United by the commitment to our practice, the pursuit of
balance and promise to do one thing a day that scares us, yogis from far and
wide congregated in Vancouver’s backyard for the first Canadian installment of
Wanderlust.WAN – DER – LUST n. a very strong or irresistible impulse to travel, do yoga and listen to music. Indeed, the atmosphere in the idyllic mountain village of Whistler made all these things irresistible. Host to heavy hitters like Seane Corne, Chris Chavez, Eoin Finn, and music legends like Michael Franti and Thievery Corporation, Whistler created the space for different teaching styles and body rocking beats to flow together in harmony.
The weekend was riddled with powerful metaphors and words of
transformation. One such ah-ha moment occurred during Eoin Finn’s Sunday
Superflow class. Eoin spoke about the ocean and yoga and the symmetry that
exists between them. On the surface, the ocean is fickle and abuzz but when you
sink deeper there is a boundless calm and tranquility awaiting you. He invited
us to peel back the layers and find comfort in discomfort, focus on the breath
and let peace fill us. Piece of cake, right?
After a weekend of back bending and heart openings, we
wandering yogis headed back to the city filled with gratitude and some serious #joblove.
Working for lululemon isn’t just an education in black stretchy pants, it’s
an education of the body, mind, and soul.
