The fifth annual Soul Yoga Fest brings a community wellness celebration to Kansas City at Uzazi Village in midtown. The day opens with a shared libation and seed planting in the Uzazi Garden, setting a welcoming tone for movement and mindfulness. Throughout the festival, more than ten free sessions invite people of all ages and experience levels to explore not only yoga but also dance, Tai Chi, and a range of workshops. Local vendors will be on site with wholesome foods and wellness services, and the event emphasizes broader access to health resources for underrepresented communities while embracing plant-based lifestyles and every body type. Opportunities are available for vendors, sponsors, and volunteers. Vendors can bring a team, a table, and a branded tent, and are responsible for their own travel and lodging. Sponsorships are offered at multiple tiers, including Bronze at 500 dollars, Silver at 1,000, Gold at 2,500, Scarab at 5,000, and Blue Nile at 10,000, with recognition in event promotions and other marketing, and higher tiers include corporate on-site wellness packages.
