The benefits of yoga are well known—multiple and deeply positive for both our physical and mental health. A yoga festival is always a great opportunity, not only for those already familiar with the practice but also for those looking to explore this profound discipline and philosophy.

The aim of the second Andros Yoga Festival was to connect participants with yoga, nature, local culture, and the island’s traditions.

The 2nd Andros Yoga Festival took place from May 23 to 25, 2025. It began on Friday morning, May 23, with a silent hike along part of Route 1, starting at the Livada farm. The circular route passed through Messaria, Menites, Lamyra, and returned to Messaria.

On Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25, teachers and speakers shared yoga practices, wellness techniques, and fitness sessions with the festival participants. We, the volunteers of Andros Routes, were also there with a stand and our products to support the maintenance and promotion of the island’s hiking paths.

Congratulations to the members of Oktana Yoga Shala for their beautiful and inspiring initiative.
