2. How to the tickets work? Do I have to register for classes? What does the ticket get me?
You can buy a single day pass OR a ALL weekend pass.
FREE for kids under 14 years who attend with an adult.
You can attend as many or as little classes as you’d like.
The classes operate on a first in first served basis.
Incase your first choice of class is full, we’ve programmed alternative classes starting 15 minutes after others. In many cases the class is repeated at another time with the same teacher or a different one.
You don’t need to register for classes EXCEPT for these 3:
1) Deb Karl and Rob Moore’s Soundbath & Meditation (because it’s on Opening Night and there are limited spaces)
2) SUP – because it’s offsite at Mount Hot Pools 9 Adams Ave Mt Maunganui
3) Aerial Yoga – because it’s offsite at Float Fitness 249 Maunganui Rd
REGISTER: littleyogafestival@gmail.com
Each Registration requires:
your order (ticket) number
full name
phone number.
name time, date of class.
We need you to BUY your ticket before you register.
We can’t ‘hold’ places for the classes which require registrations without all of the above information for each ‘registered’ space (out of fairness to others, and streamlining our processes).
I.e. One person with a ticket can’t ‘hold’ spaces for their friends who haven’t booked their tickets.
Thanks for your help to make our festival run smoothly.
We will email your confirmation within 24 hours of your request to register.
NOTE: You need to come to the festival at 13 May Street to collect your wristband before going to SUP or Aerial Yoga, as Mount Hot Pools and Float Fitness won’t have your ticketing information or wristbands.
3. I’m don’t have spare cash but i have spare time?
Sweet as, come and join our volunteer team, we have a great time together. Work or give a bit, then be a festival-goer or receive a bit. On the Wanderlust 108 Auckland 5 km run we overheard runners saying “Yeah, I wish I was volunteering, it brings more purpose to the event.” In the ‘How of Happiness’ Sonya Lyubomirsky says this in her chapter entitled “Investing in Social Connections” – ‘the milk of human kindness is …happiness.’ Come be happy with us.
4. Can children come to the festival and how much is a kids’ ticket?
Yes and all kids under 14 years attending with adults are FREE and are welcome at little YOGA festival 2017. Kids 14 years and over need to get a regular ticket. There will be workshops and spaces specifically designed for younger people. If your younger person is coming into a workshop or talk with you be mindful of the environment. If/when your younger person needs to make noise or move around please leave quietly – out of kindness to the participants, teacher and learning.
5. Can I leave the festival and come back?
Yes once you have your wristband, you can come and go as you please. Meander along the beach. Go buy something delightful from Paper Plane. Go feed and pop baby to sleep. Hakuna Matata. NB: You need to come to the festival information zone to scan your electronic ticket, at which point you’ll get a wrist band. Before going to SUP (at Mount Hot Pools) and Float Fitness for Aerial Yoga you need to come get your wristband.
