JOIN US ON FOR SOULFUL CONNECTION AND REJUVENATION

All the yoga classes and workshops. But also you'll get three vegetarian meals per day, drinking water, coffee/tea throughout the day.

We will insert one shuttle from the Airport, through Stonetown and to the venue and return. The timings will be confirmed at a later stage but are likely to be Thursday 12.30pm frrom the airport, 1pm from Stonetown returning Sunday between 1-3pm from the lodge (tbc).

We might add other things as we get closer, we can be cheeky like that ;-)

Ticket sales are open!!! You will be able to book and pay online (with Vasa, mastercard, Amex or Mpesa). Once you have filled in your registration and paid for the ticket, you are good to go!

Please note that you will need to show your paid ticket to Sunshine Marine if you wish to book a room there at the ZYF preferential rate.

Also note that tickets are non-refundable, however you can transfer the ticket to someone else in the event you are unable to join us.

Please feel free to reach out to us for any other questions you might have.

No worries, we are international friendly - the online payment system allows you to pay with a credit card. Please do reach out to us, if you are having any difficulties.

Please bring: your own yoga mat, yoga towel or strap (optional), comfortable and breathable clothing, a reusable water bottle, clothing for dinner if you prefer a change, a swimsuit and any medication you might rely on. We also suggest you bring your (travel) insurance documents and 24/7 emergency number.

We also suggest to bring books to read in your free-time and a notebook to capture your inner progress. If you wish you're more than welcome to bring some instruments, cards or games to socialize with the other people.

Please note that we have some amazing vendors, and if you want to make sure they bring what you would like to buy from them, please check out their offerings and reach out to them in advance.

Not at all! You are free to attend or not attend anything you would like. We offer the sessions, you decide what to join :)

We do encourage that you join us for at least one of the meals a day, to build and share the sense of community.

Please don't worry, we are open to every-body, whatever your age, ability or knowledge about the practice. There might be some advanced classes, but these will be clearly marked as such, to avoid any confusion. If you are unsure, please reach out to us, we can help you decide.

We will also provide non-yoga classes to keep it fun.

No worries, we are excited to (hopefully) introduce you to new practices. Every teacher is highly qualified and skilled, and every class caters for every level (unless otherwise noted). That way, we hope to provide something for everyone.

You can also read more about each of the styles of yoga and non-yoga classes and the workshops under the ZYF26 menu, so you can decide whether you might be feeling adventurous and try something new.  

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us, should you still have questions.

While we welcome everyone, please note that the festival has limited space and is generally not kid-friendly unless your child already practices yoga. In such cases, we may make an exception. Please contact the organisers on info@zanzibaryogafestival.com to check on kids' tickets.

With regards to partners, we believe couples who yoga together stay together ;-) However, due to limited rooms and the desire to create a space conducive with personal reflection, relaxation and growth, we ask that everyone staying in the venue hotel, Sunshine Marine, has a ticket - tickets also cover the daily meals. A ticket is also a requirement from the hotel to be eligible to the discounted rate. We suggest your partner either buys a ticket and joins some sessions or that you stay with your partner in a sister hotel, which is very close by, and the the same high standard.

Please note that all meals included in the ticket are only served at Marine, the venue, and only available for ticket holders.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Zanzibar is a largely muslim and conservative place, so please be considerate when moving around the island. Within the venue, we recommend you wear something you are comfortable in. Other than that, we have no dress code.

Generally not. You are free to choose, but here may be a capacity cap on classes so make sure you arrive on time to the ones you want to attend. Classes will start and finish on time.

There might be workshops where you will have to sign up for but this will be clearly indicated.

There will be 24/7 hotel staff available, who can help call emergency services where required.

Please have your own (and any travel partners') insurance number at hand.

The organisers will also be available 24/7, see numbers below:

We recommend you stay in Sunshine Marine Zanzibar (the venue) as we will spend our days there for the festival and all included meals are taken there (and cannot be transferred).
