Wanderlust Yoga at Santa Monica Pier (slide show)

A crowd of eager yogis took over part of the Santa Monica Pier on Saturday for the Wanderlust 1-day “Yoga in the City” event. The afternoon, which drew hundreds of avid participants, included a total of six yoga sessions and ended with a dance party, courtesy of MC Yogi. Advanced yoga attendees wowed with their handstands and strength abilities while onlookers packed into the vendor tents to snag free product and food samples (the most popular: free bunches of kale). The Wanderlust Festival holds multi-day yoga events throughout the country and has brought their passion for yoga, mindfulness, health and fun into the urban setting with the YITC events, which have included cities such as Chicago, San Francisco and New York.
