PAST FESTIVALS

Community together for a family-friendly day of yoga, music, food, laughter and love. It is an
annual event and is hosted by the breathtakingly beautiful Sunken Gardens
http://www.stpete.org/attractions/sunken_gardens. Experience many different types of
yoga, music, speakers and exhibitors including local yoga studios, health conscious businesses
and local shops. Every year there is a Raffle to benefit Embracing the World Charities both
