As a practitioner, I couldn’t miss the first edition of the Yoga Festival in France, which will take place in Paris from October 19th to 21st, 2012 at the Centquatre (Paris, 19th arrondissement), a place I am particularly fond of.
After New York, Toronto, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, and many other major cities around the world, it is now Paris’s turn to host the largest event dedicated to yoga.
Yoga Festival Paris aims to introduce the public to as many forms as possible that yoga practices take today: from great authentic traditions to acroyoga, from individual practice to spectacular performances, from meditation to health, and from consciousness to inner ecology.
For the first time, more than thirty Yoga schools will be gathered in one place so that everyone can discover the existing different yoga practices and associated disciplines, thus finding the Yoga that suits them or trying out new practices. Postures, breathing, and relaxation—the basics of yoga—help everyone find their balance and well-being, to relax and tone up.
While yoga is originally a series of postures that strengthen the body to allow the contemplative to remain still for hours and be in good health, the different schools and forms of practice offered by yoga provide answers adapted to the modern lifestyle, with some forms focusing more on physical benefits, and others more focused on relaxation…
On the program: yoga sessions at all hours, films, music, and about twenty conferences with speakers from all over the world and from very different backgrounds (India, Bali, Canada, Australia, Italy…) will take place continuously throughout the three days.
