Wanderlust Countdown with Elena Brower

Are you ready for Wanderlust Miami this week, March 17-20th? We hope so because The Standard Miami is ready to have you. The event is a 3 day yoga retreat with some of the finest yoga instructors and spa treatments at our hotel. One of the four teachers this year is Elena Brower, a powerfully glowing woman who brings healing to all who visit her classes in New York City. You can also read some very helpful nuggets of wisdom in her columns, The Art of Attention, Huffington Post or CrazySexyLife.

Elena took a moment to speak about her upcoming week in the sun, her music inspiration, and even provide some tips before Thursday. 

In your own words, tell us what this grand week is about… for us civilians who don’t know what Wanderlust is?

For me, this festival is about healing, listening, practicing, dancing and getting closer to yourself.

So does every yoga instructor have their own flavor [for instructing] this week to set them apart from others? What’s yours?

Definitely. My mission on this planet is to help everyone get more spacious and clear about who they are and how they can serve in the world. I combine Anusara yoga with what I’ve learned from Rajanaka yoga and my coaches at the Handel Group to serve up an intense but super nurturing practice.
