New York City’s first yoga festival created for the community, by the community. The event was first organized in 2017 by Lara Land and NY YOGA + LIFE magazine, drawing 2000+ attendees to the Adam Clayton Powell State Office Building Plaza. In its’ second year, SOULFest continues the mission of bringing affordable access to yoga, fitness and health opportunities. The free festival offers classes in English and Spanish and reflects the diversity of New York City through engaging, inspirational and approachable programming.

SOULFest NYC is redefining and expanding the concept of the yoga festival experience, and what a ‘yogi’ looks like. This event is free, easily accessible by public transportation, and represents the diversity of our city. SOULFest NYC reflects our hope for what the future of the yoga community can be.

Land Yoga is a Harlem based yoga studio which opened in 2011 to sold-out crowds. We believe anyone can practice yoga and teach the Ashtanga Yoga method in Mysore style and led classes where it is easily adapted to each individual’s ability regardless of age or physical fitness. In addition to regular classes, Land Yoga hosts regular children’s programs, meditation, sound baths, and other workshops designed to soothe and elevate. We also offer wellness services such as acupuncture, massage, and counseling.

The extraordinary team at Land is highly trained and well versed at working with injury and other limitations. Led by Authorized Level 2 teacher and owner Lara Land, they are dedicated to providing a uniquely personal experience to each and every student.
