Two days of yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness at the Kurhaus in Merano
Yoga Meeting Merano is one of the premier events in the Alpine region dedicated to yoga and holistic disciplines. The festival takes place every spring in the historic halls of the Kurhaus of Merano, an elegant Art Nouveau building overlooking the Passeggiata Lungo Passirio in the center of Merano, in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige). For two intense days, the spa town becomes a meeting point for practitioners, teachers, wellness professionals, and curious visitors from all over Italy and German-speaking countries.
The heart of the event is a rich calendar of activities alternating between practice and reflection. The public can participate in masterclasses and workshops with national and international teachers, open classes suitable for beginners, and lectures on topics related to physical and mental health, meditation, and personal growth.
Alongside the practice rooms, the Kurhaus hosts a large exhibition area featuring schools, yoga and holistic centers, crafts, and wellness-related products. There is also a focus on food, with a vegetarian and vegan gastronomic selection. Admission to the exhibition areas, lectures, meetings, and performances is free, while some masterclasses and in-depth workshops may require a participation fee.
The event is promoted by the Artè Cultural Association, in collaboration with the Merano Tourist Board and with the support of the Municipality of Merano. The direction is entrusted to Johnny Dell'Orto, while the content curation is by Emina Cevro Vukovic. Over the years, the Yoga Meeting has established itself as a benchmark in the South Tyrolean holistic scene, successfully combining wellness, culture, and the unique setting of the Merano spa town.
