Four days of yoga, meditation, and chanting at the Acquario Romano — September 2026
In September 2026, Rome hosts the Jivamukti Tribe Gathering for the first time, the annual traveling festival of the international Jivamukti Yoga community. From September 24 to 27, the Capital becomes a meeting point for practitioners and teachers from all over the world, united by a practice of yoga as a celebration of life and an expression of love and devotion.
The heart of the event is the Acquario Romano, a historic 19th-century building in Piazza Manfredo Fanti, in the Esquilino district, now home to the Casa dell'Architettura. This is where asana classes, pranayama and meditation sessions, satsangs, and chanting moments take place. The opening concert is held at the Teatro Brancaccio on Via Merulana, just a short walk away. Both venues are located in Rome, in the Lazio region, in a central, well-connected area rich in history.
Founded in New York by Sharon Gannon and David Life, Jivamukti Yoga is a physically intense yet deeply spiritual style that integrates dynamic asanas, mantra chanting, meditation, the study of scriptures, and a strong ethical commitment to all living beings, including a vegan lifestyle. The Tribe Gathering is the moment when this global community meets in person to practice together.
The four days alternate between asana, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, satsang, and chanting, alongside vegan cuisine and social gatherings. It begins on Thursday, September 24, with the afternoon Opening Class, culminating in the evening with a concert by Deva Premal & Miten, renowned performers of mantra music and kirtan. Friday and Saturday feature lessons and workshops led by master teachers, while the closing ceremony takes place on Sunday, September 27, in the early afternoon.
The Roman stage will feature the founders and most authoritative teachers of the method: Sharon Gannon, Jules Febre, Yogeswari, Rima Rabbath, Olga Oskorbina, Anna Lunegova, Magali Lehners, Andrea Kwiatkowski, and numerous Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teachers, joined by special guests such as Joshua Greene and Jamie Logan.
More than just a festival, the Tribe Gathering is an immersive experience that combines physical practice, inner exploration, and community life. For Rome and the Lazio region, it represents an internationally acclaimed event that brings yoga and wellness enthusiasts from every corner of the globe to the Capital, fostering a dialogue between Indian spiritual tradition and the beauty of Roman heritage.
For the first time in its history, the Jivamukti Tribe Gathering chooses Rome as the venue for its annual gathering, from September 24 to 27, 2026. The headquarters is the Acquario Romano, in Piazza Manfredo Fanti in the Esquilino district, while the opening concert is held at the nearby Teatro Brancaccio.
Four days of collective practice bring the international community of the method together for asanas, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, satsang, and chanting, accompanied by vegan cuisine. Led by founders Sharon Gannon and Jules Febre along with numerous certified teachers.
The Acquario Romano is located at Piazza Manfredo Fanti 47, in the Esquilino district, a few minutes' walk from Roma Termini station, the city's main railway and bus hub. The nearest metro stop is Vittorio Emanuele (Line A), while Termini is served by both Lines A and B. The Teatro Brancaccio is at Via Merulana 244, within walking distance of the Acquario. Those arriving by plane can land at Rome Fiumicino or Ciampino airports, both connected to the city center by trains and buses.
