At first glance, yoga and art therapy may seem like two distinct disciplines. But in reality, they share a common goal: fostering mental health, emotional balance, and inner peace. That is why we would like to invite you to the World Art Therapy Festival, which will take place in September 2025 in Prague. Here you can learn that yoga and meditation, like art therapy, offer unique pathways to self-discovery, relaxation, and transformation.

Both disciplines help process emotions, release tension, and find inner calm—yoga through movement and meditation, and art therapy through creative expression. Their synergy lies in their shared ability to enhance focus on the present moment, encourage self-expression, and deepen the connection with one’s body and mind.

Are you ready to explore the healing magic of art? The World Art Therapy Festival is coming to Prague, offering a unique opportunity to delve into the profound connection between creativity and well-being.
