Robin was first introduced to yoga and meditation in Bali, Indonesia, in 1982. After decades of moving in and out of her practice, and selling her restaurant in St. Petersburg, Florida, she dove into a Yoga Teacher Training at the Waynesville Yoga Center to both take her practice to a deeper level, and to learn to share the tools she has used for decades to heal and blossom. As an instructor at Axis Yoga, Robin "believes that yoga is for everyone, and strives to create a safe and inclusive space for all to explore their practice, integrating elements of meditation, pranayama and mindfulness to cultivate a connection with body and mind." This festival has been a vision of Robin's for more than five years, gathering a community of hand-selected vendors, instructors, workshop hosts and entertainers where you will feel the spirit of the activities and surrounding mountains, allowing you to realign with nature as you join our village of family and friends.
