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 that yoga is an hour of peace and quiet and it doesn’t matter how good I am! I wish I was more flexible but that’s kind of what yoga is for 🙂
I am actually the WORST when it comes to yoga, so what I love about it is challenging the limits of my flexibility and muscles!
The quiet!
I love yoga for running recovery… Such a great way to stretch out the day after a long run!
The thing I love most about yoga is how calm it makes me. My days are always go,go,go, but when i do yoga, my whole day stops and I feel like I can actually take a deep breath!
i love that yoga reminds me to take time for myself to just breathe and relax. i find myself tense and stressed most work days and forget that i need time to just enjoy a little bit of relaxation!
Yoga is like no other workout! It helps with flexibility, strength, and balance– What more could you want?
I love yoga because it is super relaxing and a great workout!
I love that I feel taller after yoga for some reason! 🙂
I love that no matter how seemingly crazy life can be, whether with work, friends, family, or my crazy English Bulldog, practicing yoga gives me 30-60 minutes of time to be at peace and focus on being calm and happy!
I love the feeling of tranquility when doing yoga!
I love the opportunity yoga gives me to “leave it all on the mat.” No matter what is happening in my day, yoga cleanses and rejuvenated my mind, body, and spirit.
It’s hard to pick the thing I like most, because there are so many benefits. As a runner, I crave a hip flexor stretch and always feel so much better when I finish a yoga session. I love the relaxing and the non-competitve aspect of just you and your mat, being better than you were yesterday. The very best part might be the cold lavendar scented towel when you finish!
I love how when im not sure what kind of workout I want I can do yoga and it always feels just right. I love how during a class I can feel relaxed and challenged at the same time. And I love how great I sleep after doing yoga!
I love how yoga makes me feel simultaneously energized and at peace with the world!
I took a lot of yoga classes well training for the Boston Marathon this spring. It felt so good to get a good stretch in after those long runs!
WOW! What a fantastic giveaway! My favorite thing about Yoga is how challenging it can be without the typical “dripping with sweat” workout. I love leaving a class and feeling taller, thinner, more aware of my muscles and body. It’s definitely a workout everyone should do weekly (if not daily!).
I love that it always helps me unwind and refocus my stress
I have never tried yoga before, but I would absolutely love to! What better way to start off yoga than a trip to this wonderful event! Although I do not currently do yoga, I know it would be incredible for my body. I am determined to try it one day.
Yoga allows me to find some calmness in the crazy, busy world and make some time for just me!
I love how sneaky yoga is in completely changing the way you feel. You aren’t even aware of the work you’re doing at the time so much but then at the end it’s unbelievable how much better you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s so powerful
The feeling I have after a class, energized & ready to take on the world!
I love how yoga makes me in tune with the movement of my body!
I love that yoga provides a chance for my mind to free-up… On a side note: I just learned that local paddleboard yoga classes are offered and am really excited to try those this summer!
I love how in touch it makes me feel with my body and its needs!
I LOVE how yoga makes me feel ALIVE. Yoga allows me to put things in perspective and reminds me to remain true to myself. Yoga makes me feel UNSTOPPABLE.
I love how yoga makes me appreciate my body and what it is capable of 🙂
I love how light and relaxed I feel after yoga!
What I love most about yoga and the refreshing, relaxed feeling I get after a class. I don’t go yoga often but I NEED to since I don’t stretch nearly enough after my workouts. I love how long and lean most ‘yogis’ and feel so inspired by them. This festival sounds amazing!!!!
I love that it stretches every part of your body, and that I can always leave class feeling much more calm than when I walked in. I don’t do it too frequently (I am more of a cardio + strength girl), but when I do take class I always remember why I need to go more often!
Ah! That sounds fantastic! I love how yoga makes me feel like I’m working harder without looking too bad 😛
I love that yoga teaches us to focus on breathing. That helps me so much when I’m doing anything that requires relaxing into the move or focusing on breathing to get through the exercise.
I love the mindfulness aspects of yoga- I’ve tried to practice mindfulness in other ways but I find that the poses give me an anchor and I love that my body also feels fantastic afterward!
I love how yoga makes me feel so calm and relaxed. It’s like a break from the world.
Love how it makes me feel relaxed!!
What a fun concept! I love how yoga really challenges my flexibility, something I’m always needed to work on. I also love it’s calming and peaceful affect on my busy life.
UM yes!!! This sounds amazing. Yoga has been my outlet for the past year now. I recently had some injuries with my knee, so I can no longer run as much. I have to say, I might love yoga more than running 😀
I love the lengthing it provides my body. I have some back issues at times and when I’m consistently doing yoga, I notice an overall improvement in my spine function and the feeling in my back.
I’m still learning the practice, and I love the feeling of challenging my body to do things I never thought possible.
Yoga makes my runners hi pe feel much better!
The thing I love the most about yoga is the sense of calmness I get while I am practicing!
I love how calm and relaxed I feel after a yoga session!!
Yoga is soooo relaxing and helps me dig into my fascia in between my muscles, it’s the best way to stretch and get in tune with your body and mind!
I love how yoga takes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to focus on different breathing and stretching techniques I don’t always use with strength training. It always leaves me wanting to come back for more!
I love how at ease and relaxed I feel after
I tend to be a worrier that over-thinks everything, so I love that when I practice yoga I am able to clear my mind and not think about ANYTHING!
This sounds so fun! I love Yoga because it is a way to relax while still doing something active.
I love how a good yoga session loosens up my stiffness the day after a long run. Hurts so good!
I love that Yoga is a personal experience. There is no judgment if you are not as flexible as the person next to you. Everyone is just there to practice.
I LOVE how relaxed and flexible I feel after a yoga session! I am just getting into yoga, but I have never felt so jello-y as I do at the end of a good class!
