5 Yoga Events on My 2015 Wishlist

My 2015 schedule is pretty packed. I'm traveling a lot and I'm heading out of the country 3 different times, so I doubt I'll be able to justify yet another trip or event-related expense (Also, Ben probably wouldn't love the idea, since he's not going to any of the aforementioned places with me...whoops!), but that doesn't mean that a girl can't compose a friendly wish list, right? 

And that doesn't mean that you can't go anywhere else this year, right!? 

Yesterday, I was talking with a client who was just back from an entrepreneurship retreat to Costa Rica, and we both agreed that it should be MANDATORY that every single person go on a trip or retreat by themselves at least once per year (Government-funded program, perhaps?).

I know that if we were each given this time and space to relax + do mucho yoga every year, we would all be happier, healthier, better people. 

That being said, here are 5 yoga events that I wish I could attend in 2015. I *may* be able to swing a weekend jaunt to Kripalu at some point in the fall, but for the most part, these events will have to stay on my wishlist until a less travel-filled year...

But maybe you can make one happen? I hope so. And maybe you can report back so that I can plan for 2016...?

1. Love Yoga Fest "Release + Renew" Weekend Retreat [on Cape Cod], May 1-3rd: As you all know, I'm a big fan of Love Yoga Fest, which is Cape Cod's first + only yoga festival, and I love the ladies who started it (I've featured 3 of the founders, here, here, and here). In addition to the festival, which I'll be teaching at again in August, they've added this super affordable retreat here on the Cape in May, and it sounds divine. Perfect weekend getaway!
   
   
2. Wanderlust Stratton, June 18-24: Speaking of yoga festivals, I've always wanted to go to Wanderlust! Wouldn't it be fun to spend a summer on the yoga festival circuit and go to both Love Yoga Fest + Wanderlust in VT? Sounds amazing and I hear it's totally crazy and wonderful.
   
   
3. Kula Flow: Vinyasa for Strength, Detoxification, and Levitation with Schulyer Grant [at Kripalu], April 3-5th: I spent a weekend at Kripalu with Schuyler Grant this past fall, and she was INCREDIBLE. Just wow. If you can swing it, I highly suggest you find a way to hop on over (or up/down) to Kripalu in April to check her out! If you can't make April, find her elsewhere. She's a must. 
   
   
4. For the Love of Nature Galapagos Retreat with Ame Wren, November 5-12th: Um, yoga + the Galapagos + the one and only Ame Wren? Sounds incredible. Another teacher who I highly recommend studying with if you can--and who better to do it with than giant, 100-year old tortoises? 
   
   
5. Prana Vinyasa: Movement Alchemy for Living Flow with Shiva Rea [at Kripalu], July 20-12th: Shiva Rea is one of those teachers who I've never studied with (not even an online class), but have heard a lot about and would love to spend a weekend with, just to learn more about her and her unique style. Plus, Kripalu is just so easy (if you live in MA...).

So many incredible yoga events, so little time! What's on your wishlist this year? If you've never been on a retreat, or taken a weekend off to visit Kripalu or attend a yoga festival, why not make 2015 your year? Yoga events are dabomb.com. 

{Also, just a reminder that I'm leading two retreats with Kimberly Wilson this year and would *LOVE* to have you join us...more info about both Costa Rica + Italy here.}

Oh, and Mat Matters will be back next week! Sorry for the unintended mini-hiatus, but this move has set me behind in more ways than one, and I have yet to figure out my new video recording spot ;)
