What the Hell Happened with YEANZ Ltd & Wanderlust Australia New Zealand?

February 1, 2018 by Kara-Leah Grant 9 Comments

by Kara-Leah Grant It's the news that has ruptured the New Zealand and Australian yoga community and shattered the dreams of thousands of people. On January 12th, 2018 YEANZ Ltd, the company that held the license for Wanderlust in Australia and New Zealand, went into liquidation. Eleven days later, the worst was confirmed - Wanderlust Great Lake Taupō was effectively cancelled. The Yoga Lunchbox has been part of the Wanderlust journey right from the beginning: I've interviewed many Wanderlust … [Read more...]

Wanderlust Festival

by guest author Jonnie Halstead, Picnic Events See bottom of articles for dates & line-up for One Day events in 2014. I have an announcement to make, just for you; the loyal Yoga Lunchbox reader. If you haven’t heard of Wanderlust Festival, read my previous articles on hitting Wanderlust in the States. What I didn’t say previously, or couldn’t say for legal reasons, was that I have been in cahoots with the NY-based Wanderlust team for sometime and in fact it was they who invited me … [Read more...]

What’s it like to attend Lightning in a Bottle Festival?

Meditation with Mark Whitwell

by guest author Jonnie Halstead, Picnic Events Lightning In A Bottle is not a festival... It's another freak’n planet! A fourth dimension where only the weird and wonderful flourish. This is not for the faint of heart. There’s the odd eye-opener mixed with a lot of near nudity. But the beauty is not just beheld by the lithe young bodies in the audience - the production and theming is without a doubt the best I’ve seen in a fifteen year career in events. So where else would the yogic … [Read more...]

Shiva teaching a sea of faces at Wanderlust

by guest author Jonnie Halstead, Picnic Events I am transformed. The yogi that writes to you know is different from the man who landed at LAX on the third of July. That was before I ventured on to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado for the Wanderlust festival, before I had explored new depths in my yoga practice and before I had benefited from some of the most prolific modern yoga teachers, inspiring mindful living leaders and notorieties of the conscious consumer movement. That was also … [Read more...]

Is New Zealand ready for a Wanderlust-style yoga and music festival?

Yoga @ Lightening in a Bottle

by guest author Jonnie Halstead, Picnic Events Did you know there is a thriving ‘Yoga Festival’ scene in the United States? I didn’t and I‘ve been working the New Zealand festival circuit for over 15 years! In early 2011 I attended a lecture by a prominent modern-day yoga ‘guru’ who was visiting Auckland from LA - yes, none other than Mr. Bikram himself. Kara-Leah approached me at the post-drinks and asked if I had ever considered “something like Wanderlust” here in New … [Read more...]
