Wanderlust, the fast-growing evolutionary yoga lifestyle brand, will kick-off of its 4th annual Wanderlust Yoga in the City (YITC) series in Santa Monica this Saturday, May 10.

This free seaside event invites locals to hit the mat with local, renowned teachers, jam out with community favorite DJ Drez, replenish with healthy samplings, and connect with other wellness enthusiasts in one of Southern California’s most iconic backdrops.

The 2014 Wanderlust Yoga in the City Los Angeles will offer three unforgettable yoga sessions.

Wanderlust co-founder Jeff Krasno said Santa Monica was synonymous with a community of healthy, mindful people- offering everything from surfing to biking to year-round outdoor living.

“It is the perfect location for us to effortlessly bring our mountainside festival vibe down to sea level for one day of blissful yoga and music in the bustle of everyday life,” Krasno said.

For those who want to hit the beach early, The Kula Market will open at noon, where attendees can sip, sample, and browse through sponsors’ offerings and rejuvenate in between yoga sessions.

Official media partner, Health magazine, will offer the Health Zen Lounge, allowing yogis to recharge, relax, and pamper with great giveaways for the mind, body and soul.

Throughout the day attendees will be fueled by a number of Wanderlust partners including Kashi, a natural foods pioneer, which will share its passion for the power of positive eating with samples of its organic and non-GMO cereals.

Wholesome, all-natural Wasa Crispbreads will also be sampling some of its simple and delicious recipes as a recharge between classes.

LUVO, the transformational, lifestyle food brand offering great tasting, healthy and easy to prepare foods, will be sampling their delicious, nutrient-dense menu items and resource Natural Spring Water, 100 percent natural spring water in a bottle made with 50 percent recycled plastic will keep practitioners hydrated and refreshed.

Spiritual Gangster, a yoga inspired clothing brand for high vibration living, will also partner with music artists, adding a little yoga festival flair to the festivalgoers’ style.

Wanderlust Yoga in the City Los Angeles will be followed by events in San Francisco, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
