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 I feel when I am done practicing yoga–refreshed and calm.
What don’t I love about yoga?!!
I guess my favorite thing about yoga is the escape from all my thoughts/worries. When I was practicing Bikram pre-pregnancy, I could tell a huge difference when my mind wandered vs. when I was meditative and focused on just my mind & body in those moments.
I love yoga because it helps me escape and connect to the world spiritually. Practicing yoga has kept me sober, happy, and sane.
It’s my “me” time – and I always feel fabulous both physically and mentally afterwards!
I love how relaxed and calm I feel after a great yoga class!
My roommate and I used to call yoga “exercise church” love how wide the spectrum is from relaxing to exhausting!
i love that yoga is a time to refocus on what is most important to me.
The concept of accepting yourself as you are. As a long time athlete and runner, it is refreshing to take personal judgement, criticism, and competition out of physicial activity and just “be” as I am on any given day.
The stretching and that it forces me to slow down and breathe.
I love that yoga is a great cross training for running
I love the energy of yoga. It’s full of gratitude, warmth, light, and love!

I think what I love most about yoga is the complexity of it. Yoga can push you to achieve new goals or allow you to mellow out and enjoy the stretching moments. There is always so much to learn, and that’s what keeps me coming back for more!
Yoga makes me feel like my insides are smiling, and that makes me happy!
Yoga forces me to stretch, reflect, and reminds me to slow down.
I love that yoga gives me a chunk of selfish time to unwind and clear my head.
I very seldom take the time to stop and relax and enjoy the moment. yoga helps me to do this.
I love what yoga has given me–an awareness of the deep connection that I have with myself. I am going to school to become a school counselor, and I plan to use the principles that I have become aware of through yoga and meditation to help my future students. 🙂
I love how yoga makes me feel not only physically but also mentally. I can feel my practice leak into my everyday life and make me a more mindful person.
What I love most about yoga is how aware it makes me. It helps me be aware of my body and the world around me in a very special way.
I love the mindfulness I get from yoga, both dusting practice and outside of it.
The stretching!
What I love most about yoga is the inner peace it brings to me. I go to relax but also feel like I am challenging my mind and body in a different way.
I love that a few minutes of yoga can ground me and also take me away from myself- from all of the stuff that moves around in our heads during the day and helps me relax.
I love feeling detoxified after all the side twists and wringing out my body. It feels so good to stretch in ways that your body isn’t used to/ doesn’t get much of after sitting at a desk all day!
I love finding what feels good when I do yoga! The stretches and the room I find in my body constantly surprise me!
I have never done yoga but would love to
I have never done yoga but would love to
I love yoga because it alleviates stress and prevents injuries from running
How refreshed I feel as I leave the studio plus a positive free mind 🙂
I love yoga because it is a great way to re-center myself and be kind to my body after too much running!
I loved your comment about yoga the other day. I’m so inflexible so I’m always embarrassed stepping into a class and worried that people are judging me. When I do convince myself to participate I love the way my body feels after – strong, loose, and relaxed!
I love how it forces me to relax and chill out for an hour with no phone, ipad, etc. It’s a necessary part of my week!
I love yoga because it’s the hardest workout for me to convince myself to do, but it’s the most rewarding in the end. I leave feeling limber, lean, calm, and accomplished.
clear mind and easy moving
My favorite thing about yoga is that it is the exercise of balance. Balancing your body and mind. Balancing your head and your heart. Balancing yourself and the world around you. Yoga is learning to balance life.
I love the restorative effect that yoga has – stretching and building strength, while also calming my mind — I feel so rejuvenated after yoga practice.
I love how I feel after yoga! Stretched and relaxed
Stretching my hip flexors – so tight after work!
I love the state of being yoga brings to me. I learned how to let go, and to not Cary the burden.
yoga for me is the one time during the day where I can completely let go and forget about everything going on in my life. it’s the chance for me to completely take care of myself — body, mind, and soul! it also has helped strengthen and tone my body — and make me THAT much better of a runner!
I love how much more relaxed I am after a good yoga session! There is too much stress in this world . 🙂
I love yoga for the good stretch. Toxins release. And feeling of peace
I love the feeling after yoga. I feel so refreshed and relaxed.
What I love most about yoga is the way it has opened my heart and eyes to the joy that is found in every detail of life. A lesson is to be learned and a moment had from washing dishes to giving my (now very happy) dog a spoonful of peanut butter! Yoga has provided me with a sense of joy that I can then share with others throughout my day.
I love that I continue to expand my boundaries when I am doing yoga!
yoga first thing in the morning. wakes me up, works out all the kinks and gives a slight “glow” without completely depleting me. 20 minutes does the trick, then i feel like i earned my shower!
I love the way that I feel after a great yoga session the most!
It seems like I am constantly going – keeping busy with work, my dog, and my husband and family which I love, but for me yoga is a brief break from everything and some time for me. it is where I can find my breath and concentate without outside distractions. I love to workout – cardio and weights, but yoga is a place where i feel my body healing and i always feel amazing after. I have been wanting to go to wanderlust for years and would absolutely love to go!
I love that makes you have positive inner monologue. If you are not positive, you will easily fall out of a posture. Going to yoga helps me increase my self love and confidence.
What I love most about yoga is how I can be alone with my thoughts and my body. My yoga mat is the place I go to slow down and pay attention to my body and thoughts.
