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 I can completely shut off my brain, back away from the I-phone and just breathe for an hour.
I love how present I feel when doing yoga and focusing on my breathing
It helps my body recover
I love how yoga helps you focus on the imbalances in your body!
I love how yoga clears my head and helps me re-focus on my goals and values!
I love yogi because it gives me time for introspection.
I love the quiet peaceful time among the busy hectic days!
I love when i get that great yoga-stretch feeling in my hips after running!
I love pretty much everything about yoga but especially the peace and calm that comes from the breathing and practice no matter how long the practice is- 15 minutes or 90 minutes, it’s all rejuvenating.
It’s what I look forward to most during the day. No matter how stressful the day is, when I have a yoga class to look forward to, it makes everything seem a bit more manageable somehow!
Sounds really cool!!
I’m going to answer the opposite:
don’t like Yoga because I find I’m very bored due to it’s slow pace and often discouraged by my lack of flexibility! That said, I think If I were immersed in something like Wonderlust it would provide the atmosphere to succumb to the Yogi mind set and I would learn to appreciate it as a workout!

I love the stretching and the way I feel afterwards!
Yoga is the only time I can really let go of any self-expectations and just enjoy the experience – something I have yet to find with any other activity! Plus, it’s great for tight muscles 🙂
I really love how it helps me focus and relax but still kicks my butt!
I love how relaxed and centered I feel after yoga!
I love the quiet of yoga
There are so many things to love about yoga, but my favorite is the twists. In yoga you move your body in ways you don’t in any other aspects of your life and it awakens parts of your body that need some awakening!
I love the deep stretch that yoga provides and how it increases my flexibility. Great after a long run. It’s calming and gives me “me time”.
The kashi chia bars look ah-mazing!,
The thing I like most about yoga is the calming effect it has on me, mentally. It’s a nice, relaxing escape after a stressful day at work.
I love how yoga prepares me for my day. When I am able to practice in the morning before work, I’m more calm, focused, and don’t become stressed out so easily. I’m already regretting skipping this morning, stressful days are no good without it.
I had done yoga in the past, but once I rediscovered it during my 10K training, it’s been part of my weekly routine. I’ve gotten so much better at running due to yoga and the stretching you get is the best. It also works great for “rest days” because you can just do a simple stretch routine. Love it!
Yoga is my therapy, I do it every morning and cant imagine getting through my day without it! I love that it centers me, and helps me to start my day in a positive way! I always feel so accomplished when I can master a new pose. Its amazing!!
I love that yoga gives me the mental space to focus on positivity!
i love that yoga lets me leave my life behind for 90 minutes and i just focus on the poses. It also keeps injuries at bay and allows me to run long distances without my IT band flaring up1
I love how yoga makes me feel about myself. After I started consistently practicing, my body confidence boosted x10. My favorite style is vinyasa hot, and I also think there’s no feeling like the one when I leave a class totally sweaty but still really calm. It’s a practice that I will be continuing for the rest of my life!
I love how I improve each time I go to a class. It seems as if things I thought I wasn’t able to do are attainable if I just try.
I always feel very relaxed when I finish yoga. Nothing else like it 😉
While I love a lot of things about yoga, I think my favorite is just the feeling of serenity and acceptance I feel after completing a practice. No matter what I’m going through, yoga seems to provide a calmness I can’t match doing anything else!
I love the way that it forces my mind to stop racing and the way that it makes me both relax and go out of my comfort zone at the same time!
I love yoga because it is the one time in my crazy busy day where i can truley feel relaxed and calm. Its a whole body calmness. I love how I feel the stress and craziness just dissolve.
I love doing a few stretches with my boyfriend at the end of a long day. We do a sequence he has been doing for years now to help with a back injury and it is a wonderful way to unwind and share something that brings us closer together without having to say a word.
I love finding my center most about yoga.
I used to be super inflexible before I started yoga. So much so that I was having back issues. My roommate convinced me to give it a chance after she thought my living room attempt at downward dog was a joke because my knees were bent so much. haha I’ve been hooked ever since. I love the stretch, the calmness, the progress and growth I’ve been able to make, and the me time!
I love how focusing on my breath and holding a pose can remove from my mind the running list of things to do!
Thanks
I love the surprising new muscles that I find when I get into yoga poses; don’t usually get to those in my regular workouts!
What I love about yoga is it can be differet every time. It can be energizing, calming, challenging, easy and nurturing. It can be anything you want it to be. 🙂
I am currently training for my next half marathon but i never get a great stretch in afterwards. Yoga gives me that deep stretch that benefits not only my sore tight muscles but helps my mind to relax and reset.
I love the quiet time and working on my flexibility!
I love the peace I feel afterwards!
i love being more flexible and slouching less afterwards!
I love how yoga makes me feel relaxed, but at the same time you can feel your body getting stronger!! It’s a win win workout for me:)
How I can feel totally spaced out and totally tuned in at the same time (if that makes sense). I also love the calm feeling I get afterwards!
I love the relaxation aspect since I’m typically go go go!
I love how relaxing yoga is! I always leave classes feeling so calm and rejuvenated 🙂
I love yoga because it is keeps me focused on being in the moment! I can get stressed pretty easy about things in the future or past but yoga has helped me focus on one thing at a time.
Yoga is fabulous for the inner (emotional and spiritual) and outer (physical) strength it creates.
My favorite part of yoga is seeing improvement and hitting milestones. I’ve had so many since I started a few years ago (headstand, crow to chaturanga, scissor legs side crow) and I can’t wait to hit many more! Especially splits 🙂
I read about Wanderlust festivals last year and attended a free Yoga in the City Wanderlust festival last month. It was so fun! I would LOVE to go to the weekend long festival!
I love how it makes my body feel!
I love that you don’t need to be a pro to do it, and you can easily get back into it even if you haven’t done it in awhile!
I just love how relaxing, rejuvenating, and spiritual yoga is! Yoga really brings together the variables of the health/wellness with physical health and spiritual health.
