A glimpse into the weekend…

What is Mountain Top Yoga Jam?

Mountain Top Yoga Jam is a small, family-friendly festival gathering rooted in yoga, music, and community— held in the beauty of the low rolling mountains near Audra State Park.

It’s a place to move your body, listen deeply, and reconnect— with yourself, with others, and with the land.

At it’s heart, this gathering supports greater mental and physical wellness in Appalachia where access to these resources are deeply needed.

This isn’t a large commercial festival. It’s intentionally kept small so it can feel spacious, welcoming, and real. Come as strangers, leave as friends!
