Avenarius Park in Kampen's Wattweg // in bad weather at Kaamp-Hüs
The first two YO DAY events – a festival day in the park (August 2025) and the STORMY YO DAY in winter (January 2026) – are unforgettable for teachers and participants alike. On Saturday, August 29, 2026, the festival for movement, encounters, yoga, dance, meditation, and massage enters its next phase, with check-in starting at 9:00 a.m.
Where does YO DAY take place?
In Avenarius Park on Kampener Wattweg. If the weather gods don't cooperate, the entire festival program will take place in Kaamp Hüs.
From when to when?
Check-in starts at 9:00 AM. The very latest closing time is after the Holi Dance at 9:00 PM. Then the park will be quiet again.
Who is the YO DAY intended for?
Quite explicitly: for young and old, for beginners and professionals, for locals and visitors, for men and women, and everyone in between. Because: "EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED" And the selection of classes, workshops, and lectures is huge. Those who prefer a more relaxed pace can simply stay in their comfort zone. And for those who can't get enough exercise, there's something for everyone.
Everyone comes as they are, tries things out. Open yourself up to new experiences without reservation, delve deeper into the familiar, feel joy, and just do it! A day that moves body and heart! YO DAY is therefore definitely also for people who have "always wanted to but just haven't dared yet."
