About

The International Yoga Festival Vrindavan is more than an event — it’s a celebration of life, unity, and inner peace.

In the holy city of Vrindavan, where devotion flows like the Yamuna, yogis, spiritual seekers, wellness experts, and cultural artists from around the world will come together to breathe, learn, and rejoice. It is a moment to celebrate unity, tradition, and transformation. Held during the vibrant festival of Holi, this event blends the timeless wisdom of Yoga with the colorful joy of Indian devotion.

Rooted in ancient practice, the festival offers a powerful space for learning, connection, healing, and inner awakening—through Yoga, Meditation, Music, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Satsang, and Seva.

“Here, yoga meets devotion,
and the world meets the divine.”

A Celebration of Yoga, Culture & Consciousness

Set in the sacred town of Vrindavan, where devotion lives in every breath and the sound of kirtan fills the air, the International Yoga Festival Vrindavan invites people from all over the world to come together in celebration of authentic yoga, ancient wisdom, and human unity.

Timed with the vibrant festival of Holi, this unique gathering blends traditional yogic practices with spiritual music, cultural exchange, and satsang—offering a transformative experience unlike any other.

Why Vrindavan?

Vrindavan is not just a destination—it’s a vibration. As the divine playground of Lord Krishna, this holy town has inspired bhakti (devotion) for millennia. To practice yoga here is to connect with something timeless, pure, and profoundly transformative.

“In Vrindavan, yoga becomes prayer, and every breath a return to the heart.”
