Yoga & Wellness Festival to transform Lido di Fermo This Weekend
Lido di Fermo, Italy – A two-day yoga and wellness festival kicks off this weekend, promising to break down preconceptions about teh practice and offer something for everyone, from beginners to experienced yogis.The festival, organized by the association led by President Nadia Pilate, will take place on the beach and feature a diverse program of classes, workshops, and cultural experiences.
Pilate declares the event is designed to be “two days fully dedicated to yoga and well-being,” with four distinct areas. “Practice-Yoga” will host 16 teachers leading 16 different styles of yoga on the beach. Attendees can also explore “practical-me,” a conference and workshop area offering 18 interventions focused on energy, holistic subconscious practices, and guided meditation.
Organizers aim to establish the festival as a key event for yoga “professionals” – noting a larger community than many realize in the area – while simultaneously challenging the “stigma of yoga as a niche discipline, ‘from fricchettoni’,” according to Nadia Pilate. Teacher Lorella Isidori emphasized the variety of yoga styles available, stating organizers have “generally noticed a lot of diffidence towards this practice” and hope to encourage those hesitant to try it.
Highlights include a meditation for peace led by Swami Amadio Bianchi, president of the European yoga federation, on Saturday morning at 8:30 AM, a Saturday evening Kirtan musical performance featuring Indian Mantras, and “Mon Fest,” a vibrant celebration inspired by the Hindu festival of color and music.
Local officials have voiced their support. Commissioner Alessandro Ciarrocchi stated the organizers’ “passion and their desire to amaze us convinced us,” while Councilor Micol Lanzidei underscored the administration’s commitment to well-being and welcomed the festival as a way to “bring everyone closer to the practices of the mind and the oriental culture.”
