NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Wanderlust, an innovator in wellness and lifestyle events, has announced that Wanderlust 108 – the world’s only mindful triathlon — is returning to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park on Sunday, September 12 for a day of movement, mindfulness, and conscious community. Wanderlust 108 Brooklyn will be Wanderlust’s first US festival since the pandemic began.
The movement program of the mindful triathlon begins with Taryn Toomey, creator of the wildly popular fitness experience The Class. Taryn will then pass the torch to renowned yoga teacher and activist Seane Corn, who will guide the estimated 4,000 attendees through her signature “Revolution Within” vinyasa yoga class. The triathlon will conclude with a gentle guided meditation from the Rev. angel Kyodo williams, who leads the innovative NYC-based meditation training company MNDFL.
In true Wanderlust fashion, live music will accompany all of the day’s programming, with Caleb Spaulding providing live drumming and DJ Taz Rashid spinning from the main stage. In the afternoon, the Kula Village stage will light up with hand-selected local musical talent. Chelsea Jackson Roberts, an internationally-celebrated Peloton yoga instructor, will emcee the event, and Reggie Hubbard will livestream the mindful revolution via Wanderlust’s social channels and Wanderlust 108 Online.
New this year:
- A communal outdoor food experience with healthy & delicious artisanal food vendors serving both breakfast and lunch, and a redesigned Kula Market with communal seating for nearly 1,000 patrons as well 40+ craft vendors & sponsors. After the mindful triathlon concludes, participants can celebrate victory in the Libation Garden, a reimagination of a traditional biergarten offering a range of craft beer, hard kombucha and seltzer, and wine.
- Wanderlust has introduced a Premium ticket ($45 through Aug. 13, then $59) that includes a gratis pair of Power Leggings from Sweaty Betty ($100 value), breakfast and lunch from onsite vendors, access to 108 Online, as well a staggering array of goodies ($100+ additional value) from Wanderlust and its partners.

Premium ticket holders also receive a reserved practice area near the front of the venue. General admission tickets are free, as always.
