Annalisa Berns, Director and Founder of the annual Big Bear Yoga Festival, is a pleasure to collaborate with! As the Featival grows and increases it's scope of movement & healing modalities, she is showing very mindful and progressive actions in drawing in a diverse group of professionals to share our perspectives on health and wellness. The Big Bear community and all participants travelling to this idyllic mountain retreat are truly getting treated to an International experience of the highest quality.

Read moreI am a yoga instructor in the San Gabriel Valley and I have been to many yoga festivals and conferences in the past 20 years. When the venue is good, it usually makes for a very expensive experience. Not only is the Big Bear Yoga Festival affordable, it is one of the best festivals I have been to.

If you have never been, you are missing a very lovely experuence. If you have been, I'm certain you will go again... and I will see you...

Class sizes are perfect and allow you to share with others intimately if you choose. The instructors are exceptional and varied so there are lots of styles of practice to choose from. I always leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and inspired to incorporate what I've learned in the classes. There's also wonderful vendors and other health related products so shopping is fun too. I'm looking forward to this year's fest which has expanded so they'll be even more room for the venue. See you...
