Yogis, dancers, musicians, wanderers, hoopers and lovers of all stripes are welcome at the summer Wanderlust festivals. We’ll be there– will you?
Wanderlust Festivals happen around the world, offering yoga, music, dancing, and days of fun in stunning locations. This summer we have Aspen/Snowmass and Squaw Valley (Tahoe). We got to spend four nights in gorgeous Squaw Valley last summer and were totally in awe of the natural beauty, expanse of events, and general good vibes.

Do some YOGA: This year’s lineup includes yoga superstars: Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Dharma Mittra, Gurmukh, Eoin Finn, MC Yogi and more
Listen to some MUSIC – Wanderlust is as much a music festival as a yoga festival, and one of the things I loved most about Squaw last year was the ongoing music at all times of the day. This year you can jam with Yeasayer, reggae great Stephen Marley, the electronica/world fusion sound of Beats Antique as well as Magic Giant, Son Little, Kaminanda, Kevin Paris, Masood Ali Kahn and the sweet beats of DJ Tasha Blank, DJ Drez, DJ Sol Rising.
Relax deeply with MEDITATION –Relax and get centered with meditation classes from renowned teachers such as Noah Levine, Sianna Sherman, Julie Rader Wellan, Shakti Sunfire and more. Last year I took my very first meditation class at Squaw, and wrote all about it here.
Revel in NATURE – Squaw Valley is a wintertime ski resort high in the mountains overlooking Lake Tahoe. This incredible setting, along with mid-summer weather, made for a truly gorgeous event. We opted to camp at High Camp, a 2,000 foot cable-car climb that afforded unparalleled stargazing, incredible views, and a deep connection with the quiet side of the festival. The festival offers tons of non-yoga based activities like stand up paddleboarding, explorative hikes and adventure runs to kayaking, outdoor meditations, photo treks and more.
Expand your MIND– You guys, Jason Wrobel is going to be there and I’m going to try my hardest not to get all fan-girl on him. There are tons of other speakers too: Jeffrey Hollender, co-founder of Seventh Generation will discuss sustainable business and corporate responsibility and Lauren Singer who will discuss practical ways to create near zero waste, among others.
