Fuel and Flo Fest refuels locals

Eastern idahoans looking to rejuvenate got the chance to do so Saturday. The Fuel and Flo Fest took place in Idaho Falls.

The first of its kind event is an initiative to let people refuel and rejuvenate at a deep level. Organizers called it the ultimate wellness festival — yoga, Thai Chi, dance classes, meditation, nutrition — the event had many different aspects of holistic living. And the saying of fuel and flow should happen in that order.

“I think sometimes we do the opposite perhaps. We flow and we’re running here and there. And we’re very busy and we’re eager to help other people. And then we end up empty. And so the very name of the event indicates what it is — it’s to refuel and flow all at the same time,” said founder Nicole Packer.

Packer is hoping this festival will happen twice a year — once in fall and in spring.
