You are also able to print your schedule as well if you do not have a smartphone.

  • Please allow the students from the last class to exit before you enter the class. Check-in with our volunteers and allow yourself time to get settled. Some classes will be very full with little space between mats, so thank you in advance for being flexible as we make space for everyone.

    All sessions have a limited capacity. If you are on a waitlist for a class or are attending on a space-available basis, you will be allowed admission 5 minutes prior to the session beginning if there is room.

Parking & Getting Around

  • There is very limited parking on site. All attendees driving a car will have to purchase a parking pass. We encourage you to car pool together and walk to the festival. The majority of the parking spots are at the bottom of the hill.

  • Once you are at West Mountain Inn you have access to all of the classes and workshops. We have done our best to create the smallest footprint possible, as well as allow ample time between classes for easy transitions. Depending on your schedule, you will have anywhere from 30-60 minutes between sessions. We always suggest you make time in your schedule to rest, nourish your body, and enjoy Vermont. Please familiarize yourself with the festival map for the location of the venues. If you have any questions about moving between venues, please let us know.
