Mission & History
Mission
Our mission is to lift people through yoga, wellness, and connection with nature.
Our vision is to foster health and wellness in our community and beyond by creating an intimate, authentic, world-class yoga festival filled with yoga, music, meditation, outdoor events, community events, wellness vendors, and more.
We aim to make yoga, health, and wellness accessible to every BODY, build a sense of commUNITY, and we are dedicated to creating unique programming that can only be experienced in Telluride.
History
Since 2007, The Telluride Yoga Festival has been working to bring the gift of yoga, in all of its many forms, to Telluride for a weekend filled with world-class teachers, scholars, artists, and musicians.
Our goal is to create an intimate and authentic weekend of workshops, classes, discussions, and gatherings that celebrate yoga. We believe that yoga (including asana, breathing, meditation, and more) is a tangible tool for transforming human consciousness and that there is no better place to celebrate the benefits of yoga than in Telluride.
Co-owners Albert Roer and Erika Henschel purchased the festival from the founder in 2013 and have fostered the TYF community and retained the intimacy while growing the festival's reach and its offerings.
Today, the festival brings over 1000 attendees to Telluride each June with over 100 events throughout the weekend both in the Town of Telluride and at their campus located in Mountain Village.
