If you love yoga and you love Kashi, I think you are going to be incredibly pumped about today’s giveaway!
This summer, Kashi is partnering with Wanderlust Yoga Festivals to celebrate mindful living and empower people to live a healthy lifestyle. When I was approached by Kashi and Wanderlust and learned about this partnership and their mission, I knew I wanted to be involved in some capacity.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Wanderlust, it is the fast-growing yoga lifestyle brand behind the five summer festivals that take place across the United States and Canada.
This year, festivals are popping up in Stratton (June 19-22), Aspen-Snowmass (July 3-6), Squaw Valley (July 17-20), Whistler (July 31-August 4) and Tremblant (August 21-24).
Wanderlust Festivals offers yoga, music, outdoor hikes, adventure runs, kayaking, paddleboarding, biking, lectures and more. I will be attending two days of the festival at the Stratton Mountain Ski Resort in Bondville, Vermont at the end of June and I would love to have you join me! (Be sure to check out the giveaway at the bottom of this post!)
Wanderlust Festivals promise to be an adventure for your body, mind and soul. The festivals bring together the world’s leading yoga teachers, top musical acts, renowned speakers, exquisite chefs and exciting performers. Attendees have the option of attending one day or several days for a multi-day mountaintop retreat experience. When researching the festival I am going to attend in Vermont, I found myself feeling more and more excited about the festival when I realized I will have the chance to not only immerse myself in music and yoga but also participate in adventure hikes, mountain runs and informative lectures about a variety of topics including nutrition, motivation and more.
Here’s a tiny glimpse at what’s happening from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday during the Stratton Mountain Festival:
There’s no shortage of things to do, huh!?
I’ve also been told that there will be no shortage in delicious food to eat!
In 2014, Wanderlust’s sustainable dining experience will be more prominent than ever and will feature Farm-to-Table dinners, high-end mountaintop dining created with fresh, locally grown foods and Wanderlust wine. A number of brands will also be on hand to provide attendees with samples, including Kashi. I am excited to partner with Kashi and Wanderlust and can’t wait to attend the festival and bring you guys along for the ride!
And that brings us to today’s fun (and delicious!) giveaway.
One PBF reader will win two tickets to the Stratton Mountain Wanderlust Festival in Bondeville, Vermont and will also receive a Kashi prize pack full of goodies I selected myself based on my personal favorites!
You can expect to receive lots of delicious samples including the following:
- Kashi Chocolate Chip Chia Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars
These crunchy bars are my new favorite! I love them on their own or crumbled on top of a cup of creamy Greek yogurt.
- Kashi GOLEAN Crisp Cinnamon Crumble Cereal
The Non-GMO Project verified cereal contains 11 grams of protein and no artificial additives, preservatives or ingredients. Most cereal leaves me starving an hour later, but this one has staying power! Bonus points for maintaining crispiness when soaked in a bowl of milk!
- Kashi GOLEAN Crunch Cereal
I’ve been buying this fiber-packed cereal for years and still adore it! I frequently use it as a granola substitute and sprinkle it on top of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese as a great afternoon snack!

I love that yoga makes me more confident! After a good yoga session I stand taller, think more clearly, smile brighter + have more patience through my work day. I’ve actually been meaning to write a blog post about how yoga helps support me as an entrepreneur, so thanks for this inspiration! And the great offer with Kashi + Wanderlust. I’ll be in VT that weekend and would love to go to this event!,
The deep stretch and just relaxing!
I love how easy it is for me to relax when doing yoga. It is hard to slow down sometimes, and doing yoga helps me with that. My gym routine was strictly strength training and cardio for the longest time. I am happy I added yoga to it!
Yoga is a great balance for all the stress my body gets from running. I typically walking before and after my runs so yoga is also great for stretching!
How it helps me relax after a hard day!
I have a super stressful job. I love Yoga to clear my mind and “put me in a zone.” 🙂
I love the way yoga makes my mind and body feel. It makes me feel rejuvenated yet calm.
What I love most about yoga is that it taught me to slow down & love my body (flaws & all!)
I love yoga because I can take my mat outside and just practice!
I love the escape from the daily grind of a residency program!
I love how yoga makes me feel present, like life slows down to each inhale, exhale and smile. Too often the daily pace is frantic. Yoga slows the time and makes me grateful for the present moment!
If I had to pick one thing I love most about yoga, it is the the peace it has given me with my body. I spent years being so unkind to myself, yoga helped me appreciate what I can do and let go of what I currently cannot do and knowing that its right where I should be 🙂
I love how yoga soothes my entire body, mind and soul – from stretching the smallest muscles to easing the constant buzz of my mind.
As crazy as it is, yoga feels like the only time I get to stop and BREATHE. I’d love to go to this festival!
I do a lot of running and kickboxing, so yoga is a great way to stretch everything out. I’ve noticed a much great range of flexibility with my kickboxing, and better breathing habits while running after starting yoga.
I love how yoga involves the entire body. I find it much easier to “hit” all body areas with a yoga routine, whereas I need to put more thought into balancing more traditional workouts,
I love yoga in that it makes me a better runner! improved flexibility and mind-body awareness is great for an achy runner’s body!
I love that yoga centers me when I’m feeling stressed (which is a lot!) . I focus on simply breathing in and out and allowing my body to relax – 1 hour later I feel like a whole new person!
It totally wakes me up!
I love that it makes me slow down. I do mostly strength training and cardio workouts but I love that yoga forces me to be really mindful and think about my breath and the way my body is moving.
Yoga lets me concentrate on my own thoughts for a while and makes me focus on what’s important in life.
i love how it centers me.
I love savasana.
I love how it constantly pushes you to go further and be better than before. I need to start doing it again, I recently moved and haven’t been to a class here yet!
It just helps me feel so calm and centered. The perfect way to start or end a day!
I love that yoga just leaves me feeling relaxed, no matter how busy or stressful life gets.
I love that yoga has given me a sense of sanity while recovering from a (running) stress fracture. 🙂
I love how calm it makes me feel, no matter how anxious or stressed out I feel.
As an avid distance runner, it’s a great way to loosen up and soothe my muscles after a tough week of training. I also love the balance and tranquility it gives me that extends to other parts of my life as well.
I love that yoga is calming for the body, mind, and soul. It’s a feel good all over exercise
I like the mental peace that yoga gives me 🙂
I love the feeling it leaves me with at the end of class…a hundred times more flexible, strong, and calm than when I walked in!
Hi Julie!
I’ve been away from your blog for a few days, but Wanderlust has just concluded Yoga in the City. An all-day yoga event in four big cities across America. I went to the one in Philadelphia and it was great. It was so hot and crowded, but nobody cared, because the Piazza was so full of light and love. Man, I wish I saw this post earlier. I would have LOVED to win tix to the festival in Vermont. Ah well. Another time.
the stretching and sweet soreness the next day !
my favorite thing about yoga is the mental release, and the pacing of each move… it allows you to take in exactly what your body is capable of. Strength!
