Downward dogs, upright dogs and lucky dogs working out with their owners all featured at last weekend’s Iris: Your Escape festival, held over two days at the West Kowloon Cultural District’s Nursery Park.

The event, in its sixth incarnation, reflects Hong Kongers’ growing passion for yoga, meditation, dance and fitness. More than 4,000 attendees – many with dogs – turned out to try the 130 activities on offer, compared with just the few hundred people who attended the festival’s debut event.
