World Yoga Festival

About World Yoga Festival

World Yoga Festival 2027 returns to The Henley Showground, Marlow as a four-day open-air yoga and wellness festival shaped around practice, study and music concerts.

Its roots go back to 2016, when the Arsha Kula Foundation launched the first edition. The official site bills 2027 as the festival's 10th anniversary edition.

Scale is part of the story. A founder blog post recorded over 1,800 attendees from more than 25 countries at the 2023 event, and said the festival became self-sustaining in 2022.

Who Is It For?

The audience runs from beginners to experienced yoga and wellness regulars. No prior yoga experience is required.

Families are covered through child-friendly ticketing, a family area and a children's programme. The site runs alcohol-free and drug-free, with vegetarian food as the stated model.

Under-16s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. Ticketing separates adults from children aged 6-15, while children aged 5 and under have a free child ticket.
