Layaway Goes Away May 2 | Join The Circus at WL | Ride The Bus to Wanderlust + More!

The deadline to grab a layway ticket to Wanderlust is May 2, so act now to guarantee your spot in your favorite classes without plunking down the full price now. You'll pay in three installments -- the 1st when you buy the installment ticket, the 2nd on May 15 and the 3rd on June 15. There are no additional fees or costs to use layway -- you pay the regular price. Layway applies to Sage and Seeker tickets at Wanderlust Vermont (June 23 - 26) and Wanderlust California (July 28 - 31). It also applies to all tickets for the Anusara Grand Circle (June 19 - 22, right before Wanderlust VT) and Anusara Inspired Gathering (July 24 - 27, open only to Anusara Inspired and Certified teachers).

Sacramento's Zuda Yoga is hosting exciting classes and experiences at Wanderlust California this summer. In addition to dozens of classes taught by master teachers from all over the US, the Zuda Up & Down spaces at Plumpjacks will be home to Wanderlust's Teacher Intensives. These workshops, designed specifically for teachers, include Zuda's "Fold into Bliss" and "Awaken Your Twists," two out-of-the-box workshops from Zuda's Assisting Series that will take you out of the thinking world of alignment-based assists by focusing on the organic, energetic alignment of a pose, creating a physical and emotional connection with your students. Experience and learn the power of touch!

Zuda will also host a series of fun-filled evening events designed for yogis and yoginis interested in some day-end socialization, restoration and relaxation. Events include Sacred Awakenings -- chill out to down-tempo tunes featuring the likes of Rara Avis while getting a massage or just relax in the lounge atmosphere. If you're still bursting with energy, check out Zuda's Shaman Side of the Moon, a fun asana class with live music by Shaman's Dream, or come wind yourself up with late-night Twister!

JOIN THE CIRCUS AT WANDERLUST VERMONT!

Step right up and join the circus with Bread & Puppet Theater. Bread & Puppet, one of the oldest non-profit self -supporting theatrical companies in the country, will perform its "Decapitalization Circus" at Wanderlust Vermont. This is a volunteer based show, and they want you to be a part of it! Performers will need 5 hours of rehearsal time in order to learn the ins and outs from the pros, so if you would like to be a part of the final performance, you must sign up for both Bread & Puppet classes (Friday + Saturday) on the scheduler. This opportunity is open to everyone and there is no experience necessary -- but it's first come, first served. To learn more, click here.
