Do’s and Don’ts for the European Yoga Festival

Group gatherings always necessitate the establishment of rules. We kindly request your conscious adherence to these guidelines to ensure a harmonious environment for all. The following Do’s and Don’ts have been refined over the years based on our collective experiences. Our deepest aspiration is for everyone to embody the consciousness expected of individuals identifying as yogis.

In summary:

Do’s:

1. Respectful Conduct: Embody the principles of yoga through respectful and compassionate behavior towards others.
2. Drug and Alcohol-Free Zone: Strictly NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL ALLOWED. Immediate expulsion will be enforced upon any violation.

4. Hygiene Awareness: Clean your dishes in designated areas and avoid washing them at water stations.
5. Child-Friendly Environment: Given that this is a scout camp with children present, kindly respect our hosts and refrain from public nudity.
6. Nature Conservation: While we appreciate your love for nature, please utilize the provided toilets rather than the surrounding forest.
7. Minimal Valuables: Avoid bringing unnecessary valuables to the camp.
8. Wasp Awareness: Be mindful of wasps on the premises; help maintain a clean camp by disposing of food waste properly to deter them. If you come across any nests, kindly address them before the wasps become a nuisance.
