Tips for building your Schedule

The 2024 Berkshire Yoga Festival will showcase over 100+ offerings across 4 days.

One of the most exciting parts in planning for the festival is building your schedule. Chances are, as soon as you purchase your pass, you will have started to populate your weekend schedule with Sched.

Depending on your pass, you will have a set amount of regular sessions, unlimited community events and options to upgrade into special workshops and classes.

To make the most of your time here, we have a few tips to help build out your daily itinerary.

Book 3-5 sessions per day

Depending on your pass, when you arrive and when you plan to depart, guests are usually to book between 3-5 sessions per day. Of course, if you run low on session passes, there will be the opportunity to book into additional session closer to the festival if you want to experience even more presenters.

Practice Ahimsa: take care of your body

If you aren’t used to back-to-back asana classes and the vibrant energy of festivals, you may burn out quickly. For even the most seasoned yogis, we recommend weaving in lectures, talks, sound healing and breaks (whether that is to shop in our amazing vendor village or to take a mid day nap).

Don’t forget to eat!

With so many amazing presenters it is easy to forget to pause to nourish the body with a meal. Whether you stop to sit down for a meal at one of the restaurants at Jiminy Peak or pack something to-go, be sure to budget enough time for your meals.

Your schedule doesn’t need to be set in stone

While we do highly recommend booking into your “must-see” sessions in case they fill up, the beauty of Sched is that you can update your schedule at any time, right up to the time of class! Just click on the class you want to leave (you will see the check-mark disappear") and click onto the new session you wish to join
