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!

Since the majority of my workouts consist of running and lifting, yoga is something that allows me to stretch and relax my muscles. By no means do I think yoga is “easy,” but rather just something that strengthens different muscles.
My favorite thing about yoga is that there are always changed I can make to ensure my workout is fresh and challenging!
I love how yoga calms me down and helps me find my inner peace. I also love the challenge!
I love that it gives me a time in the day to have peace and quiet and do something for myself. 🙂
Yoga makes me feel flexible, strong and free!
Thanks to you, Wanderlust and Kashi for the giveaway 🙂
While I’ve only tried yoga a couple times, it did wonders! I’m notoriously bad at stretching so having a full set time to dedicate to stretching and flexibilty always helps!
Awesome giveaway! I love the way it’s me time I never feel guilty about taking!
I love the peaceful feeling that yoga brings me.
What I love most about yoga is how relaxed it makes me feel!
Just love how it makes me feel – relaxed, refreshed, and ready to tackle anything that comes my way!
I love how the time spent on my yoga mat is when my mind is the least cluttered. Some of my yoga instructors call it a moving meditation, and it really feels that way.
I love the way yoga loosens me up and centers me!
I love gaining flexibility!
I love they way my yoga practice benefits ALL areas of my life – improves my alignment and flexibility for CrossFit, and centers my mind after a busy day at the office!
My favorite part about yoga is how it forces me to slow down. In a world where we’re constantly going, it’s always refreshing when you stop, breathe, and just enjoy the moment. Plus, gaining flexibility and zoning out while focusing on your breathing doesn’t hurt either! Healthy minds for the win!
I love how yoga helps my running. I always try to do an hour long yoga session the day before a long run. Yoga prepares me mentally and physically for running long distance.
Not sure if you’ve picked a winner yet – but this looks absolutely amazing! What a great festival concept. I need to seriously amp up my yoga practice, but I love doing it in the mornings. It sets up my day to be flowing with energy, and my body feels amazing after a bit of post-sleep stretching.
I always leave yoga a hundred times more relaxed than I entered, with my anxiety lessened, and a new appreciation for the abilities of my body. It’s getting into positions you’ve never tried and feeling confident in your physical ability to hold, stretch and grow.
I saw this festival advertised at my local yoga studio and was immediately intrigued! I’d love the opportunity to experience this event. (a big fan of Kashi, too!)
I love how much better I feel when I incorporate yoga into my running schedule.
Yoga is usually my me time. The time I get to also something just for me and no one else. I love it. It is so relaxing and yet still feels challenging for me (miss lack of flexibility right here
I love the focus I experience during yoga and how my body feels after a great yoga sesh!
I love the deep stretching yoga helps me do and the calming effect it has on me 🙂
I love the clarity a consistent yoga practice gives me, on and off the mat. My mind feels so much more at ease! DYING to go to Wanderlust.
I love how it makes my body feel – it’s a yawn for my body.
I love being able to relax and have the time to meditate during yoga!
The thing I love most about yoga is the way my body feels after a class. Stretched and happy and ready to take on the day.
AHHH i’m going to Stratton Wanderlust!! I’m doing the 3 day pass, and would love to run into you in a class, which ones have you picked?
New reader here 🙂 I love that feeling of having a quiet and calm brain during yoga.
i love that yoga is so relaxing! it’s a nice break from my strength workouts!
I love how relaxed and restored it makes me feel!
I love how yoga stretches out my sore muscles from all my other workouts, and helps me unwind after a hectic day.
I love the workout you get without even noticing! I’ve already got a couple challenges under my belt.. can’t stop
Yoga is so beautiful and lets me escape this world to find inner peace and comfort. So much love!
my favorite part about yoga is how it forces me to clear my mind of all my to-do lists and just relax!
I love how yoga reminds me that my fitness can always improve- even though I run 15 miles a week!
I love the moment of quietness that yoga provides for me.
I love the way I feel after yoga is over. I don’t do it enough!
Yoga makes me feel strong and stretched! I feel so good when I do it!
I love the way I feel afterwards. So relaxed and stretched out!
It clears my mind!
Yoga is a great escape from my busy work schedule; like most of the other commenters, I love how relaxed I feel afterward.
I used to practice yoga every day and it helped me lose 10 lbs. It made me present in the moment and very aware of my body and how it felt, both during the practice and afterward. I kind of fell out of it but recently committed to going to my gym’s Tuesday night class because I know how good it is for me and how centered I feel when I practice.
I love that yoga makes me slow down!
I love the entire culture of yoga. Yoga allows me to be unashamed in who I am and what my body is capable of, while challenging myself at the same time. Most of all, I love how relaxed and rejuvenated I feel after a good yoga session! My favorite part is at the end where you can just lay, breathe, and quiet your mind <3 My favorite Kashi bar would have to be the the pumpkin flax bar- a must try for the fall season!!
I feel like the human body was MADE for yoga! lol. When I do yoga, I feel like I’m able to use my body to it’s fullest potential. I practiced it during the whole 9 months that I was pregnant with my son; I had the smoothest birth that I could have ever imagined. Namaste!
It helps keep things in perspective for me. As someone with a busy job that can sometimes feel overwhelming its nice to take a moment for myself and reflect on what’s important in life.
My favorite part of yoga is how mentally refreshed and at peace I feel when I leave class. While I generally prefer a good sweat session, nothing else produces that same feeling!
I love yoga for how it helps improve my horrible flexibility!
Yoga is an escape. Seventy-Five minutes a few times a week, that allows me to be clear minded, free spirited and just me. There isn’t a hint of technology or distractions, just the focus of mind and body awareness. I love how I feel once I enter the studio and the same feeling as I leave.
