Yoga on the Mountain practice session

This is what a yoga
festival should feel like.

Yoga on the Mountain started in 2014 because Arkansas's yoga community deserved a place to come together. Thirteen years later, it's still the same thing: great teachers, full classes, late nights around the fire, and mornings that make you glad you came.

Mount Magazine sits at 2,753 feet — Arkansas's highest point. The air is different up there. So is the feeling of doing yoga next to strangers who become friends by Sunday.

Beginner or advanced, first time or fifth — you will fit in here. The schedule runs from gentle and accessible to physically demanding, so you build your own weekend based on where you are right now, not where you think you should be.

What fills the weekend

Four days.
More than you expect.

Yoga and movement classes
Yoga, Pilates & Barre

50+ classes across every style and level — from early morning flow to evening yin. Every hour of every day, something worth showing up for.

Hiking and foraging on the mountain
Hiking & Foraging

Mount Magazine's trails are part of the experience. Guided hikes and foraging walks take you into the Ozarks properly — the mountain deserves to be walked.

Yin yoga and sound bath
Yin Yoga & Sound Bath

For when you need to slow down inside of a busy weekend. These sessions tend to be people's favorites — deep stillness at altitude.

Wellness talks and meditation
Wellness Talks & Meditation

Guided meditations and wellness conversations that go beyond the mat into how you actually live — grounded, honest, and practical.

Music and social events
Live Music & Social Events

The evenings are their own thing. Music, gathering, good company — and the particular magic of being on a mountain after dark.

Meditation and somatic yoga
Meditation & Somatic Yoga

Sessions that work with the body from the inside out — nervous system awareness, breath, sensation, and the intelligence that lives beneath the surface.

Mount Magazine.
2,753 feet.
Arkansas's highest point.

Mount Magazine State Park sits on a flat-topped mountain in the Ozark National Forest — about two hours from Little Rock and three from Fayetteville. The park has a lodge, cabins, and some of the most dramatic views in the state.

October is the right time to be there. The air is cool, the leaves are turning, and the light in the morning is something you don't forget. It's not accidental that YOTM has always been held here. The place is part of what makes it work.

"Such a magical experience for nourishing yourself and making connections."

Lodging is available at the Mount Magazine State Park Lodge and cabins at a group rate for ticket holders. They fill up fast — book as soon as tickets go live on June 9th.

Holly Krepps — YOTM steward
New Stewardship

Holly Krepps
carries it
forward.

Yoga on the Mountain was founded in 2014 by Krista DeBuhr and Mary Fennel — two women who believed Arkansas' yoga community deserved a place to come together. What they built became the premier yoga festival in the state.

Holly Krepps, co-founder of Circle Yoga Shala, is now the steward of YOTM. With thirty years of yoga teaching behind her, Holly knows what makes a festival worth coming back to: good teachers, real practice, and a room where everyone belongs on the mat.

The spirit of what Krista and Mary built is very much alive. It has simply found new hands — and new intention.

Common
questions.

Do I need to be an experienced yogi to attend?

Not at all. The schedule includes classes for complete beginners and longtime practitioners. You choose what fits your level and your body — every hour of every day.

Where do people stay?

Mount Magazine State Park Lodge and cabins are available at a group rate for ticket holders. They fill up fast — book as soon as tickets go live on June 9th using group code #1006147. See the Lodging page for full details.

Can I attend for just one or two days?

Yes. Single-day tickets are available — though most people find the full four days worth it once they're there. The mountain has a way of making you want to stay.

Is this a good trip to do solo?

Yes, and a lot of people do. The format and the size of the event make it easy to meet people. You won't feel like a stranger for long.

What is the refund policy?

Tickets are non-refundable, but if your plans change you're welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else.

Is this a Circle Yoga Shala event?

YOTM is now stewarded by Holly Krepps, co-founder of Circle Yoga Shala — but it is its own event with its own community, history, and spirit. CYS members receive special access to in-person gatherings during YOTM as part of their membership benefits.
