Nantucket, MA (PRWEB) May 11, 2015 -- Dharma Yoga Nantucket today announces the fourth annual Nantucket Yoga Festival will be held July 10-12, 2015 on Nantucket, MA. Nantucket was recently named the number one island in the world by National Geographic.
Offering classes, workshops, and a marketplace open to the public, the festival will feature more than 20 internationally acclaimed instructors.
“The Nantucket Yoga Festival brings together world-class yoga instructors, wellness experts, and healthy living guides, for one transformational weekend.” promises Joann Burnham, festival producer and director of Dharma Yoga Nantucket. “While there may be other yoga festivals, there is only one Nantucket. The island of Nantucket has consistently inspired conscious living, the independent spirit and creative collaboration.
"My hope is that by coming together to learn from this amazing panel of instructors, participants will be inspired to make positive changes in their life, in their community and ultimately, in the world," added Burnham.
This year’s featured instructors are Beryl Bender Birch and Anand Mehrotra.
Beryl Bender Birch is the Founder of The Hard & The Soft Yoga Institute and The Give Back Yoga Foundation and has been studying and teaching yoga and meditation for over 40 years. She is the author of four books on yoga, including the best selling Power Yoga.
Anand Mehrotra is a visionary master teacher, community and thought leader, and conscious entrepreneur. Born and raised in Rishikesh, India – the birthplace of yoga – Anand combines the ancient wisdom of his upbringing with a lighthearted rebelliousness to support the transcendence of the individual and the collective. He is the founder of Sattva Yoga in India.
Participating yogis include Michelle Dortignac creator of Unnata Aerial Yoga, Claire Hartley owner of Rising Lotus Yoga in Los Angeles, Lindel Hart of Hart Yoga, Yogi Varuna, J. Brown and Boston favorite David Vendetti co-owner of South Boston Yoga.
