"I mean we have people from out of state and all over coming here, just to all be together under this abundance, and that's the festival's theme, connection through abundance, and I truly believe that that has happened to me," Yoga Instructor Lisa Molendini told 28/22 News.
"I started thinking about my mom and my mom's mom and my family and how I wanted to stop the generational trauma, so I started doing yoga, I started reaching for that," Trauma-informed Buddha Yoga Instructor Susan Scarpiniti said.
The NEPA Yoga Festival is the largest one in the area, bringing together practitioners from across the region and beyond.
