A Midsummer Nights Yoga Jam Dream
The Floyd Yoga Jam needs help from the Tribe to be the Best Little Yoga Festival on the East Coast.
Meet Laura & Shirleyann, two single Pisces moms and yoginis, from the sleepy little town of Floyd, who conceived an improbable idea… a 3 day, Outdoor Festival full of Music, Movement, Magic & Art, nestled in the valley of a small farm in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural Virginia.
The duo leveraged all their savings, enlisted the help of friends and neighbors, created the Dancin’ Dakinis production company and embarked on a 5 year odyssey to build a unique, homegrown festival designed to nourish the body, heart and soul.
Enter the Floyd Yoga Jam! Known by followers as the Best Little Independent Yoga Festival on the East Coast, has grown from 700 to over 2500+ attendees who come together every Labor Day Weekend in early September to celebrate their love of Yoga, Dance, Art, Music, Great Food and Community!
This is the 5th year and the theme: A Midsummer Nights Dream.
With Capital Investment of $20,000 or more, the Floyd Yoga Jam can achieve some very important goals in order of importance and priority:
The more support we receive, the more we can achieve!
Everyone who contributes receives a perk and our undying love gratitude plus bragging rights! You can get:
The World needs places like the Floyd Yoga Jam!
The Floyd Yoga Jam is a production of the Dancin’ Dakinis, the Community of Floyd, VA and People like You! People who believe they can make a difference in a world of divisiveness, corporate greed and extractive economies. This is an event that brings people of all ages, creeds and colors together to experience a safe place to play, grow and transform.
This incredible journey could not have reached this point without the creative passion of Laura & Shirleyann or the Love and Support of the Yoga Jam Tribe! With continued support we can craft an even more outstanding festival and reach more souls and spread more Love!
From the very beginning of this journey, there were people who said it couldn’t be done. People wouldn’t come. Local banks didn’t want to lend money. Business didn’t want to sponsor such a crazy scheme. Narrow minds didn’t want people practicing strange religions or speaking weird words like Namaste’ or Yoga. County Supervisors were worried about crowds and trash.
The Floyd Yoga Jam has been building bridges since it’s very first festival! Taxes have been paid. Businesses have seen increased sales. Visitors have experienced the beauty and charm of Floyd County. The word of this improbable event has spread and devotees have returned year after year.
Not meeting the Capital Investment Goal means the Floyd Yoga Jam might not be able to provide special touches as soon as hoped. But we can’t stop now…this is just too important not to work just a little harder to be the Best Little Independent Yoga Festival on the East Coast!
