You Call This Yoga is gearing up for its seventh annual YogaFest NC, a fundraiser which helps the nonprofit fulfill its mission to help the physically challenged and underserved improve their lives with yoga.

This all-day retreat on Saturday, April 7, at NCSU’s McKimmon Center will feature a variety of yoga sessions, a vegan lunch, holistic healing practices and wellness exhibits. Registration is $75 per person.

“YogaFest NC offers yoga and wellness classes and seminars for all body types and experience,” said Howie Shareff, founder of You Call This Yoga.

“With 40 classes over four different times throughout the day, any novice may develop a practice that is accessible to their body and mindset. The 75-minute classes provide diverse, proven techniques to reduce physical and emotional tension, and develop healthier life skills.”

The event allows attendees to join a community of yoga practitioners, and to discover products and services from area wellness businesses. The catered lunch from Neomonde is a healthy and delicious bonus, he says.

Led by 40 teachers from around the Triangle and North Carolina, session topics at YogaFest include meditation, chair yoga, restorative yoga, gentle, moderate, and active mat classes. Advanced yoga education seminars will be offered at $20 each.
