At Hellfest 2025, morning yoga sessions attract up to 500 metalheads: “It’s a bubble of gentleness”

Spectators staying at the Hellfest campsite can participate in a free yoga session every morning led by a teacher who's also a metal fan. And it's a hit!
By Éric Bureau , special correspondent in Clisson (Loire-Atlantique) and Lucas Marcellin"I was afraid no one would come." Elsa Sunita knows Hellfest and its audience inside and out. This "big, bad metalhead," as she calls herself, has been coming since the second edition, in 2007. She was even there at Furyfest, the festival that preceded Hellfest.
Still. When she did her first yoga session Thursday morning in Clisson (Loire-Atlantique), she was very afraid of getting winded. And she saw 500 people arrive under the Metal Corner marquee, at the entrance to the campsite.
