Festivals might be known for music, mud, and cheap beer, but there are now over 1,000 wellness festivals every year in the US. Celebrating holistic living and mindfulness, they're bringing together yoga teachers, meditation instructors and wellness lovers for a new kind of festival experience.

We’re losing focus on the present. We spend 47% of our time thinking about something other than what we’re actually doing. In the UK, US and Australia, fuelled by the desire to slow down and appreciate the moment, mindfulness – which can reduce anxiety by 70% – is now the antidote to busy city lifestyles.

Yoga and meditation are evolving from personal pursuits to institutional aids as employers, schools, prisons, and the NHS seek to tap into their physical and mental health benefits. How can the widespread adoption of these practices help enhance the wellbeing of society as a whole?

To the stressed professionals of NYC, it can be difficult to find the time and nearby space to sit down and practice mindfulness. BE TIME is hoping to solve these issues by taking its meditation studio on the road, bringing a soothing space to people's doorsteps – instead of having them travel to find it.
