Frequently asked questions

Does the festival take place even in case of bad weather?

Yes, the festival will take place even in case of bad weather. Since the area is covered by tree tents, the event can still be held outdoors even if there will be small rain. In case of adverse weather conditions, the festival venue will be moved to the Centro La Torre in Losone.

If the event is moved, the new location will be announced at least 24 hours before the start of the festival on the website and on Instagram.

Is it possible to buy tickets on-site?

Yes, it is possible to buy a ticket on-site if there are still available ones (payment can be made in cash or via TWINT). The number of tickets per day is limited.

Can I find food and drinks at the festival?

Yes, the Govinda restaurant from Locarno will be serving delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes inspired by Indian flavors. There will also be a stand offering masala chai and healthy snacks such as energy balls and banana bread. On site, you’ll find the RIVER Merisg bar where you can purchase snacks and drinks. If you prefer, you’re welcome to bring your own picnic.

I am a beginner and would like to participate. Do I need prior experience in yoga practice?

You don't necessarily need prior experience. In fact, the festival is a great opportunity to explore yoga, discover different teachers, practices, and styles.

The festival is designed for everyone, regardless of their level of experience. The instructors are experienced and will guide you even if you have no prior practice.

And there won’t be only yoga: you’ll also find concerts, sound baths, a local market, a sauna, and of course the beautiful nature surrounding us.

What should I bring with me?

We recommend bringing your yoga mat, water bottle, reusable cup, and a blanket or large scarf. Since the festival takes place outdoors, choose comfortable, layered clothing, and bring sunglasses and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.

If the weather is warm enough, you can enjoy a swim in the river near the festival. So, don’t forget your swimsuit and towel for a refreshing break between yoga sessions.

Also for the sauna experience it is recommended to bring a swimming suit and a towel.

Can I rent yoga mats or other accessories directly on-site?

No, on-site yoga mats or other accessories are not available for rent. However at the small market there will be a stand from Yoga Tree with yoga equipment of eccellent quality.

Can I join the workshops with my ticket, or do I need to buy an additional ticket?
