The Sydney and Melbourne Wanderlust shows will be True North events, bringing together a number of wellbeing elements for punters including yoga, music, meditation, movement, groundedness and more. The other Wanderlust shows will include practice-based Yoga Jams.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Michael again,” Wanderlust creator Radek Sali said in a press statement.
“He was the first headliner we ever booked back at our 2009 event in California, and he shares so many of our values — community, practice, healthy living, environmentalism and social justice, to name just a few. We’re thrilled to be able to support his tour in Australia and bring his voice to yogis across the country.”
