Publisher Description
Like the wildly popular festivals that have taken the yoga world by storm, Wanderlust is a road map for the millions of people engaged in cultivating their best selves. For the 20 million people who grab their yoga mats in the United States every week, this book gives a completely unique way to understand "yoga"—not just as something to do in practice, but as a broader principle for living. Wanderlust helps readers navigate their personal path and find their own true north, curating principles that embody the brand and lifestyle—authentic yoga practices, provocative thinking, music, art, good food, eco-friendly activities, and more.
Each chapter includes expert yoga instruction by renowned teachers; inspiring music playlists to motivate readers to practice; thought-provoking art; awesome recipes for delicious, healthy foods to sustain a yoga regimen; and fun, unexpected detours. This wide array of ideas and beautiful visuals is designed to be hyper-stimulating—whether a reader follows the arc of the book from beginning to end or dips into chapters at random, she is sure to find something pleasing to the eye, to feel motivated to practice, and to want to reach for her deepest desires and dreams. This book brings the Wanderlust festival experience into any reader's home.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wanderlust Festivals cofounder Krasno presents a companion volume to the festivals, a series of large-scale lifestyle retreats that combine yoga and wellness with the arts. To clarify the philosophy behind the events, Krasno defines the word "wanderlust" as meaning more than just the desire to travel, but extending to an intense "yearning to explore and understand the world" and "longing to know and actualize our true and best self." The well-known teachers, experts, artists, and business leaders who teach and perform at the festivals also provide the book's contents: among them are musicians Moby, Krishna Das, and MC Yogi; Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa from Golden Bridge Yoga; Hormone Diet author Sara Gottfried; pioneer vinyasa teacher Rolf Gates, trance-dance yogini Shiva Rea; Insight Meditation Society cofounder Sharon Salzberg; and Ohio congressman Tim Ryan. A reader can, in effect, experience the festival's essence through the book, which includes yoga routines, meditation guidance, blank pages for guided journaling and drawing, and recipes for conscious eating. The richly illustrated volume is a souvenir, a sampler of yoga lifestyle activities, and, perhaps, a vicarious trip for those who have yet to go in search of their own "true north."
