Wanderlust 108 in DC

September 21, 2015

By Sari Leigh

I’d always heard about the wild yoga fun to be had at a Wanderlust festival. But I never really took the energy to attend due to the distance. This time the Wanderlust festival happened 10 minutes away from my house at the DC Armory in Southeast, making it easy for me to experience a sample of the Wanderlust brand.

The Wanderlust 108 Festival touched down in DC to honor National Yoga Month. Over 500 people bounced to the breath of healing vibes led by DJ Drez and MC Yogi and an asana practice led by Ariele Foster. The festival consisted of a “yoga triathlon” with a 5K, an asana practice and a meditation.  DJ Drez surprised me with a soulful musical vibration and MC Yogi taught an amazing asana practice by connecting the crowd to the theme of peace and love.

  1. This festival looks so amazing! I’ve only traveled to DC once, but it seems like a great environment for this to take place in. I love the idea of supporting local artists in the yoga community as well. Maybe (hopefully) one day I’ll get a chance to go to something similar to Wanderlust in my own city (Seattle!). Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
