New Yoga Ticket Added to Wanderlust Festival

Festival also introduces outdoor rock-n-yoga classes taught by John Friend and Shiva Rea

For those looking forward to their weekend at Wanderlust, the festival just got even better.  With the additions of a new ticket option and two new free classes, there is even more action to schedule during the three-day event, happening July 24-26 at Squaw Valley USA in North Lake Tahoe.

Bringing together the world’s leading yoga teachers and a top-tier music line-up, Wanderlust boasts two days of music with Michael Franti & Spearhead, Spoon, Andrew Bird, Jenny Lewis, Gillian Welch, Broken Social Scene, Girl Talk, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings and more, all from a stage perched atop the Sierra Nevadas.  Yoga enthusiasts can take classes taught by renowned instructors Shiva Rea, John Friend, and others from the Bay Area, New York City, and beyond.

The new ticket option, called Pilgrim, will extend the Seeker Saturday/Sunday music + yoga experience to include a day of VIP-level yoga on Friday.  For those looking to practice in an intimate setting with the likes of John Friend and Shiva Rea without purchasing the full-blown VIP Sage pass, this ticket is the answer. The Pilgrim ticket will be available Tuesday, June 9, priced at $164.50.  It can be used in combination with a previously purchased Seeker ticket, or on its own as a one-day yoga retreat.  More ticket options and information is available in the Tickets section at www.wanderlustfestival.com.

By popular demand, Wanderlust has also added two large outdoor classes that bridge the music and yoga experience at Wanderlust.  John Friend will lead a devotionally rocking class accompanied by fantastic live music with Jai Uttal, and Shiva Rea will team up with Michael Franti to teach On Fiyah: Energetic Vinyasa for All Rebel Rockers.  Located at the festival’s Globetrotter Stage in the Village, this venue has space for up to 1,000 people and is a great opportunity to have a mass communal yoga experience.  Both classes are free to all music + yoga ticketholders and will not count toward each day’s class maximum.

Also added to the Seeker yoga schedule are two Anusara classes.  Rock Your Heart Out is a tandem taught by Elena Brower of New York City and Christina Nones of Miami. This class will emphasize backbends, arm balances, hip openers, and forward bends, and will be paired with the haunting layered strings of Garth Stevenson.  The second, titled Got Soul: Arm Balances and Backbends is a tandem taught by Sianna Sherman and Kenny Graham with MC Yogi providing music for the journey.

Wanderlust is produced by Velour Music Group, in conjunction with C3 Presents (Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival) and Starr Hill Presents (Bonnaroo, Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival).
