The European Yoga Festival 2026

Venue: Domaine de Chalès

Location: Nouan-le-Fuzelier, France

Dates: August 1–9, 2026

Festival Format: Nine-day residential Kundalini Yoga festival with daily practices, community programming, music, camping, and on-site accommodation options.

The European Yoga Festival is a nine-day Kundalini Yoga gathering at Domaine de Chalès in France’s Loire Valley. Its program combines daily kriyas, meditation, breathwork, White Tantric Yoga®, music, Gurdwara practices, nature activities, children’s programming, a Bazaar, camping, and an organic vegetarian Ayurvedic diet.

What You Will Experience at The European Yoga Festival

The festival’s daily rhythm centers on Kundalini Yoga practices, including kriyas, meditation, and breathwork led by Kundalini Yoga teachers. White Tantric Yoga® offers a group meditation practice, while the Gurdwara provides space for prayer, kirtan, and quiet reflection. Open-air yoga and peaceful walks extend the program into the surrounding natural setting.

Beyond scheduled practice, the gathering includes sacred chant concerts, Naad Yoga performances, evening live-music gatherings, workshops, seva, and shared community activities. Families can make use of a children’s space with yoga, creativity, movement, play, and community.

Is The European Yoga Festival a Good Fit?

This festival is likely to suit people specifically interested in Kundalini Yoga, meditation, breathwork, White Tantric Yoga®, devotional or contemplative practices, music, and holistic living. Its nine-day residential format may appeal to attendees who want daily practice alongside nature, community activities, and evening programming rather than a short single-day event. Families may value the dedicated children’s space, and people seeking a camping-based experience have that option included with the festival ticket. The program also includes workshops, seva, and a yoga research symposium, though detailed session information is limited.
