International Yoga and Music Festival at Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein
Om am See is one of Central Europe's most renowned yoga and music festivals. The venue is the Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein in Füssen, located directly on the Forggensee – one of Bavaria's largest reservoirs – with panoramic views of the Allgäu Alps and Neuschwanstein Castle. Eight indoor and outdoor spaces are spread across the area: a large outdoor stage, several yoga halls, open-air areas by the lake, plus SUP yoga sessions on the Forggensee itself.
Over 40 international yoga teachers shape the festival every year. Regulars include Shiva Rea (California, Tantra Flow), Meghan Currie (Bali, Vinyasa), Dr. Ronald Steiner (German Ashtanga teacher and doctor), and many others. The program ranges from powerful Vinyasa Flows and Ashtanga to silent meditation, Ayurveda, Pranayama, and Sound Journeys, to Aerial Yoga, Acro Yoga, and SUP Yoga.
Unlike pure yoga festivals, Om am See places equal emphasis on live music. International acts perform on the large open-air stage and in the Festspielhaus, often with a spiritual, world music, or acoustic orientation – Xavier Rudd (Australia), Mogli (Berlin), Dave Stringer (Los Angeles, Kirtan / Mantra), Mose (Guatemala) with Franko Heke (New Zealand), The Hanuman Project (Bali), and similar major artists.
Om am See is explicitly family-friendly. A dedicated children's program with playful yoga, craft workshops, nature exploration, and small concerts runs parallel to the main program. Families can also stay overnight in the camping area by the lake.
The Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein was opened in 2000 for the musical of the same name and has since also hosted concerts, conferences, and festivals. Its location directly on the Forggensee, with sightlines to Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein, gives the festival an atmosphere unique in Europe. Water, mountains, and the fairytale castle backdrop merge with Asana practice and mantra concerts for a holistic experience.
Füssen is Bavaria's southernmost town on the Lech river, framed by the Allgäu Alps and immediately on the Austrian border. The Königswinkel region with Forggensee, Hopfensee, Bannwaldsee, and the two royal castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau is considered one of Germany's most scenic areas. Om am See has been deliberately using this backdrop as its stage since its first edition.
The 5th edition of Om am See runs from July 10 to 12, 2026 at the Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein. Over 40 international yoga teachers and several headliner concerts are spread across eight spaces, from the large open-air stage by the lake and the Festspielhaus main stage to yoga halls and SUP yoga sessions on the Forggensee itself.
The festival combines all-day yoga and meditation classes (Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, Aerial, Acro), breathwork, Ayurveda, and Sound Journeys with evening concerts. Tickets are available as day passes or 3-day passes online.
