For some tips on how to maximize on your outdoor yoga festival experience check out our Summer Festivals Pt. 1 blog!

A few Wanderlust Tremblant specific tips

  • Make sure to allow yourself ample travel time, as there will be many people heading out to Tremblant for the weekend. Check the travel time on Google Maps and factor in an extra 30-45 minutes!
  • The corner store in the village can be a little pricey, so make sure to be well prepared! 
  • Restaurants in the village can also be costly, and there are not too many vegan options, so bringing your own food to prepare your own meals might be a good idea. If you have access to transportation you can also check out restaurants outside of the village.
  • Though classes may appear as "FULL" on the schedule, if you are really keen on attending, you can still take a chance and wait in line for the class, as there are always last minute cancellations!

Looking forward to another stellar Wanderlust Festival! See you there!

Some quick tips for making your outdoor summer yoga festival experience more enjoyable…

  • Bring sunscreen, a water bottle, a hat and/or sunglasses!
  • Bring an older yoga mat that you don’t mind getting dirty, or a towel to put under your yoga mat.
  • Bring a lighter coloured mat if possible, as darker mats tend to heat up in the sun
  • Bring snacks! Packing in all those classes will have you working up quite the appetite! Bring snacks that travel well: trail mix, dried fruit, apples, oranges… Nothing that will bruise or get banged up easily!
  • Be practical about picking your schedule! We tend to get excited about all the class possibilities that we sometimes forget about logistics… Are the classes back to back? How far apart are they in distance?
  • Consider mixing it up, you may be a Flow-lover but festivals are a great time to mix it up with some Yin and Restorative too! Your body will thank you for it!
  • Lastly, as with anything in life, HAVE FUN! Walk around, take in the sights, check out the vendor booths, grab some free samples, attend some outdoor concerts! Make the most out of your festival experience!

    Happy summer festival-ing yogis!

An Homage to Luna Yoga on its 14th Anniversary!

An Homage to Luna Yoga on its 14th Anniversary!

I first came to Luna Yoga in the late summer of 2008. Until that point, I had practiced a much gentler style of yoga with the first teacher I was blessed to find along my journey, Joan Ruvinsky. I was initially introduced to the deeply rooted philosophical teachings that Joan incorporates, but I soon found myself craving a more physical practice. I had quickly formed a home practice after first starting in yoga, and as I found myself attempting more advanced postures at home, I always kept an element of caution to my movement, knowing I needed to find a space where I could be supervised as I went deeper into it. My sister from another mister, Sonia Papasimakis-Collins, was at that time the Store Manager of the Ste-Catherine St Lululemon store and had been telling me for months that I had to come try this teacher whose studio was in Old Montreal, and whose classes were beyond what she ever could have expected from a yoga session.
