Now close your eyes and try not to fall.

With the New Year upon us and fitness goals and healthy resolutions fresh on our minds, the yoga festival empire Wanderlust has just announced its spring and summer 2018 dates for the Wanderlust 108 mindful triathlon, in collaboration with adidas. 

Though the event has come to Houston in both 2015 and 2017,  if you want to reach full consciousness in a festival setting this year, looks like  you’ll have to travel to Dallas on Saturday, April 14, at Reunion Park. Or to Austin, though the date for that city hasn’t yet been announced. 

The Wanderlust 108 isn’t a traditional triathlon. It’s comprised of a 5K, an hour and a half session of yoga, and a 30-minute guided meditation, all set to music by live musicians and DJs. The event also offers a food and craft/retail marketplace and bonus fitness classes throughout the day as well.

Tickets are available in tiered packages, including a $150 Wan(der)lust package that includes numerous perks and freebies such as a yoga mat and water bottle; a 108 Package for $99 with a few freebies; regular tickets for $40 (rising to $60 as the event approaches), and yoga-only tickets for $30. Wanderlust is donating $1.08 of every ticket sold to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS with (RED), which has generated more than $500 million for  supporting HIV/AIDS programs and services in eight countries in Africa.
