Northern Ontario’s First-Of-Its-Kind Wellness Event Is Coming

This September, Northern Ontario will experience a first-of-its-kind wellness event as the Align Yoga Festival arrives in Sault Ste. Marie at the historic Machine Shop on September 11–12, 2026.

This event will bring together hundreds of participants for an immersive weekend dedicated to health, connection, inspiration, and community.

Created by the team behind Align Yoga Method, Sarah Fratesi and Kyla Faganely, the two-day festival is designed for everyone—from seasoned yoga practitioners to complete beginners—offering more than 50 classes, workshops, and wellness experiences, including yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, Reiki, inspiring keynote speakers, live music, local food, artisan vendors, and interactive wellness experiences.

"The Align Yoga Festival was inspired by our belief that wellness has the power to bring people together and that Northern Ontario deserves an event like this. Whether you've been practicing yoga for years or are trying it for the first time, we want everyone to feel welcome. This weekend is about connection, inspiration, and building a stronger community”
