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 how yoga makes me feel at peace with myself and the world and stretches out my tight running muscles!
What I love most about yoga is how much it has improved my flexibility and muscle tightness. Also love how it helps to clear your head and relax.
I love that it can be relaxing while working and toning your muscles.
I lvoe that yoga can make me sweat like a cardio workout but not wear me out … it gives me energy.
yoga is a good reminder that my flexibility has a long way to go, and that i need to have patience and be good to myself!
I love how yoga forces me to slow down! It seems I’m always running around to keep pace with everyone else! During yoga you get time to tune in to your body and really connect with yourself!
I love connecting with my whole body and getting out of my head.
I love that yoga makes me feel strong and graceful at the same time!
I love knowing how good it is for my body, all while barely ever breaking a sweat!
I love how Yoga is challenging yet relaxing at the same time!
I most like the lifestyle and community that yoga creates 🙂
I love how when everything seems to be going a mile a minute yoga creates a calm environment where I can focus, re-group, and tackle the rest of the day!
I love how it de-stresses me and helps me connect my mind & body.
I’m still new to yoga, but I love how it brings on a sense of peace and calm after a hectic day.
I love how yoga centers and calms me. It is a perfect balance for other exercises I enjoy in life, like running and biking 🙂
My hips are naturally super tight, and I carry all my stress in shoulders and back. Yoga helps me loosen up and stretch the knots and muscles. I’m not very flexible right now, but hopefully the more yoga I do, the more flexible I’ll get!
I love that yoga forces me to slow down and focus on one thing – this is becoming more and more of a necessity as I am constantly trying to do a million things at once. I love the way I feel when I am practicing yoga and just after finishing – the sense of accomplishment, physical exertion and mental stability helps to reenergize me and reprioritize my thinking.
I like that it makes me feel calm and helps me to put things in perspective.
I just recently have gotten really into yoga. It was a great way to meet people when I moved to a new city as well as complete stress reliever during a hectic time in my life.
The stretching it provides after runs!
I love that yoga makes my muscles feel soo much better after back-to-back runs and how it improves my core strength.
It helps my back when I sleep 🙂
I enjoy how it focuses me and of course the strength!
Yoga provides me with the chance to refocus from the chaos of daily life and is my favorite way to spend my “me time” 🙂
I love how yoga quiets the mind and allows me to deeply stretch. My main form of fitness is running and I find that I can never stretch enough. Incorporating about 2 yoga classes a week allows me to refocus and realign, as well as stretch out those tight calves!
Definitely the sense of calm!
My favoriate part about yoga is that it’s the first sport/exercise that my husband will do with me! We’ve found it to be a great way to de-stress and work on our flexibility for our respective sports (figure skating and powerlifting).
I like yoga because it strengthens and lengthens my muscles.
I love that yoga makes it easier to deal with stress when I am off my mat by reminding me to just breathe and stay calm. It will all work out!
I love how it stretches and tones my body. It’s calming and energizing!
I love that yoga forces me to stretch. I lift weights primarily and am quick to begin my workouts and just leave the gym when I’m finished. Yoga makes me slow down and stretch all my sore spots out. It’s nice to have a less intense workout but still feel the burn.
I love that it feels so therapeutic for my body! I’m working hard and pushing limits in every other workout, so it’s nice to feel like there’s one thing that truly treats my body the way it deserves 🙂
I love that it reminds me to be in the present!
Yoga helps me to calm down when I’m stressed, and I love the soreness in my arms the next day.
I love the way it centers me after a crazy day. I’m pregnant and have a 2 year old so I have those days a lot lol.
I love that yoga brings me a sense of calm.
I love that yoga always offers a peaceful, balanced place for me to go in any environment. After a long day in my corporate office, yoga provides a retreat that realigns my priorities and leaves me energized.
I truly believe yoga heals both the body and mind. It helps relieve my every day stress.
I love how calming yoga is! I know it is doing my body good because I always seem to be sore the next day too!
That it keeps me limber for running!
I love the sense of calmness I get from a yoga session! Once on the mat all my stress melts away & I am one with my breath! Great feeling!
I love the way yoga can transform my day. I don’t feel the stress of my life in the same way. I also love the stretching and toning in combination with other workouts. It is a great compliment.
Wow, for this awesome prize the question is as simple as what do I love most about yoga!! I love everything about yoga!!! In one statement, I love what yoga can do for me: it’s empowering, calming, mentally challenging, pain relieving, and (bonus) makes my legs look leaner 🙂
All I have to say is wow! Sounds like an amazing experience!
I love the way it calms me no matter how crazy my day is!!
I love that there are so many types of yoga. There are so many ways to adapt it, whether you want more stretch and relaxation, more flow, more strength. I could do a different form of yoga everyday and never get bored.
I love that it forces me to present. I can get so focused and so wrapped up in things that I don’t have yet, that I forget to focus on and appreciate the things happening around me. In yoga, I have to be present in my body and mind…have you ever tried to think about your grocery list while balancing on one leg?! Doesn’t work. It reminds me to slow down, enjoy the moment, and don’t focus on what has yet to happen.
I love love love the release I feel from back to back camel poses in Bikram!
I do a lot of running, so I love how it helps with my sore hips
I love yoga to help stretch my runner’s legs!
