Yoga and Music Lovers Escape the Cold at Wanderlust at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach for 2011's First Taste of Wanderlust Festival

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Wanderlust Festival, the fastest spreading yoga and music phenomenon in festival history, announces that Miami Beach will be the first destination for a growing roster of 2011 Wanderlust events. The first of select hotel and venue events nationwide takes place March 17 – 20, 2011 at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach, a holistic paradise whose outdoor lawns, Turkish hamam and aroma steam baths offer the ultimate Wanderlust experience. Wanderlust at The Standard Spa kicks off Wanderlust's 2011 season, culminating with weekend-long festivals at Stratton Mountain in Vermont and Squaw Valley USA in Lake Tahoe, CA.

Wanderlust at The Standard Spa will feature notable yoga teachers from the nation's top studios, including Elena Brower of Vira Yoga, Schuyler Grant of the Kula Yoga Project, and Barbara Verrochi and Kristin Leigh of The Shala.  Bonobo (DJ set), The Mayapuris, Shaman's Dream, Prasanna and Garth Stevenson are included in the lineup of electronic, world and Kirtan artists.

A utopian setting for Wanderlust, The Standard Spa, Miami Beach celebrates a mix of health and hedonism. Wanderlust attendees will enjoy The Standard's indoor/outdoor yoga and fitness programs, therapeutic massage, Acupuncture and Chinese herbal baths, plus Mediterranean style natural foods of Lido Restaurant & Bayside Grill.

"Despite being one of the top five yoga markets in the country, Miami has been comparatively underserved in terms of its thriving yoga community," said festival co-founder Jeff Krasno.  "We are looking forward to bringing Wanderlust to this energetic and vibrant community, giving them the first taste of what we have in store for 2011."
