Yogi Bhajan, Founder of the 3HO (Happy, Healthy, Holy) Foundation, organised the Festival and Bibiji Inderjit Kaur, wife of Yogi Bhajan and Bhair Sahiba of Sikh Dharma International is teaching among other things "family unity and the fulfilment in conscious relationships," at the camp.

Each year, the festival highlights a specific aspect of Yoga. This year's theme is "Peace for All."

Yogi Bhajan says, "Let there be peace... Peace of mind and peace with humankind. People from over twenty countries in all five continents, have come to experience some of the key aspects of the inaugural theme: The spirit of India. Not only are there classes in Kundalini Yoga and the yogic sciences, but there is also an Indian-style bazaar with many items and clothing directly from India."

According to Yogi Bhajan, the overall experience at the Yoga Festival is designed to give participants a sense of healing, inner peace and relaxation.
