Yoga, Wellness & Fun
Festival activities will be centered in the charming village of Shela, but will reach Manda Island and Lamu Old Town—the whole area will be abuzz with yoga activities. A variety of yoga classes and meditations—for all levels—will be offered over five days at 12 unique venues and studios. From early-bird yoga on the beach to meditation under the moon, the festival offers something for everyone, from experienced practitioners and newbies to curious souls and everyone in between.
