Yoga Alliance Travels to Wanderlust Oahu
For four days on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii at the Turtle Bay Resort, Yoga Alliance® took part in Wanderlust Festival, the world’s fastest-growing yoga and music festival.
Laura Gross, Wanderlust’s Vice President of Partnerships, says the four-day festival is about creating a community around “mindful living” as well as building a holistic appreciation for the arts, travel, culture, health and sustainability.
Yoga Alliance’s team welcomed flocks of festival-goers to the YA booth, situated near the main concert stage and yoga venue, and informed them about the latest happenings at Yoga Alliance.
"We spoke to hundreds of people at our booth,” says E-RYT 500 Andrew Tanner YA spokesperson. “[Seeing all those people] gave our booth a fun and exciting atmosphere while we spoke to people about our specific programs like Social Credentialing and our advocacy work.”
Attendees posed revealing questions for YA staff that pointed to emerging trends, especially for the west coast yoga community, and unmet needs of the community at large, including whether stand-up paddleboard (SUP)
yoga instructors warranted specific credentialing, the kind of training needed to teach children yoga versus adults, and how YA can provide more educational or professional development content to audiences.

There are so many reasons to practice yoga: it brings stillness to your mind, flexibility to your body, and connection to a greater spirit. You can reap these benefits wherever you practice yoga– at home, at a school, or in a park– but wouldn’t it be better if you were on vacation, too?
