In
an Argentina where the decriminalization of marijuana seems a fact, a group of youths decided to
go counter to all and swear they can have fun when no drugs or alcohol is allowed in parties. "Yoga rave" is the name of this invention which provides a cocktail of yoga, meditation and electronic music.
Yoga rave starts at 20:30. The music slowly disappears and a teacher comes. "Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale," he repeats.
Mirror balls are immobile and the place is quiet. Meditation is not even disturbed by a group of kids who came with their parents. Even the bartenders disappear because under the bar, sitting cross-legged. Some, bored face weighs them, but still remain disciplined.

Rodrigo Bustos and Nicolás Pucci.
Musicians, friends, neighbors to the north, and practitioners of all
requirements of healthy living started the Yoga Rave in Argentina in 2007. They arranged the first party at the home of Rodrigo in the Bajo de San Isidro. He was then only fifteen. And had fun. But there was something missing: the music. And so was born So What Project!. They wanted to recreate the collective spirit of the rave.
Yoga Rave worked so well that brought the project to the Art of Living,
an NGO dedicated to combating stress as a way to achieve world peace. The total number of the followers started increasing gradually. This year Nicolas Rodrigo has played for 30 000 people in Berlin.
