Yoga festivals and retreats in headphones: more classes, one lawn
At festivals classes overlap, music spills over and teachers raise their voices. With one channel per class everything falls back into place. At international retreats the same class can arrive in several languages.
Three classes ten metres apart, no overlap
Every yoga festival has the same problem: many teachers, few suitable spaces, schedules that overlap. With speakers two nearby classes cover each other, and the main stage covers them all.
With three-channel headphones every class has its own channel: vinyasa, yin and meditation share the same lawn, and newcomers choose where to tune in. The headphone LED shows staff at a glance who is following which class.
Multilingual retreats
At retreats with participants from different countries, an interpreter can translate live on a second channel: the teacher speaks their language, everyone listens in theirs.
What it solves at a festival
One channel per class
Up to three classes at the same time in the same space.
Colours for the staff
The channel LED helps guide newcomers and count participants.
Live translation

Hundreds of people
With the fixed transmitter, the big main-stage class reaches everyone.
A programme from dawn
Sunrise meditation and evening sessions without waking campers or hotel guests.
Simple logistics
The kit arrives charged before the festival; you send it back afterwards.

Tips for organisers
- One distribution point. A desk at the entrance of the class area, with an ID or deposit in exchange for headphones, keeps things simple.
- Channels in the programme. Next to every class, write the channel: “Yin · channel 2”.
- Overnight charging. For multi-day festivals plan a space with sockets to charge the headphones at night.
- Spares. The kit always includes spare units: keep them near the desk.
