Sesto Fiorentino Yoga Festival
Two days of yoga, meditation, and wellness in the lush Parco dell'Oliveta
About Yoga Festival
A wellness festival at the gates of Florence
The Sesto Fiorentino Yoga Festival is a dedicated wellness and personal growth event that brings the Parco dell'Oliveta—the green lung of Sesto Fiorentino, in the province of Florence—to life for an entire weekend. The festival offers two days of practice, meetings, and shared moments designed to help you reconnect with yourself and nature in a relaxed, accessible setting.
Yoga, meditation, and holistic disciplines
The heart of the festival is a rich program of yoga classes in various styles: Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Prenatal, and even Laughter Yoga. Beyond the mat, the park comes alive with activities ranging from guided meditation and pranayama to Qi Gong, Tai Chi, family constellations, Reiki, and channeling. Don't miss the most evocative moments, such as sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls and gongs, and Kirtan, the devotional chanting that closes each day with music.
Talks, treatments, and community
In addition to practical sessions, the festival hosts talks, book presentations, readings, and a series of holistic treatment stands where you can experience massages, relaxation techniques, and wellness disciplines. Activities take place across several areas of the park—the Yoga Area and the Sessions Area—with a packed schedule that allows you to alternate between practice, listening, and discovery throughout the day.
A free event immersed in the park
Admission to the festival is free, and no booking is required: simply bring your mat and a desire to participate. The setting of Parco dell'Oliveta, with its lawns and olive trees, offers an ideal backdrop for outdoor yoga just a few kilometers from the center of Florence. The event is organized with the support of the association that manages the park and has become a key reference point for the Tuscan wellness community.
Yoga Festival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition offered a rich schedule across two areas of the park, with classes and meetings every half hour from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Between Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, active meditations, Qi Gong, Reiki, talks, and book presentations, the festival provided a complete wellness experience, closing both days with sound and devotional moments featuring singing bowls, gongs, and Kirtan.
