Whether you are first-timers or seasoned yogis, be prepared! Because this year, the Wanderlust Yoga Festival will be started on 20 June 2019, and will last for many months on many different cities. So, are you ready?

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophical traditions. There is a broad variety of yoga schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. A yogi is a practitioner of yoga. The feminine form, sometimes used in English, is yogini.

The term “yoga” in the Western world often denotes a modern form of Hatha yoga, consisting largely of the postures called asanas, a body posture, originally a sitting pose for meditation, and later in hatha yoga and modern yoga, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses to the meditation seats. This modern yoga became popular in the 1980s. On 1 December 2016, yoga was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.

The Wanderlust Festival is an annual yoga summer festival first held in Squaw Valley, California, in July 2009. The event, announced in May 2009, featured a musical lineup featuring Michael Franti, Spoon, Broken Social Scene, and Girl Talk, and featured a yogi lineup including John Friend, Shiva Rea, Schuyler Grant, Elena Brower, Christy Nones and Annie Carpenter. Wanderlust has grown from the first festival in Squaw Valley to 7 festivals in the United States and Canada in 2015.

In 2019, the Wanderlust Festival will be launched on major cities across the US. The theme of 2019 Wanderlust Festival is Find Your True North. It will consist of many events, such as the Festivals, where teachers, experts, musicians and creators gather in stunning resorts for transformational experiences. 108 events, a triathlon of running, yoga, and meditation in the world’s most beautiful city parks.
