Aerial yoga classes and eco-eating are just a couple of the innovative offerings
on tap at the 5th annual , to take place
over the weekend of February 2-3 at the Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater.

The company called Elevate Yoga & Wellness will have teachers flying over
the festival grounds both days, inviting attendees to try their traditional asanas
in the air. With the support of soft, hammock-style silk slings, participants will
learn how to integrate body, breath, movement, and meditative awareness
while floating above the crowd.

As always, the festival will also feature more traditional yoga classes and chakra
balancing in the Mind/Body Zone.

Across the way on the Apple Stage, festival-goers can drop in to hear the panel
on Eco Activism featuring Yolanda Soto (executive director of Borderlands
Food Bank) and Keith Tharp (executive director of Sustainable Seacoast).
Other keynote speakers include Tess Chalis on “Veg Marketing & PR” and
Robyn Landis on “How to Eat for Energy and Optimal Health.”

A panel of medical doctors, including Orestes Gutierrez and Bobby Price, will
cover how plant-based foods can serve not only as nutrition but also as
medicine for a variety of common illnesses. Kicking it up another notch, the
Super Fit athletes panel will feature champion bodybuilders Ndem Nkem and
Robert Cheeke.

A variety of celebrity chefs will be on hand to demo and sample their ground-
breaking vegan dishes. The cooking stage is sponsored by Chef Jason Wyrick
who will feature new recipes from his recently opened restaurant, Casa Terra.
