Concept
This graphic of the venue depicts the idea behind the reasons and intentions of the Urban Flow Yoga Festival.
URBAN – the Venue of Old Market sitated in the centre of the city, and involved in wellbeing and guality of life on the streets of Bratislava. Supporting community lifestyle within a city. Promoting local farmers, producers, designers, and artists as well as planetary ecology.
FLOW – symbolizing not only the river Danube, but the river within us, the flow of energy, ideas and creativity tgrough which we act and contribute to the city life but also to the relationships we form with our relatives, neighbours and fellow citizens.
YOGA – a state of mind, of lightness and illumination through the crown of the head, connecting to the surrounding and all beings in unity. Shining above the drawing of the building, where through the practice we not only evolve ourselves but also contribute to the evolution of the whole society

Gong Bath and Soundhealing
Is a Swiss musician and
an artist known for sensory experiences that question human perspective.
He radically states that the aim is not merely to bathe people in beautiful sounds. “It’s about what it does on the inside – what is revealed and what comes up and what you manage to feel“. Gong baths shift our experience of space. “Typically the gong sounds can alter the spatial awareness of people,” he says, “which is really important, especially in cities where we’re so crowded.”

Manu is a professional Hand-balancer and Arts Performer. He is part of one of the most proclaimed handstanding schools in the world, a London School of Handbalancing founded by his teacher Sainaa Janchivdorj.
