Yoga Spring Festival in Bad Gastein: Breathe the Mountains
A Diverse Yoga Festival for All Levels
The Yoga Spring in Bad Gastein invites participants from May 23 to June 1, 2025, to harmonize body and mind amidst the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Gastein Valley. Under the motto “Breathe the Mountains,” attendees can expect a diverse program suitable for both yoga beginners and advanced practitioners.
During the ten-day event, guests can choose from around 300 yoga sessions led by approximately 30 qualified yoga instructors from Austria and Germany. The variety of yoga styles ensures that everyone can find the right practice for them. Sessions vary in duration, with both 60- and 90-minute options available. Additionally, classes are also offered in English, making it an inclusive experience for international visitors.
Unique Yoga Locations in Nature and Partner Hotels
The yoga classes take place at various locations throughout the Gastein Valley, including 15 partner hotels and selected power spots in the open nature of the three towns: Bad Gastein, Bad Hofgastein, and Dorfgastein. This diverse range of locations allows participants to practice yoga in different environments and recharge their energy.
Flexible Booking Options for Yoga Enthusiasts
For those who wish to tailor their yoga retreat, there is the option to stay in one of the Yoga Premium Partner accommodations and book their preferred yoga sessions flexibly through the schedule. When booking a yoga package directly with the hotel or via gastein.com, Yoga Premium Partner accommodations also offer in-house yoga sessions that can be attended free of charge. It is recommended to mention the keyword “Yoga Spring” when booking to ensure an optimal experience tailored to guests’ needs.
BAREFOOT also lists two hotels that serve as Premium Partners of the event: Impuls Hotel Tirol and BLÜ. These accommodations offer the perfect combination of comfort, wellness, and yoga facilities. During the festival, you will be offered great in-house sessions in both hotels. This makes the two venues the ideal home base for the event.
