Nordic Fest is upon us! This year’s theme, Commemorating Crossings, is a powerful reminder that most of our ancestors didn’t begin here—they crossed oceans, borders, and boundaries to build lives in a new place. Some arrived by choice, others by force, but all of it is part of the complicated, often painful, and deeply human story of migration.

Movement—through place, through time, and through breath and body—is central to that story. In many ways, this what we’re practicing at DRiFT: a movement practice of coming home to ourselves while honoring the journeys that shaped us. It’s a celebration of connection, courage, and change—values we hold close at DRiFT, especially as policies across our country continue to dehumanize those who are still crossing in search of safety, belonging, and freedom.

Our classes are still on throughout the weekend, but with construction and Nordic Fest street closures, your usual route may be more chaotic. We recommend setting your alarm a few minutes early, giving yourself some extra time, or walking, biking, or carpooling if you’re able.

We invite you to take a moment this weekend to reflect on the crossings that brought your people here, and who is still fighting for that chance today.

🇳🇴 Nordic Fest Class schedule:
🗓️ Friday, July 25th
5:30a Sculpt CircHiit 50
8:30a Mindful Vinyasa
10:00a Wiggles & Giggles in Mary Christopher Park - FREE thanks to Decorah Public Library

🗓️ Saturday, July 26th

✨Meet the humans behind DRiFT’S 200hr Yoga Study ✨

DRiFT’S upcoming 200-hour Yoga Study is guided by a powerful lineup of instructors who reflect DRiFT’s intention: to offer a study shaped by a wide range of voices, lived experiences, and deep-rooted knowledge in yoga and mindfulness.

These teachers will lead you through:
📖 An introduction to yoga’s history, ethical theories. sacred texts, and the eight-limb path
🌍 Yoga’s evolution from its roots to modern asana and its journey to the West
🧘 Yoga’s relationship to compassion, equity, and honesty
🛠️ Tools to guide with authenticity, adaptability, and a commitment to collective well-being
🗣️ Communication skills that are clear, concise, and supportive to carry the practice off the mat
🪞 Personal growth through self-study (Svadhyaya)

This is more than a training — it’s a program for transformation, inquiry, and connection; whether you want to create a more personalized yoga practice or share the practice out into the world.

COMING 2025-2026: DRIFT YOGA STUDY: A 200hr Program for Everyday Yoga Integration + Teacher Application!
•
At DRiFT: Strength & Yoga Center, our yoga study and certification program is built on the belief that yoga is both a personal practice and a tool for collective care. With a focus on ethical movement, mindful integration, and inclusive teaching, we guide students in weaving yoga into their daily lives while equipping future teachers with the skills to lead with authenticity and respect for the practice’s roots. Whether for self-discovery or professional growth, our training fosters strength in connection—on and off the mat.
DRiFT’s Yoga Study program isn’t designed to teach trainees everything about yoga—no single training can. Instead, it offers a strong foundation and a thoughtful launching point, one that may leave graduates with more questions than answers, as yoga reveals itself not as a destination, but as a lifelong path of inquiry, practice, and growth.
•
This 200-hour yoga training is designed for both everyday integration and teacher application, emphasizing yoga as a living practice rather than just a performance on the mat. Rooted in ethical awareness, accessibility, and embodied strength, our training invites students to explore yoga beyond postures—cultivating mindfulness, resilience, and connection in daily life.
•
DRiFT’s Yoga Study program is guided by a diverse team of faculty and staff, each bringing a rich blend of lived experiences, education backgrounds, and specialized training to deepen and diversify the learning experience. Over a dozen local, regional and nationally recognized teachers have committed our Yoga Study; including facilitators. , .n.king , , , , and MORE!
