7 Best Yoga Festivals in Europe to Check Out in 2024
Starting to ponder your spring and summer plans for the year? Festival season may already be on your radar. But, if (like me ;) ) you didn’t quite manage to snag those Glasto tickets this year, perhaps the universe is telling you to go in a different direction.
Maybe you need something that’s going to nourish you and restore your energy. Maybe you’re looking to reconnect with yourself but also find a community. Maybe you feel the calling to deepen your yoga practice. Yoga retreats and workshops are great options for this. But, what about something bigger? A bigger community, an exciting destination, a feast for your senses. Say hello to yoga festivals!
Increasingly popular and growing ever larger, yoga festivals are a fun and exciting way to get to know new yoga & wellness teachers, try new yoga styles, meet other yogis and make lasting connections. There’s such a variety out there from the super chill to yoga and DJ sets, so you’re sure to find one that’s right for you. Below are a list (in no particular order) of just a few epic yoga festivals coming up in Europe in 2024. Enjoy! :)
