The phrase festival season means different things to different people.
For a lucky few, its a chance to see Beyoncemake music history.
Some take it as the best time to break out their best flower crowns.

Ive personally always thought Coachella sounded more dehydrating than fun.
But afitness festival, on the other hand, is a concept I can get behind.
Offers range from international events likeWanderlust Festivalto local weekends likeNantucket Yoga Festival.

Some fitness festivals offer a full itinerary of various workout classes, often taught by celebrity instructors.
Others mix live music with workout offerings.
All of them promise a healthier vibe than a weekend of boozing and sweating in the desert.
The lobby of the W Hollywood during Wake Up Call weekend
After all, it was a great excuse to wear leggings in public all day.
(W Hotels covered my expenses.)
The entire weekend took place in the W Hollywood.
The festivities didn’t officially start until Saturday morning, but plenty of hotel guests-slash-concertgoers checked in on Friday.
When I arrived late that night, it looked like setup had already begun.
(We all know how important getting shots for the gram is at music festivals.)
Turns out, I was worrying for nothingthis class was the real deal.
And it was only my first workout of the day.
Everyone looked like they had a blast, including the people who had never clipped into a bike before.
Ill say this: The DJ sets seemed more packed than the workout classes.
(There were only about 10 to 15 people in each class I took.)
Coachella, watch your back.
Im the key in of person who would rather go to ayoga classthan a late-night DJ set.
For you, it could be the opposite.
Either way, both of us will end uppretty sweaty.
