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!

My favorite thing about yoga is feeling free.
I love how challenging it is for me! I’m a runner with no flexibility. Yoga is hard for me!
I love how it centres my body and mind.
I had such a hard time getting into yoga at first. I was used to the high intensity workouts and “needed” that I must sweat till I pass out kind of sensation. But as I totally began to change my perception towards working out in general and being kinder to my body, I found myself falling more and more in love with yoga. It’s helped me to breathe with intention, my posture (used to be a lot worse from sitting in front of the computer all day! I used to look like the hunchback), concentration, and so much more. I feel empowered and adventurous when I stand on top of my mat.
I used to hate yoga. Now I really love the way it relaxes my mind and stretches out my legs after hours of sitting in school. I just finished my first year of law school and the stress was extreme. Yoga helps me center myself and calm my mind
What I love about yoga is how it can be a challenge for me, not only physically, but mentally as well. It is not exercise, it is a state of being, and I love how I feel when my yoga practice is completed for the day. Yoga has an incredible way of turning a not-so-great day around and bringing me exactly to where I need to be mentally so I can re-focus and re-energize.
I love how yoga separates me from the busy society that typically surrounds all of us on a day-to-day basis. The mind-body connection is by far my favorite thing to study and just like yoga it takes a lot of practice for yoga, mindfulness and a healthy lifestyle to become apart of our lives.
I am on my own mind-body journey right now and love to write about it on my own blog every day (http://healthy-desires.com/) ! Thank you for all of your inspiring posts. You have helped me get started on this amazing journey!
Yoga is my ‘yin’ to my running ‘yang’. I love yoga because it allows me to run virtually injury free : )
The way it makes me feel strong and flexible and relaxed all at the same time, it’s a completely different experience than the reguar day at the gym
I love that yoga makes me feel so flexible, strong and relaxed!
savasana! i feel like it’s one of my only true relaxing times.
I love how it help relieves back and muscle pain! After a week of strength training combined with sitting at a desk most of the day at work, yoga is my Friday treat that I look forward to every week!
I love using yoga to clear my mind and shake out my muscles.
De-stressing:)
I love how yoga grounds me from stress and makes me feel strong
I love that yoga leaves me feeling relaxed and energized!
Yoga is an awesome compliment to strength training and cardio. It’s also a fun challenge! It makes me feel like a kid in gymnastics class again! 🙂
I love yoga for its mind and body benefits. It’s extremely calming and let’s me get in a workout while keeping my autoimmune disease calm.
Yoga has given me so much strength during a difficult time in my life. Not just physical strength, but emotional. I could not imagine my life without yoga.
What I love most about yoga is the constant challenge – always a new pose to work on, a new area to stretch, a way to get stronger.
Stretching!!! More often than not, my legs are tight from running. Yoga helps me loosen them up.
I love how it relaxes my body and calms my mind!
I love the variety of styles and instructors. I never know what to expect when beginning a class. I do at least know that I will be happy and relaxed after 🙂
I love how yoga relaxes me!
I love how flexible I feel after!
I love how power yoga makes me sweat like crazy and gets all my toxins out, please it’s a crazy good workout!
I love yoga. Period.
I love the way it makes me feel when I am finished. It’s this balance between feeling like you’ve done something physical and challenging, and mentally calm and serene. I would LOVE to go to Wanderlust, it looks amazing!
I love that yoga helps me relax and calm my mind. Also gets me focused on deep breathing which helps in stressful times 🙂 Outdoor yoga is even better you get to take in the scenery as well!
I love the way it makes me feel when I’m done!
I love the way yoga gives me an escape!!!!
I love how relaxing yoga is!!! I especially love yoga sculpt!! There’s nothing better then sweating everything out!!
What I love most about yoga is how great I feel after really stretching and challenging my muscles. For me yoga is a mind AND body challenge so I feel really accomplished after.
I love the way yoga centers me. I used to not be a fan (I thought yoga didn’t give me a good enough workout–too Type A!), but a friend reintroduced me to it and I have a newfound appreciation for yoga’s mental and mood-improving benefits 🙂
I love how yoga challenges me to not only put my body into positions it’s not used to, but also focus on my breathing. It’s amazing what breathing correctly can do for your body!
I love how it gets the gas out! Lol
That even though I am not good at it I feel relaxed
And very positive just by doing it
I’m actually a newbie to yoga, just started recently, but I love how it helps with my flexbility (not very flexible here) and I also love how it relaxes my body and mind (very needed with my busy schedule!)
i love how yoga challenges me!
This is an awesome giveaway! I love how mindful yoga has made me – it helps my take my stress levels down a notch. And it’s good for the booty 🙂
How relaxed I feel afterwards.
The thing I love most about yoga is how it allows me to decompress!
I absolutely love how relaxed and rejuvenated yoga makes me feel!
I love how yoga makes me feel at peace with the world and encourages me to be healthier and a brighter person. I love the time to reflect and setting an intention really allows me to give myself me time and send love to others.
How relaxed you fell after!
Being more relaxed, not just physically but emotionally also. Instead (or after) running all my emotions out it helps me take time to stretch, focus on God and His temple He created within me. Also of course is watching myself become more flexible and able to do more as I progress. I would love to join you, either way though have tons of fun and good luck to everyone!
I love how you can feel simultaneously strong and weak in a single pose (I’m looking at you, Warrior 2). And I love how it doesn’t get easier, but you become able to get deeper into poses – it’s great because you’re never “done” (and definitely never bored).
I love yoga! I have been practicing pretty consistently for over a year now and I think it is sooo great for cross-training and stretching out muscles that get so tense when do other activities like running.
Yoga fuels me and so does Kashi every morning!
I love how yoga leaves me feeling centered, while also providing a strength workout. I went to my first Wanderlust Fest in Austin, TX last year just for a day, and it was AWESOME!
I would love to meet you in Vermont!
I love the nice, quiet, stretchy me time.
At 37 weeks pregnant, yoga has kept my weight gain down and has given me peace of mind.
