The New Living Expo is in it’s 18th year! This year, the dates are April 26 - 28, and we could not be more excited about attending. We had the opportunity to ask them a few questions about this inspiring event.

How has this vision/mission for the Expo changed over the years?

The mission of New Living Expo has remained virtually unchanged. It is the diverse populations of seekers becoming more pro-active and self-determined to improve their quality of life without the influence of the old-school 'Madison Avenue' approach to marketing health. As the so-called New Age movement evolved, perhaps going a bit underground, or at minimum, less mainstream for a few years, the Expo has continued. The re-emergence of the New Age as a relevant and vibrant concept has been embraced by millennials, boomers and everyone in-between. New Living Expo has remained a learning portal, serving those curious about cutting-edge scientific developments in living and aging mindfully. Modern 'New Living' is hipper and more important than ever. That's why world-renowned thought leaders are drawn to New Living Expo.

You have chosen an amazing line up of presenters! Some of my favorite thought leaders and teachers will be speaking. How do you go about choosing who you will have speak at the Expo?

We know our core audience wants truth-tellers. An excellent example is Caroline Myss, who will not BS you while she explains what you need to do to self evolve. James Van Praagh's light-hearted sense of humor while speaking of departed loved ones will capture your imagination. Whether you're politically minded or not, Marianne Williamson's call for an 'evolution' of politics is timely.

Can you tell us about the Yoga classes that will be happening during the Expo?

They are drop-in classes taught by highly qualified teachers who will be leading a variety of styles encompassing asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, kriya, chanting and nada-yoga, along with Transcendental Meditation® and other mental practices. We also have Laughter Yoga! We will also have healing qigong and Alchemy Crystal healing sound with violin and flute.

Who should attend the New Living Expo?

Everyone! Live events are proven to be life-changing. Content and programming coming from a device, no matter the quality, doesn't provide the same positive effect as a live experience. Flipping through our Expo program guide is the perfect way to plan your visit. Call (415-382-8300) or email (info@newlivingexpo.com) and we will mail you a copy! You can also view the full schedule here.

You can come to network or come to nurture your inner guru. Each of the three days has unique presenters, diverse topics andnumerous opportunities to gain useful knowledge on every imaginable approach to living mindfully.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the SF Yoga community about the Expo?
