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 everything about yoga! It has completely transformed my life, both physically and emotionally.
I love how renewed and refreshed I feel after because I have pulled all the toxins from my body and mind.
Yoga has definitely helped me with my flexibility. It’s now also become a great way to force myself to take a break and relax when I’m super stressed from work.
I love that I’ve convinced myself chaturanga counts as a push-up!
I love how yoga is “me” time. It is hard to let your mind wander when you are so focused on breathing or not falling out of your handstand. It is time I give to me during the day to completely disconnect and do something that is good for the mind, body and soul.
although I don’t practice yoga regularly – it helps loosen me up from any of the activities I’ve done that week from work, running to lifting!
I love yoga because it is challenging and freeing!
Your body always learns something new and at the end of a practice you feel like you have accomplished so much!
I love yoga most for how it destresses me instantly and makes me more in tune with my body and mind.
I like the fact that yoga provides stretching and strengthening at the exact same time!
I love how yoga has my running!
I hope it isn’t too late to enter! But, I love the way that when I’m in yoga, it’s just me and my mat. I can really unplug from the day and all that’s going on, and it is just so refreshing!
I actually haven’t had the chance to try yoga yet!! 🙁
I love yoga for stretching out my tight muscles and helping me to let go of all the little stresses that accumulate throughout the day!
i can’t believe you posted about this — i was considering going and two of my best girlfriends are going next wknd to the one at Stratton! that’s only about an hour from where i grew up. ahhhh looks like such an amazing time and i’d loooove to be able to go…
i just started yoga recently and as an avid runner, it’s such a refreshing way to stretch and get better in tune with your body. really enjoy it.
well I’ve never actually done yoga – always been to embarrassed to join a class since my balance is the WORST. Pretty sure I would be falling all over the place. Maybe I need to get a tape and try it in the privacy of my house?
My favorite thing about yoga is how it centers my mind & allows me to become more flexible. It challenges me in a different way than most other forms of exercise..
i love yoga for being the perfect counterpart to racing.
This sounds so amazing! I love that yoga strengthens my body and my mind…it always challenges me!
I love how it’s challenging and a perfect compliment to all types of exercise!
I love how it helps me stretch and indirectly helps my digestion issues by decreasing inner stress!
I love how it quiets my mind and gives me inner peace!
yoga=calm
I love how wonderful yoga helps with post workout recovery! I feel so much less sore and much more flexible after doing yoga, post workout!
The ability to refocus on myself!!
yoga is challenging for me because i find my mind is all over the place. however, once i get into a rhythm, the ability to quiet my mind has a positive ripple effect through all aspects of my life!
the peace!
I teach Zumba 4 times a week and it’s a great workout with lots of cardio, so what I love most about YOGA is that it gives me a chance to slow down, breathe, and realign my body. I think it’s also just good for the spirit! 🙂
I love how yoga calms me after a long day at the office.
I fell in love with yoga two years ago.
It has helped me be more aware of caring for my body and calming me through stressful times!!
In addition, it’s a kick butt workout!
I have always wanted to go to a yoga retreat. The one in Vermont looks amazing!!
I get such a great stretch from yoga and love doing it the day after my long runs!
I love the way yoga can be both relaxing and invigorating to the body!
I love how yoga is so flexible, in the sense that anyone can do yoga no matter their age
I love that yoga is all about improving YOUR own practice – not worrying about whoever else is in the room!
wow! what a great experience. I have had lower back pain for a long time and have found that yoga is one of the few things that makes me feel stronger and make my pain go away. I live in upstate NY and would LOVE to be able to attend.
OMG ! Tremblant is so close to home, I want to go!! Its my sister-in-law bachelorette party that weekend, we could do that!!!
Just started practicing Yoga last month, it helps with my flexibility!
I haven’t done tons of yoga, but when I have, I like how it is a good balance of flexibility, strength, and balance. It’s a great complimentary exercise to every day strength and aerobic training.
I love the way I feel after yoga. So relaxed and my muscles feel loose and happy!!
I love the strength and awareness that a regular yoga practice brings!
What I love most about yoga is being able to engage my body while still relaxing. Some of my more cardio intensive work outs leave me feeling stiff so I love being able to practice yoga to loosen up my body while also clearly my mind.
Among all the stress-relieving and body-healing benefits I love so much about yoga, I love the way yoga keeps my mom and I connected while I’m away at college. We always talk about our latest feats, – like when I finally mastered headstand! – our favorite instructors, new classes, the latest Yoga Journal, and our dream to go on a yoga retreat! It’s the perfect way for us to stay close even when we’re hundreds of miles apart.
I love the awesome stretch that my muscles get!
I love feeling my muscles loosen and my body relaxing
I love how it loosens my hips (as a runner, they are always tight).
Hi Julie! I’m actually a newbie to yoga and just started in the beginning of this year. The feeling after each class is almost indescribable, but I’m going to try 🙂 I feel stronger, relaxed and sweaty from a great work out all at the same time. It’s the only work out that I actually look forward to doing!
I love yoga because it helps my poor hips and hamstrings that get beat up running 🙂
I love how it helps me center myself and stretch out all the kinks!
I love the way it instantly relaxes me, relieving stress and the tension in my muscles.
I love the community of my yoga studio. It was the first place that gave me a sense of belonging after moving last year.
I love how I feel after a good yoga class – relaxed and tired in the best way!
What I love most about yoga is the freedom I feel to just let go on my mat and the body confidence I’ve gained from my practice!
