Nestled amidst the enchanting landscapes of The Caverns, a world-renowned venue celebrated for its underground concert hall and natural splendor, awaits an extraordinary experience: Body & Soul - Yoga & Music Festival at The Caverns. Taking place on September 7 & 8 in rural Tennessee, this festival promises a harmonious blend of yoga serenity and musical vibrancy, inviting attendees to immerse themselves in a transformative journey above and below the Earth’s surface.
During the day, Body & Soul’s esteemed yoga and workshop instructors will lead a diverse array of rejuvenating sessions in serene locations across The Caverns' realm, including the majestic cave venue, a second otherworldly cave, the scenic outdoor amphitheater, and the bucolic campground. As the sun sets, live music takes center stage deep underground with performances by Snatam Kaur, Simrit, The Mayapuris, Incendio, HuDost, and Coco & Breezy.
“We've hosted popular cave yoga sessions before, and now, for a full weekend, we're diving even deeper,” said Todd Mayo, The Caverns owner. "We’re uniting yoga, music, and the stunning natural landscape of The Caverns for a 2-day transformative festival designed for curious yogis of all skill levels.”
Body & Soul attendees can look forward to exploring yoga practices like Katonah Yoga®, vinyasa flow yoga, partner yoga, and Ashtanga yoga. Workshops will delve into teachings on Patañjali’s yoga philosophy, arm & hand balancing techniques, chant techniques, myofascial release techniques, contact improv dance, Sufi whirling, and more. To deepen attendees’ connections with themselves and the broader world, sessions are offered to study astrology and creative writing. All told, Body & Soul attendees will have an opportunity to choose a transcendent journey at The Caverns all their own.
