Founded by Charlotte Saint Jean and Mika de Brito, and now led by Laura Merchez and the Bellibulle association, the BLISS Yoga Festival brings together a community of teachers, practitioners, creators, therapists, and advocates dedicated to the world of yoga and wellness.

The name BLISS alone captures the spirit of the festival:

Be. Love. Inspire. Smile. Share.

An invitation to be, to love, to inspire, to smile, and to share.

Over the years, the festival has been built around a simple goal: to provide an accessible and vibrant space where everyone can come to practice, discover, experiment, share ideas, and take the time to reconnect with themselves.

In 2026, BLISS will continue this adventure with two complementary events—first in Toulouse and then in Bordeaux—within two committed and unique creative ecosystems. In Bordeaux, the festival is organized in collaboration with Darwin and the Bivouac Darwin studio.

For three days, BLISS will offer a rich program centered on yoga, gentle practices, wellness, music, and socializing.

The festival features more than 100 hours of programming spread over three days, including classes, workshops, and experiences for various skill levels and interests. The 2026 program is currently being developed and will be unveiled gradually.

Among the activities offered at BLISS are:

• Vinyasa Yoga;
• Hatha Yoga;
• Kundalini Yoga;
• Yin Yoga;
• Yoga Nidra;
• meditation;
• Pilates;
• Qi Gong;
• sound baths and vibrational practices;
• somatic and transformative practices.

The idea isn't to practice just one type of yoga, but to find the kind of yoga that suits us best, based on our energy, our desires, and how we're feeling at the moment.

The festival also features classes and workshops for a variety of audiences, including activities for children and families.

What also makes BLISS unique is its commitment to making yoga accessible to as many people as possible.

Whether you're a beginner or a regular practitioner, everyone is welcome to try out different approaches and discover new ways to take care of your body and mind.

Beyond the poses, the festival also places a strong emphasis on breathing, meditation, sound, movement, relaxation, and wellness practices.

The Yogablablas, which are open to the public, provide an opportunity to come together for talks and discussions on a variety of topics in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

It's a way of reminding us that yoga isn't just about what happens on the mat: it can also be a space for reflection, sharing, and connecting with others.

Yoga Searcher will once again be featured at the Yogi Market at BLISS Bordeaux.

This space brings together a selection of brands, designers, artisans, and wellness professionals focused on yoga and the art of living.

Among the announced exhibitors, Yoga Searcher will be there with its yoga apparel and accessories.

This will be an opportunity to discover or rediscover our collections, designed not only to support your practice but also all the moments that revolve around yoga: travel, retreats, moments of relaxation, getaways, and everyday life.

At Yoga Searcher, we see clothing as a second skin: comfortable, allowing for freedom of movement, and designed to accompany us far beyond the yoga mat.

Our participation in BLISS is also an opportunity to reconnect with our community, interact with you, and share our common passion for yoga and the lifestyle that goes along with it.

The Yogi Market is one of BLISS's signature spaces.

The Bordeaux edition brings together a wide range of offerings centered on yoga, wellness, and creativity: yoga accessories, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, books, handmade crafts, items for meditation, plants, tea, rituals, and many other discoveries.

The festival is also announcing a wellness area, featuring therapists and a variety of treatments and massages.

Admission to the Yogi Market is free: even if you don’t participate in the classes, everyone is welcome to come explore the exhibitors and enjoy the festival atmosphere.

BLISS views yoga as a holistic experience.

The practice continues with music and vibrations through a lineup of concerts, kirtans, and live music.

Artists and musicians thus help create this unique atmosphere, which is an integral part of the festival’s identity.

For the Bordeaux edition, several speakers have already been announced, including Charlotte Saint Jean, Mika de Brito, Laura Merchez, Aurélie Poles, Cyril Moreau, Raphan Kebe, Nathalie Goldstein, Hélène Mainguet, and many other teachers and artists.

The lineup will continue to evolve as the festival approaches.

For this new edition in Bordeaux, BLISS is setting up shop at Darwin, on the right bank of Bordeaux.

A landmark in the Bordeaux ecosystem, Darwin has been hosting projects focused on entrepreneurship, culture, the ecological transition, the restaurant industry, and sports for several years.

It is in this unique setting that BLISS will host its three-day event featuring workshops and gatherings.

The festival is thus conceived as a meeting between a community and a place: a space where people come to practice, but also to wander, explore, meet others, and take their time.
