#Practicing Wonder At Wanderlust

Wanderlust Yoga & Music Festival - a one-of-a-kind festival bringing together the world's best yoga teachers and best performers in rock & roll, all in a setting of breathtaking natural beauty. It is a place to relax, unwind, bend, dance, revel, and contemplate. It’s a community of like-minded people who share a common set of interests and values. It’s a chance to escape the mundane and dwell in the extraordinary. And this year at Wanderlust, Manduka brought the unexpected to festival-goers.

Hoping to inspire creative expression in an astonishing way, Manduka activated something special to help Wanderlusters take their #practice off the mat – an aerial rig! While resting between yoga classes, crowds watched in awe as professionals from the Kinetic Arts Center in Oakland, CA showed first-timers the ropes (quite literally). As Wanderlusters climbed, learned mind-bending stunts on silks, and hung hands-free from the trapeze – everyone realized the significance of trying something they’ve never done and pushing yourself to go further – not just on an aerial rig. Manduka hoped to motivate the yoga community with the idea that their #practice can inspire progress in all facets of life. And, that #practicing yoga doesn’t only happen on the mat, it can happen anywhere – even 30 feet in the air.
