Yoga Fest 2026 Benefit Class

Please join us for a special benefit class to support Laurel House, whose vision is ending domestic violence in each life, home, and community.

October 3rd, 7:30-8:30am Vinyasa Class with Jenn McCracken

Yoga Fest 2026, is a collaborative effort of studios across the Philadelphia region the weekend of October 2-4, 2026. All proceeds will benefit Laurel House in Norristown, Pennsylvania. October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, so the timing is intended to raise awareness and engage the local Philadelphia yoga community to participate together in this charitable event.

We are partnering with Laurel House, www.laurel-house.org, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to the vision of ending domestic violence in each life, home, and community. Laurel House offers a hotline and textline, housing, supportive services, community education, advocacy and accompaniment. Last year, safe shelter was provided for 111 adults and 98 children.
