Yoga fans get ready to hit a stretch of desert for Bhakti Fest West

Yogis across the West and beyond are limbering up for yoga, kirtan and meditation at Bhakti Fest West, Sept. 9-14 at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center.

Like a grand buffet of all things yoga, the seventh annual festival combines nonstop music on two stages, plant-based food, a colorful marketplace of eco-friendly and sustainable gear, arts, crafts and spiritual music and literature, united by a vibe of compassion, love and charity.

The scheduled 12 hours of daily yoga offers an immersion in practice styles. Led by renowned teachers such as Saul David Raye, Shiva Rea, Yogi Cameron and Sianna Sherman, sessions can resemble joyous dance parties, serene moving meditations or energizing workouts to sacred music.
