortment of body work professionals (acupuncture, cranial sacral, massage, etc.); unique shops and galleries; and a variety of lodging options to meet every pocketbook - from ocean front to cabins and camping in the woods.

All of the details are being compiled ASAP, but here is what I know right now:
  • The festival is called:  Cannon Beach Yoga Festival
  • It will happen the last weekend of February:  2/26 & 2/27, with a welcome and registration the Friday night before.
  • There are three amazing teachers coming to teach 4 sessions each.  Take the opportunity to practice with each teacher, by choosing from any of the 12 sessions offered.  Or feel free to book all the sessions with one teacher.
  • The cost will be:  $325 or $295 early bird, before January 8.  And will include morning meditation, 10 hours of teaching and Community Kirtan.
  • The web site is coming soon, here is the link:  Cannon Beach Yoga Festival
  • The teachers are:  Alan FingerJulie Gudmestad; and Tiffany Cruikshank. View their web sites by clicking on their names.
  • There will be a Community Kirtan Event on Saturday evening.
  • The Cannon Beach community is planning special offers and events to welcome the yoga practitioners and help make their stay inviting and memorable.
Please help to make this a successful first year by joining us for the festivities, and tell your friends!
