Nama-stay a while and unwind at San Jose’s annual Yoga, Culture and Compassion Festival. The day’s activities are aimed at helping people achieve physical wellness and peace of mind through a series of classes. Yoga may be in the name of the festival, but the selection of classes includes varying forms of movement—such as Capoeira and QiGong—as well as an assortment of sound healing workshops. Admission is free, and those who wish to participate will pay per class or purchase a $30 all-access-pass. Proceeds and donations will go toward providing resources to the city’s homeless population.

Everyone knows that a beer or two can help loosen you up. Throw yoga into the mix and even the stiffest working stiffs are liable to walk away more pliable. Billed as an “End of Summer Block Party,” this event includes yoga, beer and music. As DJ Yogic Flow spins tunes designed to keep the people moving, attendees are invited to participate in an all-levels yoga group led by two instructors. There will be yoga mats available for rent and food trucks on site for everyone to enjoy after the session. You must be 21 or older to attend.
