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!

There is no judgment when you are taking a yoga class. I love setting an intention for the day when I start the class.
I love savasana!
I love how grounded and centered yoga masked me feel.
i love the feeling from quieting my mind and feeling my body!
I love how yoga takes me into such a peaceful state of mind and allows me to focus on moving my body and nothing else!
I love how yoga helps with my posture and feels soo good after running!
I love how yoga brings me back down from my high-strung life. It centers me, which is always welcome and necessary!
Yoga has helped me become a stronger rock climber, as it makes my muscles limber and my body more flexible – especially in my hips.
I love that yoga makes me feel so relaxed! I know I’ve worked hard but feel so stretched, peaceful, and wonderful! This sounds so fun!
I am so excited about this giveaway I can hardly even type a response!!
I just moved to Austin from Chicago 3 months ago. I joined the Wanderlust studio in Austin when I got here and just started doing yoga regularly for the first time. All I can say is that Wanderlust is a total game-changer. I’ve never felt healthier/happier!!
To answer your question though, I like the social/community aspect of taking classes, as well as the calm energy and mental clarity that I get from doing yoga.
Also – I really like Kashi
Yoga always makes my lower back issues feel better and always being relaxed afterwards 🙂
I love how relaxed and calm I feel afterward-it makes me able to be much more productive!
I play soccer in college and through all the years of playing my hips have killed me, but I decided to try yoga to see if it could help with the pain. Turns out it did more than just help me with my hips! I can run faster, I don’t get pulled muscles, and my olympic lifts have improved!! Yoga has changed me as a soccer player and over all as an athlete! Also, with my hectic schedule of being a student-athlete yoga has really helped to keep me from going insane by learning how to center my mind.
The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practicing the postures, breathing exercises and meditation makes you healthier in body, mind and spirit. Yoga lets you tune in, chill out, shape up — all at the same time. Yoga is wonderful! I need to do it more often.
I tend to skimp on the amount of stretching I should do after my runs, so I love the stretched out, relaxed feeling I get when I finish a great yoga session!
I love how yoga centers me…no matter how stressful life gets…yoga always makes me feel so at peace.
Forgetting about the daily stresses of life and achieving peace of mind.
I love how refreshed and relieved my body and mind feel after a good yoga session!
I love my yoga practice because it centers my mind and lightens my heart.
I love how yoga gets me out of my head and into my body and soul.
Yoga makes me feel strong. It is hard for me to slow my mind and be in the moment, but you have to during yoga.
I love that yoga is different and challenging everyday and that your yoga practices can easily adapt to how your body feels in that moment.
I love everything about yoga but mostly how strong I feel both mentally and physically.
Yoga always regenerates me – emotionally, physically, and mentally. It stretches out all my muscles and joints, taking
care of my body during each practice. After a yoga session, I feel a state of bliss that cannot be replicated by any other form
of exercise. It truly is an amazing way to begin your morning or end your day.
I love the humility of yoga.
Yoga has helped me de-stress. I enjoy the mindfullness that occurs when practicing yoga. The breathing exercises always make me feel refreshed. Plus, yoga is such a great workout for your core! I took a yoga for fitness in class in college and it was awesome.
I love how yoga elongates and stretches a lot of the muscles that become tight after running.
I love stretching areas of my body that I didn’t realize held tension!
Yoga is the best way to prove me that I can achieve a lot more with my body than I ever imagined, it just takes a little faith inside your own mind!
I love how calming it is
I love how relaxed and strong I feel afterwards.
I love that there are so many different types of yoga!
I like how yoga stretches me out since I won’t stretch on my own! I usually feel much better and stretchy when I’m done.
Yoga makes me feel balanced and able to handle anything
I love how yoga has basically saved my life and I hope it always stays a part of my life.
I am very much Type A so my brain is constantly spinning with things to do. I love how yoga makes me step outside my busy mind and center myself for the day!
I love that yoga can be strengthening and relaxing at the same time. It’s a lifelong sport that you can make as strenuous or as calming as you’d like, your body and mind reaps benefits no matter which direction you choose!
i love how it forces me to stretch and relax!
What I love most is how centred and at peace I feel after practice <3 my body is alive and tingles with energy but my mind is so calm!
yoga always helps with aches i have from work or being stressed
Yoga calms me down after a stressful day at work. It reenergizes me all the way from head to toe.
You get addicted doing it and it just becomes a part of your life to look forward to.
I love how it relaxes me during exams!
But mostly I love how I can buy cute lululemon clothing for it!
I love how yoga helps me with both mental and physical strength.
On a daily basis, I enjoy strength training, but yoga a few times a week is great. I love the deep stretch and relaxation.
Yoga is makes me feel so relaxed and chill like I just had a massage and since I’m a marathoner I love how it helps with my flexibility. I’ve even got my mom into yoga now since she’s been having back and knee problems. If I won, I’d take her with me and make it a mother/daughter event. 🙂
i like how good it makes my hips feel
I love the stretching and relaxation!!!!!
I love yoga because it’s challenging yet relaxing and really is a total mind body experience!
That is calms my mind!
I love the link between movement and breath.
