Wanderlust 2011: Unique Music & Yoga Festival Returns to Squaw Valley USA

The third annual Wanderlust Festival returns to the stunning peaks of Squaw Valley USA in Lake Tahoe, CA July 28 through July 31, 2011. This four-day yoga and music experience is a feast for the body and the senses, juxtaposing a robust schedule of classes, mediations and wellness lectures with musical beats from the likes of Michael Franti and Spearhead and Girl Talk. Complementing this year’s retreat is a variety of culinary experiences, allowing guests to savor in local and organic food and wine offerings.

Wanderlust showcases a range of teachers, classes and styles that will inspire and challenge all practitioners, from the curious beginner to longtime students. This one-of-a-kind festival has gathered the nation’s top yoga teachers and experts to lead a full schedule of exciting classes and creative workshops around the clock, inviting attendees to revel and relax in the breath-taking Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe views. From classic presenters like John Friend, Seane Corn, and Shiva Rea, to exciting new faces like Maty Ezraty and Noah Maze – the festival has left no mat unturned to bring the best that yoga has to offer.

As the sun sets against Squaw’s KT-22 and Granite Chief peak, Wanderlust’s main stage will host the positive vibrations of Michael Franti and Spearhead, the electronic dance-party mashups of Girl Talk, and the ecstatic chants of Jai Uttal. There will also be a wide host of food and beverage vendors, art instillations, ambient performances and lounges.

“We’re excited to bring Wanderlust back to North Lake Tahoe for the third year in a row,” said festival co-founder Jeff Krasno. “Not only is Squaw Valley an extraordinary setting -- it has a community that supports the underlying ideals of the event. We have a beautiful canvas to bring to life our values of yoga, music and nature."

Truly a delight for all senses, Wanderlust also brings a host of culinary treats to Squaw Valley.
