Join us for yoga, 1:15 – 2:00 PM, before the music starts!

Sunny Trails Yoga establishes space and opportunities at live events for people to dedicate time to their wellness practices. During six years of creating and directing the “Work It Out” umbrella program at Bonnaroo which has featured YogaRoo, The RooRun, Dancercise and Ayurvedic sessions, Sunny Trails has helped turn concerts into opportunities to explore wellness with a backdrop of music and friends.

“We as human beings are driven to follow a certain cadence to maintain our own sense of well being. We bend so we don’t break. The purpose of Sunny Trails wellness programs are to show people how good they can feel when they honor their need for self care alone or as part of a community.” –Laura Carter, Founder of Sunny Trails, and producer of Rootfire Yoga.

Important information:

-BYO yoga mat (it’s fun on the grass too, so if you don’t have a mat don’t worry!)
-Make sure you eat breakfast and drink plenty of water beforehand
-You must have a ticket to the festival to participate

Nothing is cooler than self-powering your own musical entertainment. That is exactly what the crew over at Rock The Bike brings to reality for concert goers, music lovers, and anyone else looking to power up a PA using human energy and the science of cycle generated power.

Formed in Berkeley, CA in 2005, Rock The Bike is the brainchild of Paul Freedman, a.k.a. Fossil Fool. Collaboration and community are underlying values at RTB, and their connection to the extended network of musicians in the Bay Area has helped make pedal powered music available to performers looking for the greenest ways to present their music to new audiences. Rootfire is pleased to announce that artist Justin Ancheta & Soul Graffiti will be performing pedal powered sets between acts at Rootfire In The Emerald City, Saturday, July 29th in Seattle.  

Attending the fest? We’ll be looking for pedalers!

Ancheta has been making waves internationally with his eclectic brand of reggae influenced funk and jazz. Touring the United States and Europe via bicycle and train, Ancheta backs up the conscious message of his music by taking direct action to improve the global music community. The Justin Ancheta Band has played across the world from Oahu’s Hawaii Spirit Festival, to MannaFest in Grass Valley, to Barcelona’s debut Bicycle Music Festival, performing with The WailersJoan BaezCreedence Clearwater Survival, and Charles Neville

Ancheta will be performing through the patented “One Bike-One Speaker” system, but Pedal Power is capable of so much more. Check out their Fender BlenderRecharge StationsLEDgehammerEl Arbol: The Bike Tree….there’s even a fully pedal powered stage.  It’s cooler than words can do justice and we can’t wait to give you a taste of things on July 29.

See you in The Emerald City!
