The 2026 Smoky Mountain Yoga & Wellness Festival will be held June 19-21 on the Folkmoot Friendship Center Campus in Waynesville.
Celebrating whole-body wellness with 38 classes and workshops, this second-annual event has grown into a full weekend of yoga, but also sound and somatic therapy, kirtan, qigong, hooping, empowering workshops, hiking, forest bathing and more.
The shopping and dining areas are open from 5-9 p.m. June 19-20.
At 6 p.m. on June 19, visitors will meet in front of the Folkmoot Friendship Center and kickoff the weekend activities together with music, movement and joy as they parade around the campus together.
The weekend wraps up on June 21 with an onsite yoga hike and forest bathing experience at the local luxury mountain resort, Elk & Embers, with limited availability.
Two classes are offered Friday evening, Soulful Summer Bloom; Hatha Style Flow with Scott Carson at 6:30 p.m. and a sound bath with Eric Lindstrom of Resonance for Healing at 8 p.m.
