Hey guys! I’ve partnered with Alexandra Dawson of inmybowl.com to bring you insider tips to achieve a healthier mind and body – both in and out of Wanderlust’s four day festival, over on the Free People BLDG 25 blog.

This past July we packed up our yoga pants for four days of scenic yoga, moon parties, and wildflower walks at Wanderlust Festival, Squaw Valley as part of Wellness Warrior Collective — a collaborative series exploring the elements and interconnectedness of whole body wellness through the lens of self-love, positive thinking, and holistic living. With our diverse backgrounds and overwhelming passions for spreading health and living our lives in motion, we’re now delving into the experience and chatting about how to not only navigate the four day fest, but how to transform that Wanderlust magic into an everyday practice.

Alexandra: Alexandra here from the Wellness Warrior Collective, and independently InMyBowl.com and @TallulahAlexandra, a lifestyle and recipe website advocating plant-based nutrition, healthful and positive living, and #GoddessVibes. It’s so hard to believe we’re on the other side of Wanderlust, I still can’t really wrap my mind around it!

Ksenia: Hi, Ksenia here! My @breakfastcriminals Instagram account started as a creative outlet for my personal quest for starting each day with a little more love manifested in nutrient-packed superfood breakfasts. Having found my heart in this process, I now hope to inspire my readers to let go of trends and rules in favor of tuning inside for innate guidance, with a side of açaí bowl. I can’t believe it either – Wanderlust Festival flew by!

Ksenia: You know how they say travel changes you, that we bring a piece of every adventure home with us, never going back to the previous version of us – what did you bring home with you from Wanderlust in Squaw Valley?

Alexandra: This feels so silly now, but I actually went into Wanderlust really anxious; in the midst of overwhelming excitement, I’d been subtly panicking for weeks. Although I’ve always been a very active and healthful person, I knew I’d be in the presence and practice of some really incredible yogis – I just wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep up. On the other side of the festival, I definitely brought home a renewed confidence and self-awareness – in my practice and in myself. It’s so easy to fall into doubt or awkwardness, but it’s imperative we listen to our bodies, their physical and emotional needs, and truly welcome and celebrate those big victories and small successes. That’s definitely something I’ve been able to find strength in, on and off my mat.
