FAQ

What is a yoga festival?

The New Orleans Yoga Festival is an urban yoga and wellness celebration, held across the indoor spaces of Republic NOLA and Arora. Together, these venues create a multi-room playground for yoga, music, lectures, food, vendors, and more—big enough to host up to 1,400 people. Think of it as a weekend of community, practice, and celebration under one roof.

How do I redeem my tickets?
