Earth Day Miami 2012 - It's A Party for Our Planet

Earth Day is this weekend and in honor of our home planet, we've put together a short list of Namaste-worthy events happening around Miami. If you would like a long list, simply Google "Earth Day Miami" and wade through the twenty-nine thousand and two hundred search results for yourself.

Sustainatopia kicks-off this Thursday and in true Miami fashion is taking what should be a day-long celebration and turning it into an entire weekend. We aren't complaining.

The EcoArt Fashion Show on Saturday is what's standing out to us, but you be the navigator of your own ship and click the link to set your own course. There's actually a lot going on there with the whole Earth Day Miami connection but we've had too much wine today to try to really decipher it. Just trust us, we're like Miami's oceanic oracle - we may seem out of it and random but we know how to pick a party.

Moving on. Our perfect Sunday (actual Earth Day line-up) will include:

H2OM: Starting 2012 with Refined Radiance

This Friday night Christy Nones (certified Anusara instructor) will lead The Standard's monthly yoga soirée, H2OM. This month's theme will be "Starting 2012 with Refined Radiance".

The event starts at 8 pm and cost is $30, which includes access to the Indoor Baths, Hamam, Aroma Steam Room, Cedar Sauna, Sound Pool, Roman Waterfall Hot Tub and Mud Lounge.

Wanderlusting (The Afterglow): Cameron Shayne's Budokon

While all of the programming at this past weekend's Wanderlust Festival was stellar, there were a few stand out performances. One of them being Cameron Shayne, creator and founder of Budokon.We caught a few of his classes and demos and we're thoroughly impressed - not only with his lack of clothing (hello booty shorts!) but with his extreme body knowledge. 

From demonstrations with his flock of followers, to breaking down transitions here, here and here - he definitely left us wanting more. Check out our YouTube Channel for more videos from this weekend from Wanderlust Festival at the Standard and find out when and where you can get a piece of Cameron's action by viewing his schedule. Namaste.

A Minute of Meditation with Garth Stevenson

Enjoy a minute of Garth Stevenson's morning meditation in the grass circle at The Standard Miami during Wanderlust Festival this past Friday morning.

Garth led beautiful non-verbally guided meditations in the mornings during Wanderlust Festival with his 150-year-old bass. Learn more about Garth Stevenson here.

Wanderlust at The Standard - Elena Brower & Schuyler Grant

Just finished up an evening yoga session with Elena Brower & Schuyler Grant at The Standard. Great first day at Wanderlust Festival in Miami Beach. The crowd today was really chill. Schuyler was giving amazing adjustments, not too heavy but just very intuitive and well - pretty "in" there if you know what I mean. I basically feel like I got to second base with her.

Very much looking forward to tomorrow. NamasteMiami.com will simultaneously be in Garth Stevenson's 8 a.m. meditation and Cameron Shayne's Budokon class. We'll see how the rest of the day unfolds from there. We'll keep you posted.

Lusting for more Wanderlust? Check out the opening "OM" from this evening's class.

Welcome to Wanderlust Festival at The Standard

Wanderlust Festival has officially begun!

The OMing has officially begun at The Standard Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach. Wanderlust Festival started this afternoon - we were one of the first ones through the door.

We were surprised with an amazing goodie bag that included a blue SmartWater Yoga Mat and Mat Bag, an eQua Mat Towel from Manduka (our last post was about how we wanted one of these! Ask and you shall receive!), A Travel Remedy Essential Oil from H. Gillerman Organics - all packaged in a ChicoBag! Sweet!

We'll be at Wanderlust all weekend posting so check back for updates! Namaste! Planning on hitting Budakon with Cameron Shayne and Garth Stevenson's meditation in the morning.
