Since 2019, San Diego’s Best Festivals and Markets has become a beloved cornerstone of the region’s sustainable culture—cultivating community connection through food, creativity, and conscious living. These gatherings bring together hundreds of local farmers, chefs, artisans, and makers who share a vision for a healthier, more connected world. Each event is intentionally designed to support small businesses, celebrate local artistry, and inspire everyday sustainability. These markets are more than events—they are vibrant ecosystems of collaboration, where community thrives and the spirit of San Diego shines.

Modo Yoga San Diego

After years in a fast-paced corporate career filled with travel and stress, she discovered hot yoga in 2008—and it changed everything. Within weeks, she was sleeping better, feeling stronger, and reconnecting with herself. Inspired by the transformation, she completed her teacher training in 2009 and found her true calling in guiding others toward balance, confidence, and inner peace. Her classes combine heat, movement, and mindful breathwork to help students release tension, restore energy, and return to a grounded sense of self.
