Stay Barefoot & Free: Red Poppy VIP Experience

August 7-9, 2026 
Proud Lake State Recreation Area Commerce, Michigan

Red Poppy is our VIP stay experience—aka the easiest, most supported way to do the festival weekend. When you choose Red Poppy, you’ll get your weekend pass along with our coveted VIP parking, a VIP goodie bag, and NEW this year: a Friday early-evening VIP-only welcome gathering with drinks + apps. You’ll also be taken care of with meals included: breakfast on Friday, plus dinner on both Friday and Saturday—so you can spend less time planning and more time landing into the weekend. 

Red Poppy features an indoor pool + hot tub and sits on a peaceful lake, about 15 minutes from the festival venue. Check-in on Friday can be as early as 11:00am, and Sunday check-out is at 10:00am—making it the perfect home base for your Barefoot & Free weekend.

Hear what some of our past attendees have to say about the Barefoot & Free Yoga Festival:

"First time and it blew my mind! What a beautiful vibe, and such a huge array of classes, workshops, and special events. I was shocked at the price, they could ask twice as much and it would be well worth the money. I left feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take my life on in a bigger way. I'll see you next year!"

Lynne Baum, Attendee

"The Barefoot & Free Yoga Festival last year was so magical. I went solo, which I highly recommend. I got to wander through the woods, swim under the sun, and truly just revel in the beauty of community."

Barefoot & Free Attendee

"What a magical weekend. I always struggle to find the words that perfectly encompass the Barefoot & Free Yoga Festival experience. Connection. Nature. Freeing. Expressive. Shedding. Transformative. Gratitude. So much gratitude. To share this beautiful experience with some of my closest humans; from my mom, my Key West yogis, my festival friends I only see once a year and the new friends I met this year!"

Katherine Pareizs, Presenter

"New tradition to meet at the Barefoot & Free Yoga Festival every year. I went last year for the first time and felt at home. The speakers, the yogis, healers, the whole energy of the place is electric. There is something special about being surrounded by so many incredible humans who are working to raise their vibrations. "
