Participant Stories

  • “I came expecting yoga classes, but I found so much more. The workshops were practical, the atmosphere was welcoming, and celebrating Holi in Vrindavan with people from different countries was an unforgettable experience.”
    Divya Sharma
  • “I had visited India before, but Vrindavan during the festival was a completely different experience. I loved that the event combined practical yoga sessions with local culture instead of keeping everything inside a studio. Sharing chai with participants after workshops and celebrating Holi together created memories I’ll never forget.”
    Daniel F.
  • “The combination of yoga, Indian culture, music, and community made this festival completely different from any retreat I’ve attended before. I returned home inspired not only in my practice, but in my everyday life.”
    Francesca R.
  • “The festival had the perfect balance of yoga, culture, and meaningful conversations. It reminded me that yoga is something to live, not just practise.”
    Sourav Saini
  • “What impressed me most was the openness of the teachers and the opportunity to learn through practice rather than simply listening to lectures. I can’t wait to return.”
    Prashant Singh

Voices from Our Teachers

  • “The International Yoga Festival Vrindavan was such an honour to attend for me as a teacher from the UK who loves India, Krishna and all types of Yoga.
    I believe in Yoga as Unity and a brilliant health map for all.
    Teachers at the festival were so wonderful, as all I could see during and got feedback that everyone enjoyed the class and found it very relaxing and uplifting at the same time, rooting and rising in gratitude for the day and the weekend together.
    It was so wonderful meeting and being taught by all the other teachers, students, organisers, volunteers, and the food was delicious.
    I hope to be back again next year and that the festival runs for many years ahead.”
