2027 Global Integral Yoga Celebration at Yogaville

Some mornings the mind quiets only when the setting around it does. The 2027 Global Integral Yoga Celebration brings a yoga festival to Satchidananda Ashram – Yogaville in Buckingham, Virginia, a place devoted to peace and to the practice of Integral Yoga. On a Thursday in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, the day gathers teachers, musicians, and fellow practitioners around a shared way of living yoga.

The celebration is led by Swami Ramananda, Avi Gordon, Swami Asokananda, Swami Karunananda, and Nalanie Harilela Chellaram, a lineup that pairs yoga teaching with music. If you are weighing whether to come, it suits anyone drawn to Integral Yoga, whether you already practice, teach, or simply want to spend a day inside an ashram community.

The organizer has not published a detailed schedule, so this description keeps to what is known: who is teaching and performing, and where it happens.
