Tradition dictates that a 10-year anniversary is celebrated with aluminum; modern norms have ditched the tin for diamonds. As we begin celebrating 10 years of Wanderlust in 2019, we think the diamond is apropos: Over the years, we\u2019ve certainly refined the proverbial lump of mindful coal into what we consider a shining beacon of the promise of wellness for all.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a journey\u2014and there have certainly been plenty of bumps\u00a0along the road<\/a>. But one of the things that hasn\u2019t changed (and of which, full disclosure, we\u2019re pretty darn proud!) is our great relationship with world-class teachers. Every year we bring you a roster of renowned talent to help you find your true north. In this series, we\u2019ll highlight some of those teachers who have been with us over the years\u2014and how they look back at their relationship with Wanderlust over the past decade.\u00a0<\/em>This week: Gina Caputo<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss your chance to be a part of this very special 10-Year Anniversary! Join the global mindful movement at a\u00a0Wanderlust event<\/a>\u00a0this year.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tell us about your first time at Wanderlust.<\/h3>\n

2010 Squaw!! I still recall some standout moments of awe: Shiva\u2019s classes in The Greatest Place were the biggest yoga classes I\u2019d ever seen to date. On the other end of the spectrum, I didn\u2019t know what Dubstep was and had my initiation in a literal ocean of people at Bassnectar. I remember during Moby\u2019s acoustic set feeling like I\u2019d better fully drink this in because it was a special, magical moment that would never be repeated in the same way. There was also the moment of breaking into spontaneous song with \u201cstrangers” on the funitel, and yoga on the skating rink at High Camp\u2014that blew my head off.<\/p>\n

What does Wanderlust mean to you?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been to Wanderlust as a student, an assistant and a teacher and in all ways, Wanderlust means connection. The locations make a re-connect to Nature an accessible priority, I connect with colleagues year after year and celebrate how we\u2019ve grown and changed and evolved our craft, I connect with students that I\u2019ve met elsewhere for a reunion or that I\u2019ve met at Wanderlust and it has become \u201cour spot\u201d, I connect with music that I know and love or that I\u2019ve never heard before and let it touch me deeply in new ways. I connect with community, I connect with my Self. It makes me smile just to reflect on what Wanderlust means to me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
