(O’ahu)– Wanderlust, the fast-growing yoga lifestyle brand, will kick off its North American 2014 yoga festival season at the fabled North Shore’s Turtle Bay Resort for the second annual Wanderlust O’ahu. From February 27 – March 2, 2014, this four-day seaside celebration will be packed with yoga from top tier teachers, live music and DJs and meditation. Paired with local culinary cuisine by known chefs, regional beer tastings and outdoor adventures, yogis can also explore and find their true north through surfing, hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking and nature walks.

“O’ahu is a special place to celebrate the conscious lifestyle with the community and we are excited to bring Wanderlust back to the Hawaiian Islands,” said Wanderlust co-founder Jeff Krasno. “People come from all over the country to create a once in a lifetime experience and to find their true north, which is a huge honor. Now, we return to the island traditionally known as “The Gathering Place” to continue the journey of inspiration, transformation and definitely celebration.”

This year’s festival will be filled with transformative activities including:

YOGA—Practice with the world’s top yoga talent, including Seane Corne, Ana Forrest, Schuyler Grant, Barron Baptiste, Eoin Finn and more—offering a diverse collection of classes from Vinyasa, Hatha, and Restorative, to Anusara and beyond.

MUSIC – Get groovy with live performances from today’s hottest conscious artists including Moby, DJ Drez, MC Yogi, Mike Love, Hawaii-based Donavon Frankenreiter, Tutu Janet and others. 

NATURE—Outdoor enthusiasts of all ages can explore the full range of adventurous activities from surfing to paddle boarding, kayaking, explorative hikes, horseback riding, fishing excursions and more. 

FOOD & BEVERAGE— Gourmands can dive into delicious Sea-to-Table Dinners, a high-end dining experience created with fresh, organic ingredients from the North Shore crafted by native islander, Chef Conrad Aquino for a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience.  For a quick fuel in between the Wanderlust activities, LUVO will be providing festival goers samples of their tasty and healthy, wholesome menu of entrees, soups and deserts. Toward the end of a perfect day, kick back with a refreshing island brew from Kona Brewing Company. A local favorite since it began in 1994, Kona will host a beer sampling from 5:00 – 7:00pm on Friday and Saturday evenings at the Hang Ten Bar, complimentary to all Wanderlust ticket holders. 

ATTRACTIONS – Music enthusiasts can practice their musical talents and participate in Martin Guitar workshops. Festival goers will be able to sign up to perform their favorite song at the Martin Guitar Jam Tent and enter for a chance to win a Martin ukulele or guitar, among other Martin gear. Experience 180 years of tradition, culture and best in class craftsmanship from C.F. Martin & Co.
