Why Trust Us
Disclosure
We’ve been spoilt for choice with fitness festivals this summer. From Be:Fit and Balance, LoveFit to Soul Circus, now we prepare for the holy grail of them all. Wanderlust. The crème de la crème of yoga music festivals is bringing their signature triathlon (Wanderlust 108) to Victoria Park on Saturday 23rd September and we’re a tiny bit excited. They’re even flying in superstars from the US including DJ Taz and Arli Liberman who will be providing the soundtrack to your Saturday.
When we say “triathlon”, there’s actually no swimming. Or cycling. There’s no competition element either (…Â phew!). This one isn’t about how strong, fast and fit you are but how healthy, balanced and mentally strong you are … and what activities test these things more than anything else? Running, yoga and meditation of course – with a heavy dose of laughter with friends along the way. God bless oxytocin. Here’s what to expect…
