Last weekend, Marianne and I went to Wanderlust Vermont 2012 and had an incredible few days of yoga, music and going out of our comfort zone. You can purchase a 4, 3, 2 or 1 day pass which includes 3 activities and the evening concerts. The tickets aren’t inexpensive but well worth a weekend retreat away.

Yoga goes from beginner (of which there are many classes) to teaching level advanced.  Besides the yoga there were classes in hula hooping, slack line yoga or like we did, burlesque dance. Talk about comfort zone! The Gypsy Layne Burlesque dancers put us through series of steps that left us sweating and laughing.

Slack line yoga

So much fun! Each teacher had a story about their passion which gave us a personal connection along with the unbelievable workout.  We took two yoga classes with Rolf Gates who helped us through the poses with his soft but inspiring talk.

Ziggy Marley, Farm to Table dinners, street performances and food truck vendors including my favorite Ben and Jerry’s giving away free frozen yogurt makes this a bucket list item! Wanderlust has festivals throughout the summer in Colorado, California and Whistler this year.  Treat yourself and get out of that comfort zone!  Thanks to Ali for being our model yogi!
