What a day! We’ve kicked off the fourth Lamu Yoga Fes­ti­val with a bang.

Our vol­un­teers did a won­der­ful job wel­com­ing hun­dreds of guests at the Shela Bazaar, with fresh coconuts in hand.

We had our first round of yoga class­es in four dif­fer­ent venues around the village.

In the evening, we had a intro­duc­tion from the fes­ti­val’s chair­la­dy Moni­ka Fauth, drum­ming by kids from Anidan, and plen­ty of danc­ing and socializing.

Fol­low the hash­tag #lamuyo­ga to see pho­tos, videos and tweets about activ­i­ties all week long. Here are just a few from today:
