• Dates: October 3–6, 2025; optional add-on immersions October 2 and October 7, designed for deeper study and integration.

The vision and its roots

• Inaugural edition: Organizers present 2025 as Tahiti’s first-ever yoga festival, created as a “soul-deep journey” that weaves ancient wisdom with modern modalities in a destination renowned for mana, or life force.
• A sister festival: The event is introduced as a sister gathering to Sedona Yoga Festival, inviting cross-community participation and offering a discounted pass bundle for travelers attending both.
• Inclusive by design: The festival is open to all levels, from newcomers to seasoned teachers, with a lineup of international presenters and facilitators and programming that supports accessibility and personal pacing.

Program highlights

• Ceremonies and culture: Opening ceremony on October 3 and a full-moon closing on October 6; cultural elements include Polynesian songs, dance, and rituals intended to anchor practice in the islands’ heritage.
• Classes and workshops: Yoga flows, pranayama, meditation, and specialized workshops (e.g., healing modalities, philosophy, integrative practices) scheduled across multiple days and spaces on property.
• Music and community: Evening music and community gatherings complement daytime sessions, with the oceanfront setting shaping the festival’s rhythm and social connections.

How to attend

• Passes and registration: Festival passes are sold via the official site; travel packages are available separately and do not include festival passes by default—attendees book lodging and passes in two steps.
• Travel packages: Sample packages pair Oceanview rooms at Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts with airport transfers and tours (e.g., a full-day Papenoo Valley 4×4 excursion), while clearly noting that festival passes are additional.
• Ways to be involved: The festival invites presenters and partners to apply through the official “Be Involved” portal, reflecting an ecosystem approach that welcomes teachers, brands, and service providers.

Why Tahiti, why October

• Setting with mana: With 118 islands and a fraction of the visitor density of many tropical destinations, The Islands of Tahiti offer uncrowded spaces and a profound connection to nature that align with contemplative practice.
• Seasonal sweet spot: Early October sees warm, calm conditions ideal for oceanfront ceremonies and outdoor practice, while aligning with shoulder-season travel windows for better availability.

A day at the festival

• Morning: Sunrise meditation on the lawn; dynamic flow or gentle practice tracks; mindful ocean time between sessions.
• Midday: Workshops on breath, philosophy, or integrative healing; nutritious lunch on property or nearby.
• Afternoon: Specialty classes and small-group sessions; quiet time for journaling or spa visits.
• Evening: Music, satsang-style talks, or cultural showcases; restful wind-down ahead of the next morning’s practice.

Practical travel tips

• Getting there: Fly into Faa’a International Airport (PPT) near Papeete; Arue is a short drive along the east coast road. Packages often include airport transfers and guaranteed early check-in/late checkout for smooth arrivals and departures.
• Where to stay: The host hotel places attendees at the heart of the program; alternative lodging nearby can work, but on-property stays maximize immersion and ease.
• What to pack: Lightweight yoga apparel, reef-safe sunscreen, a sun hat, refillable water bottle, travel yoga mat or mat towel, and a light layer for ocean breezes; consider earplugs and an eye mask for quality rest.

Wellness and cultural etiquette

• Hydration and pacing: Hydrate consistently and listen to the body; schedule rest pockets between workshops to avoid overloading on day one.
• Respect for place: Participate in cultural segments with openness; follow facilitators’ lead for rituals and land acknowledgements; photography etiquette applies during sacred moments.
• Sustainable choices: Use refill stations, minimize single-use plastics, and choose reef-friendly products to honor the islands’ fragile ecosystems.

Extend the experience

• Pre/post immersions: October 2 and 7 immersions encourage deeper study on either side of the main program—ideal for those seeking teacher development or personal exploration.
• Island add-ons: Combine the festival with a Moorea or Bora Bora escape, a lagoon sail, a Papenoo Valley 4×4 tour, or a coral nursery visit to extend healing time in nature.

Who will be there

• Presenters: The festival curates an international faculty drawn from yoga, meditation, sound, and integrative wellness. Founder interviews and social posts tease teacher reveals and the guiding ethos behind curation.
• Community: Attendees span teachers, health professionals, artists, entrepreneurs, therapists, and students from North America, Oceania, and Europe, with a welcoming lean toward travelers aged 40+ and first-timers to the islands.

Booking checklist
