Between the 3rd and 5th of July the German capital is turned into a wonderful oasis of silence and peace. This year the 5th edition of the festival expects more than 5.000 visitors, beginners as well as ambitious professionals of this art of spiritual development. This year’s motto will be “Yoga - way to nature” which attracts 40 international experts from all parts of the world, like for example USA or India, who will offer you more than 55 impressive workshops about the different techniques of self-discovery in the festival area Kulturpark Kladow.

The festival organizers aim to present the science of yoga in all his philosophical, psychological, cultural, sporting and health aspects. They consider yoga as a sort of instrument to develop ones body, spirit and soul. Yoga is just for everyone! With practising yoga you improve your health and feeling of well-being. Besides, it guarantees you to be relaxed and to be in a good mood. In the last editions, this concept was very successful and especially nowadays yoga is the perfect way to escape from the problems of everyday life.

The festival programme stands out for the following events: the yoga session with Swami Yogananda, the most important yoga master from India, who is 99 years old but enjoys better health than today’s young people; the concert of Al Gromer Khan who will captivate you with spectacular sitar music; Jenny, Jason & Team from San Francisco will show you their ACRO-Yoga; the mantra-concert of Satyaa and Pari from Greece; the exposition of photography about India by Andre Wagner and lots more spectacular events.
