About our Presenter Selection Process

We're incredibly grateful for the interest we receive from yoga teachers, facilitators, wellness professionals, and thought leaders who want to contribute to the Berkshire Yoga Festival experience.

Because presenter opportunities are limited, our teaching roster is primarily built through invitations extended by the festival team. This approach allows us to curate a diverse, high-quality program while maintaining the intentional and community-centered experience that Berkshire Yoga Festival is known for.

When considering presenters, we typically prioritize:

• Established leaders and recognized voices within their fields

• Educators with deep expertise, unique perspectives, or significant contributions to the wellness community

• Longstanding members of the Berkshire Yoga Festival community, including Studio Partners, returning presenters, sponsors, and other collaborators

• Individuals with whom we have built relationships through previous involvement with the festival

Each year, we receive far more teaching inquiries than we have available opportunities. As a result, many talented and qualified teachers are not invited to present. Presenter invitations are based on a variety of factors, including program needs, audience interests, existing relationships, and the overall balance of the festival schedule.

Due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we are unable to review or respond to unsolicited teaching proposals submitted outside of an official application process or invitation.
