Awaken Yoga Festival Brings Multi-Stage Retreat to KwaZulu-Natal in March 2026

Glencairn Events is bringing the Awaken Yoga Festival to Glencairn Farm on Sani Pass Road in Himeville, KwaZulu-Natal this coming weekend, with three days of programming across six stages scheduled to run from March 27 through 29, 2026.

The festival promises more than eight hours of classes daily, delivered by a roster of over 30 teachers working across the six stages simultaneously. Programming spans yoga at all levels, pilates, dance, guided meditation and relaxation sessions, and workshops covering mindfulness, breath work, and self-care. Live music performances are woven throughout the weekend alongside trail runs of 10 kilometres and 6 kilometres, both included in the ticket price.

The venue, described on the festival site as "a small sheep farm in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg," sits at coordinates -29.701333, 29.4920724 on Sani Pass Road, Himeville 3256. The setting positions it squarely within the Southern Drakensberg landscape, which the organisers have leaned into as the event's central draw.

A single ticket tier is listed at R1,900.00 per person, with the class start time recorded as 11:00. That pass covers access to all classes and all six stages, camping facilities (attendees must bring their own equipment), hot showers, permanent ablutions, entry to both trail runs, and access to an onsite marketplace stocking yoga gear, healthy food, and eco-friendly products. Accommodation beyond the right to pitch a tent is not included in the ticket price; options ranging from additional camping to luxury cottages are available at extra cost on a first-come, first-served basis.

The festival site notes a commitment to "supporting local talent" through its music and vendor programming. Contact details for the organiser are available at awakenyogafestival@gmail.com or via cell and WhatsApp on 072 088 5373.
