The enthusiasm for yoga on Lake Wörthersee is not only shown during the festival. According to Kurier.at , yoga has developed into an integral part of local culture. Hotels around the lake now regularly offer yoga courses. This development is due to the fact that Lake Wörthersee began to promote the topic of yoga four years ago, with the aim of becoming the largest outdoor yoga studio in Europe.

More and more people, including athletes and women under 30, show interest in yoga offers that often take place in the water in a beautiful environment. Velen Hotels, such as the Schlosshotel in Velden, have already developed special yoga packages to revitalize the low season.
