Smoky Mountain Yoga & Wellness Festival June 21 celebrating International Day of Yoga & Summer Solstice
Smoky Mountain Yoga & Wellness Festival
Celebrate International Day of Yoga and Summer Solstice among the Great Smoky Mountains on June 21st at the Smoky Mountain Yoga & Wellness Festival.
The Folkmoot Friendship Center Campus will be filled with activities centered on wellness Saturday, June 21.
A 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Smoky Mountain Yoga & Wellness Festival is sure to have something for everyone, whether you are seeking information about wellness, nutrition or movement from the many information sessions and vendors at the festival, looking for fun activities sure to enthrall the kids or seeking great music options during the summer solstice.
A festival of this size centered on yoga and whole body wellness is a first for Haywood County, and is the brainchild of Robin King, who was first introduced to yoga as a college student during a Rotary Exchange in Bali in 1982,
It was a 4 a.m. barefoot hike to Mount Batur for meditation and yoga that got her hooked.
“Yoga was not about awesome poses that morning, but about quiet time, the spectacular surroundings and going within,” King said. “It was transforming and an experience that changed the trajectory of my entire life.”
Fast forward through marriage, children and career, culminating in operating her own successful restaurant and all-natural condiment company, Robin and her husband Jack moved to Haywood County in 2019. That was when she returned to a passion she’d kept in her heart for 40 years.
King is now a yoga instructor at Axis Studio, a certified immersive meditation leader and the founder of Smoky Mountain Yoga & Wellness Festival.
The festival she’s launching June 21 is a vision she’s had for the past five years.
“Yoga is for everybody,” she stresses, and to prove that she’s recruited instructors from a four-state and multi-county area to offer workshops for $15 on diverse topics such as qigong, sound healing, somatic movement, breathwork, whole body wellness, and yoga, of course. A VIP Pass allows unlimited access to all classes and workshops for just $50, and family-focused classes, L.E.A.N., family yoga and hula hooping, are just $15 per family. All other festival events are free.
Over 60 vendors, including artists, artisans, small businesses and batch makers, body work professionals, gourmet food and beverage providers will be on site for the festival.
For the kids, there will be an Imagination Station with mini yogis movement, flower crowns, glitter, story time, an arts and crafts table, music and hula hooping, all free of charge.
The schedule
The event kicks off with a free, dynamic opening ceremony at 10 a.m. outdoors "on the green,” the former sports field adjacent to the Folkmoot Campus, with lively music, movement and breathwork. The first 25 yogis to set up their mats will receive a complimentary mocktail drink ticket for the Roll Up Herbal Bar, set up in Queen Auditorium all day.
Movement classes and wellness workshops will continue throughout the day both outside and in the Queen Auditorium, the Axis Studio and conference rooms inside the Friendship Center.
The event will culminate at 7p.m. with a closing ceremony led by Jake Gilmore, Christy Tagye and the Axis Ensemble with motivational words, music and movement and a 7:51pm, summer solstice sunset.
There is plenty of space both inside and outside at the Folkmoot Friendship Center, 112 Virginia Ave., Waynesville, so the event will be held rain or shine.

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej
Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać
Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier
Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
