Our Mission:

To manifest a diverse yoga experience that welcomes everyone equally and to direct yoga’s arrow to compassionate activism.

​We do this by collaborating with people and organizations who are devoted to raising the collective vibration as activists and masters of their crafts.

For millennia people have looked to yoga for wellness, serenity, and self-acceptance and to understand that everyone deserves these same things.

​The Love♡Shine♡Play is an invitation to conscious connection and compassion, through practice, discussion, communion with nature & celebration.

​Come join us; Love. Shine. Play.

Our History:

Since 2016, The Love♡Shine♡Play Festival (previously Asheville Yoga Festival) has been working to bring the gift of yoga to Asheville through a weekend filled with world-class instructors, dynamic musicians, motivating speakers and a diversity of vendors.

​Co-Owners, Amanda Hale and Sara LaStella have made it their mission to grow the festival into the pre-eminent yoga, health & wellness event in the Southeast. Thank you for joining in the adventure!
