Your Guide to Rocket City Yoga Week

“If You Build It, They Will Come.” ~Field Of Dreams

I’ve Built It…Please Come!

For some time, I’ve longed to create a large-scale, community-minded yoga event in The Rocket City. When Healthy Huntsville 2013 was rolled out, I took a giant yogic breath, leapt off the proverbial ledge, and grew wings of courage and faith on the way down.

I emailed an all-star list of area yoga and meditation teachers and invited them to join me for a brand-new, first-of-its-kind event. Fast forward to today and this team of yoga and meditation rock stars has put together a phenomenal calendar of free yoga & meditation events across Huntsville & Madison.

Welcome To Rocket City Yoga Week!

36 Classes
12 Yoga & Meditation Teachers
5 Yoga Studios
7 Area Businesses & Parks
