About IYOGA Fest
About the Iyengar Yoga Festival
The Iyengar Yoga Festival (formerly Yoga Camp) was founded by senior Iyengar Yoga teacher Rachel Lovegrove in response to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The vision was to create a space where Iyengar Yoga students could reconnect, practice deeply, and build a sense of community.
The event has grown over the years, with guest teachers like Hannah Lovegrove, Edgar Stringer, and Lydia Holmes. In 2025, we’re thrilled to expand to a larger venue at YMCA Fairthorne Manor Park, offering more space and exciting new activities.
What to Expect:
Daily yoga practice led by renowned teachers, suitable for all levels
Philosophy and pranayama sessions to deepen your understanding
Entertainment: Live music, guided walks, and opportunities for river sports
Relaxation: Onsite massage and reflexology treatments
Fairthorne Manor Park provides 95 acres of private grounds, access to the River Hamble, and modern accommodations. Whether you choose to camp, glamp, or stay in a cozy indoor room, you’ll find a perfect setting to unwind and connect.
