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 yoga because it helps to not only stretch my muscles (as a runner it’s crucial!) but it also helps to strengthen my core!
I loved using yoga for cross training days while I trained for my first half marathon last year. I also think it really helped with my lung capacity.
It clears my mind and stretches my muscles!
I love yoga because it makes both my mind and body stronger for whatever life throws my way!
I love doing yoga first thing in the morning because it is a great way to rejuvenate the mind and body. When I am done, my body is stretched, mind is clear, and I’m ready to take on the day.
I love how yoga instantly de-stresses me!
Omg-my brother is actually working at this festival-I would love to win this! I love that yoga leaves me feeling centered and balanced-with a workout as a bonus! And I certainly need the stretching too!
I love how yoga makes me feel so relaxed and my muscles feel so much better afterward.
The streetccchhhh feeling is my favorite part of yoga. I was not convinced I’d ever like yoga until one day I tried it after I had been on a major running/elliptical binge and it felt SO refreshing.
I love how yoga has given me back flexibility and strength in my one leg. I was in an accident and brook my pelvis and ever since then I’ve had a problem but with yoga I have been able to get a lot of it back and I also love how it calms and centers me.
I love the feeling of stretching out my body. So much of our days include sitting and feeling crunched up and I feel like yoga really allows us to stretch all of that out!
I like yoga because it helps me release all tensions and focus on me.
I love how my muscles loosen up and by the end of a class I can touch my hands to the floor unlike at the beginning of a class!
I love how completely relaxed and happy you feel when you’re done!
I love that yoga gives me time to zone out from the to-do lists, emails, schedules and other stuff constantly over-running my mind. I get a chance to breathe, stretch, sweat, and enjoy the moment!
I love that yoga gives me time to be still – I always leave feeling empowered and capable.
I fell in love with yoga deeply about a year ago and what I love most about the practice it how positive it makes me feel about myself, my life, and my body.
i love how yoga relaxes me. it gives me a break from a stressful day and gives me time to myself to destress.
I love that yoga forces me to be in the present, to be mindful, and to connect with my body. Yoga centers me and calms me in ways that running just can’t! Love it.
I love the stretch that yoga provides and I often ignore amongst the miles I run!
I love the way I feel afterwards. So relaxed and so much more energy!
I love all of the backbends and twists, I always leave feeling like I just got a massage!
I love that yoga helps athletes prevent injury! I also love the clothes 🙂
I enjoy yoga because it challenges me every time and I can see the strength my body has given me.
Yoga has given me the courage to take risks in my life outside of my practice I never otherwise would have.
I love how easily it de-stresses me. One class after a stressful day is all I need to ‘reset’ and remember what is really important.
I love the way yoga forces me to slow down and relax. The rest of the time, I am always running around and doing things, but yoga makes me take a deep breath and gives a great time for reflection!
Awesome event to attend – have fun! I think what I love most about yoga is that it takes me out of my head. I tend to struggle in my little thought world and when I start to move my body with control and attention I begin to notice that I have an arm, and a leg, and that I can control these movements and appendages, aligning them with my breath. It reminds me how much strength and power I have when I let go of my mind – I just need to get out of my head!
I love how yoga forces me to stretch my body in ways I would never do on my own.
I LOVE yoga because it helped me tremendously through hard family times last year allowing me to calm down and free my mind. Not only that, it has helped me with my flexibility.
The thing I love most about yoga is the feeling of being able to step out of the hustle and bustle of life for a moment to really focus on my mind and body and the amazing things that they can do! I have always wanted to do a trip like this…it is totally up my alley!
I love how yoga makes me feel so calm, inspired, and stretchy! It improves for the rest of the day!
Yoga gives my body and mind and active rejuvenation, it’s like a thank you to my muscles for getting me through the long hospital days as a nurse and then all my runs.
sounds like a fun trip!
i love yoga because it gives me a great workout!
I love that yoga teaches me to pause and reflect and most importantly.. to slow down
What do I love most about yoga? That’s easy….it’s my class! All female, caring, led by the most remarkable yogi, Jan. She brings the most wonderful readings to class–somehow, her choices are just what I need. We meet twice weekly, on Monday evening and Friday mornings–perfect bookends.
What a fun giveaway! I love how I FEEL after yoga. Relaxed and detoxed. 🙂
I am a runner so I love how yoga stretches out my tight muscles!
I love high energy workouts, but I love yoga because it centers me and reminds me that you don’t always have to move a mile a minute to get a good work out
I love how I always feel better after class than before! Even if I’m not in the mood for a class, no matter what, I always leave feeling better than I felt before!
I love how all my problems melt away while doing yoga.
I currently have an addiction to Power Yoga… its hot (literally) and my favorite part about it is the way I feel AFTER. I’m sweating to the max, my muscles have been gratefully stretched, and I feel refreshed. This trip looks awesome!
I love the relaxation that yoga provides. Don’t get me wrong who doesn’t love a little extra muscle toning!? For me the calm that yoga brings to my normally hectic life is priceless!
I love how it makes me feel stronger and I get a good stretch in at the same time!
My normal workout routine involves pretty rigorous training for triathlons and marathons, and yoga is my favorite way to help my body unwind and recover. However, I’d have to say the best part of yoga is that it is also a workout for my mind 🙂 I love actively focusing on breathing and clearing my head of any negative thoughts/stress. I always feel so refreshed after a great yoga session!
I love how it makes me feel. I usually do it on rest days or after long runs as part of my stretching routine. Whenever I do it, my mind and body feel so refreshed and rejuvenated!
I love how strong and rejuvenated it makes me feel.
I love how it relaxes me. I feel rejuvenated afterward!
I love to mentally picture a rubber band inside each muscle that is stretching during yoga… it feels so good and I love that I walk away feeling at least 2 inches taller and 10 times more relaxed!!
I like the serenity and extreme relaxation of yoga. My days are filled with chaos – good chaos of course and an hour of yoga provides a quick and much needed escape from a draining, yet successful workday. At my age (44) it’s important to leave the office stuff at the office and enjoy my evenings of relaxation and gearing up for what the next day brings! LOVE LOVE LOVE everything Kashi!!!
