Frequently Asked Questions

YOGMAITRI is a premium three-day wellness festival bringing together yoga, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, conscious living, music, gourmet wellness dining, holistic experiences and sustainable lifestyle practices in one celebration.

The next edition runs the Second Weekend of October 2026 — 9–11 October 2026 — with celebrations across multiple cities of India as part of our nationwide tour. Gates open 8:00 am on Day 1 at every venue.

YOGMAITRI is a full three-day experience across Day 1 (Reconnect), Day 2 (Energize) and Day 3 (Transform), each built around a deliberate arc of movement, stillness and celebration.

We're built on the EEV Model — Entertainment, Experience and Value Addition — so the festival never tips too far into either deep inner work or pure celebration. Expect sunrise practice and firelit music in the same three days.

Five reward tracks are judged live on Day 3: the Yoga Maestro grand award, the Yog Ratna and Yoga Jyoti runner-up awards, the Soul Sync couple award and the Yoga Lens content award. Every pass holder is automatically eligible.

Over ₹12 lakhs across all reward tracks, headlined by a ₹1,00,000 cash Yoga Maestro award and a ₹1,00,000 Soul Sync Award, plus a ₹50,000 winning prize for the Yoga Lens Award.

The Yoga Lens Award celebrates the festival's best content creator — the most inspiring photos, reels and stories shared publicly with our event tag — and carries a ₹50,000 winning prize.

Sunrise vinyasa, Stress Management & Asana, Yin & Restorative and pool-based aqua yoga are all part of the programme, led by our twelve master instructors across every level.
