Yoga, Music, and Spectacular Views Set this Festival Apart From the Rest
This summer a new happening will redefine the destination festival experience when Wanderlust brings music and holistic pleasures to Squaw Valley USA. The Gold Coast Concert Bowl plays host to a world-class lineup of music for the first time since Jerry Garcia Band headlined Bill Graham’s 1991 Summer Music Festival on the magical mountain stage. A boutique, three-day experience, Wanderlust brings together the world’s leading yoga teachers and top-tier rock and roll performers in a legendary setting of breathtaking beauty. This feast for both the body and the senses lands in Squaw Valley, July 24-26, 2009.
Wanderlust mornings are spent down in the Village at Squaw Valley getting centered in one of many classes led by some of the most notable names in yoga today, including Shiva Rea and John Friend. Wanderlust will include other notable instructors like Annie Carpenter, Christy Nones, Duncan Wong, Elena Brower, Janet Stone, Jason & Jenny (acroyogis), Katchie Ananda, Kenny Graham, Les Leventhal, Rusty Wells, Schuyler Grant, Sianna Sherman, and many others from San Francisco’s Yoga Tree studios.
Afternoons and evenings are dedicated to musical discovery, high in the Sierra Nevada’s. Squaw Valley’s Cable Car and Funitel (gondola) bring festival-goers up the mountain to soak in fresh, diverse performances on the Gold Coast Concert Bowl stage, nestled above Lake Tahoe. It’s a setting like no other, with a line-up to match. Michael Franti & Spearhead, Spoon, Andrew Bird, Jenny Lewis, Broken Social Scene, Gillian Welch, and Girl Talk lead the collection of acts. Other artists performing at 8,000 feet include Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Rogue Wave, Amanda Palmer, Kaki King, Mates of State, The Honey Brothers, The Mutaytor, The London Souls, Jai Uttal, and more.
