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 the way yoga pushes me to stretch my body. I always feel soooo good after!
I love the emphasis on breathing.
I love how yoga makes me feel strong and appreciate what my body can do!
How hard it is.
I love the meditative aspect of yoga!
I love that is helps me feel relaxed and destressed!
I usually do yoga every Tuesday. It makes my week and keeps me grounded. I would love the opportunity to try new classes and get away. Plus, I really like Lashing 🙂
The deep stretches feel sooo good!
I am a first year doctoral student and yoga has been critical to keeping my priorities in line and my stress at bay!
I love yoga because it helps restore body and mind
Has been. While since I’ve been!
Yoga give me peace of mind
What I love most about yoga is its emphasis on “stay on your own mat” – meaning, don’t worry about the people beside you, don’t compare yourself or feel less than adequate. Just focus on your own practice and breathe. Great advice for life beyond the yoga mat too!
i love the peace of mind that i always have when leaving a yoga class! so refreshing!
I love that yoga is there for you in good times and bad. As long as you come back to your mat, and give it your best, that is always enough. I also love the feeling after a tough, sweaty class…bliss!
I love the stress relieving effects of yoga!
Like running, I just love how in tune with and aware of my body I am while doing it. And how great I feel afterwards!
I love how yoga makes me slow down and concentrate on stretching to relax
I love the mind body connection. I also love yoga because it forces me to stretch which I usually need after runs!!
I love yoga because it quiets my mind. It is also something I used to do every week with my Dad when I was in college, so it reminds me of him.
My favorite thing about yoga is how great it stretches my body out after a week of running. I can’t get the same effect from simply stretching before and after a run. We have free yoga outside in Philly too 🙂
I go to yoga at least 5 times a week, and I really love it. I love the message that the past is the past, and the future is something that hasn’t happened yet, so why not stay in the present? It really keeps me grounded and gives me a great workout. What a cool giveaway!
My favorite part about yoga is that is calms my stress level and helps me ponder life’s most important things.
I love the sabasana in yoga!! best friggin part!
I love that I can see how much I’ve improved in my muscles and in my ability to do poses that just a year ago I would have though “absolutely not!”
what a fun post!! I’ve always wanted to go to wanderlust! Well…at least since I’ve found yoga haha Honestly, the practice intimidated me for a long time (I was always more of a tomboy/athlete) but then I realized how amazing it can be! I’ve gotten so into it and try to go often! I love the feeling I get when I’m on my mat practicing to get better, go deeper into the moves and just enjoy it. 🙂
When I do yoga, I feel deeply connected to my body. 🙂
Yoga was my only way to relax in grad school and its still my go to. I love it because I can do it anywhere and it is my own practice, so it can be what I need and be for me.
yoga is a great way to relax, clear your mind and re-center yourself. i always feel so refreshed after yoga it is so calming.
I love how yoga calms me no matter when I do it! It really brings me back to a peaceful place.
I love how relaxed yoga makes me feel.
Yoga Is my moving meditation. It is the perfect balance between strength and flexibility.
The ability to tune out. I love just flowing through positions while listening to music and letting all the stresses of the day go.
being able to focus
Feeling like I can zone out from the world but really focus on my breathing and stretches!
A good stretch and just being able to clear my mind.
For me, yoga is the perfect way to relax after a tough way at work– plus all the stretching and strength work really complements my running routine!
I love how yoga clears my mind and helps me relax more than any other type of exercise. Yoga makes me feel good about myself and my body… I find it pretty amazing that if I am feeling anxious and stressed, I can leave yoga class an hour and a half later feeling like a new person.
I love being able to stretch and relax 🙂
I love doing yoga while half/full marathon training! Helps me stay focused and helps my muscles!
I love how yoga makes me feel inside and out. It has calmed and strengthened me in every aspect of my life. My husband can see the difference it has made in me and pushes me to go when he knows I could be spending rare time with him. There’s also nothing better than sweating your butt off for an hour and ending with a big smile on your face. Ok, I’ll stop, I love yoga.
The great balance it offers in contrast to my regular running and crossfit workouts. I love the stretch!
The fact that it gives me a legit excuse to just slow down and relax (mentally at least).
I love yoga’s ability to get me out of a bad mood!
I love the amazing feeling of freedom and flexibility after yoga- such a stress relief oasis in the middle of the week!
Heart openers…camel pose!
Yoga helps with my stretching so much! I like to do short routines after my runs that focus on my lower body.
The stretch feels soooo good!! 🙂
I love that yoga makes my back feel better and I can do yoga anywhere. It’s the perfect exercise!
I love the calmness of it and I can forget about everything else!!
I love that yoga helps me focus on the power of breathing!
