Hiking & Soaking: Azores Adventure

Sold Out…thanks adventurers!

Join MYA for a spectacular adventure in the Azores! We’ll stay on the biggest island, the green island, São Miguel. Adventurers will be absorbing pristine nature, volcanic scenery replete with hot springs, crater lakes, waterfalls, marine life, thermal swimming pools, beaches, and more…

We’ll spend seven nights in a beautiful villa with a heated pool and hot tub with views of Barrosa Mountain. Adventurers will spread out into four bedrooms, with a choice of either a queen bed or twin bed - please know that there is limited space on this adventure. The living room opens up through glass windows to the outdoor backyard area with garden & soaking elements, and also to the kitchen. Anna will be your cook, serving up vegetarian fabulousness with Portuguese flair.

Adventurers will be in an excellent location to discover the whole island. The villa is five minutes from the beaches and ten from the center of Ponta Delgada, the charming & quaint capital with European vibes. There will be plenty of hiking along the footpaths on the island; and of course, those of you who love birdwatching, bring along your binos to see the feathered beauties on hikes and with a visit to the Priolo Environmental Centre. There’s endless exploring to be done on this lush island, a nature lover’s paradise and to top it off there are great possibilities of spotting dolphins and whales.

Driving along the coast, passing through Relva and Feteiras, surrounded by green with the sea in the background, we’ll visit the iconic crater-lakes of the region called Sete Cidades, Seven Cities Lagoon and take in the Vista do Rei, King’s View. Adventures can admire the beauty of the giant crater at the bottom of which the Verde and Azul lagoons coexist, twinned by an arched bridge, which according to legend were formed from the tears of a princess and a shepherd joined by an impossible love.

In Furnas adventurers will visit a hot spring resort Terra Nostra Garden Hotel where the 18th century Terra Nostra Park resides, a wonder-filled garden with a lake-pool of mineral-rich thermal water. The area has hundreds of small springs and streams, all with different properties with the garden located in the midst of this magnificent water system.

Amazing panoramic views are nearby at Pico do Ferro and Salto do Cavalo. Adventurers will visit a hot spring waterfall of Caldeira Velha nestled in the rainforest and swim in a nice warm bath in the atlantic ocean heated by the volcanic hot water at Ponta da Ferraria.

Adventurers will be offered up a daily morning yoga practice and well as a couple evening flows under the stars. Anna will be serving up five delicious vegetarian dinners and breakfasts, respectful of all food allergies. Lunches are on your own determined by wherever our adventurer places us, there are often leftovers and bringing along picnic supplies is also viable. Please know that everything is optional, you can skip out on yoga and whatever our excursion for the day will be to relax at the villa, perhaps even schedule yourself a massage :)

Don’t miss out on an incredible island adventure with views for days, superb hiking, yummy food, soaking all the ways, daily yoga, villa lounging, birdwatching, marine life sightings, and more…

Puerto Rico Vibe & Volunteer Adventure

MYA is headed to Puerto Rico to explore beautiful Old San Juan, animal rescue volunteer work with Moyo Village as well as yoga, hiking & snorkeling fun.

The adventure begins in Old San Juan with adventurers staying two nights at a funky fabulous hotel decorated with local art. The rooms have balconies and there’s a rooftop sundeck with soaking bathtubs.

We’ll be in walking distance of wonderful restaurants and five minutes from San Cristobal Castle. MYA will cover vegetarian dinnertime meals. There will be plenty of dancing possibilities - salsa!

After playing in the old city, adventurers will move onto Moyo Village to give back to the local animal community. In Swahili, "moyo" means "heart." Moyo Village has a heart for all people, all animals, and our earth. It is their dharma, mission, to help others see the interconnectedness of all life. MYA is joining in their volunteer efforts with local animal organizations offering up our help 2-3 hrs a day.

Puerto Rico has out-of-control populations of street animals which has resulted in a unique mixture of dog breeds locally referred to as satos, as well as cats (gatos) ultimately a result of a lack of spay & neuter leading to unwanted litters and a never-ending cycle of reproduction. Moyo Village believes that the animal rescue mission takes an entire community, not just individuals acting alone, and stand by other orgs in their efforts to both care for and find homes for rescued animals.

We’ll be sure to work in some playtime hiking in El Yunque National Forest, visiting a waterfall, and snorkeling with sea turtles. Absolutely a yoga practice every day :) Our final day will be a decompression day, yoga, relax, go to the beach, perhaps visit an island…

On the volunteer portion of the adventure, breakfasts will be included but adventurers should plan on covering most lunches and dinners (about $250). We will stop at a grocery store if you’d like to manage your dollars more efficiently. Be sure to pack light, we can do laundry.

30 days before the start of our volunteer trip adventurers will be given a private link to collect donations to earn cash back to use towards your trip costs (or towards Moyo Village merch). All donations received will help support the partner rescues that you'll be volunteering with. Raise $500, earn $100​; Raise $1000, earn $250; Raise $1500, earn $500.

Flights are not included in the cost. Holly will be traveling from Bangor on American and may be bringing a dog home via flight angels please take a look at their work. Moyo Village can help adventurers coordinate with them.

To spend two nights in Old San Juan, payment is through MYA, to volunteer with Moyo Village for five nights (June 27-July 2) following the adventure, please find payment ($1240) through their website.

Cost: $600 includes yoga practices, immersion into PR culture, dinnertime twice in Old San Juan, good karma, great people

Payment is accepted via Venmo @maineyogaadventures_ or send a check or use a credit card below…

Blissful Immersion: Copenhagen Adventure

Blissful Immersion: Copenhagen Adventure

Only one spot left!

MYA is going for a sweet deep immersion into Copenhagen, the charming capital of Denmark, known for its iconic landmarks, stunning architecture, Scandinavian culture, and emphasis on wellness. The beautiful city is mostly comprised of national parks and stunning remote natural areas with the energetic feel of a city. Copenhagen is undeniably a walkable, bikeable (more than half of residents ride), and many modes of public transportation easy to get around wonderful place to be. Adventurers will discover Hygge, a Danish term, being in a state of comfort, relaxation, and peace with the ones around you. Cozy.

At a perfect time of year with temps in the low 70s, MYA will take up residence for seven nights in a penthouse, two stories with lots of natural light, two beautifully decorated bathrooms, and multiple comfy corners in a lovely neighbourhood next to the royal residence of Amalienborg (changing of the guards at noon!). The historic charm and nordic design is well preserved with two French balconies, an open living room, kitchen, and dining area. A king sized bed is on the first floor and an internal spiral staircase leads to the second floor with two bedrooms each fitted with two single beds. Steel framed glass walls separate the bedrooms from a lounge area and private entrance for the top floor. The building has the highest eco-certification and does not use single use plastic.

Positioned in the heart of the city, we’ll have an ideal place to explore Copenhagen on foot, bike (we’ll get rentals for the week), or from the water. There are lovely spots for outdoor yoga near Kastellet, an old army fort, next to our abode. We’ll definitely take a swim in the free harbour baths! A harbour tour leaving from Nyhavn is on our adventure list. Floating hot tubs are a possibility! GreenKayak will be perfect for our group, we can pick up trash in the harbor as we paddle.

Freetown Christiania, an intentional community and commune is a not to be missed neighborhood in Copenhagen, home to concert venues, bars, organic and vegetarian eateries, art galleries, and nature. A bit touristy but worthy of a visit will be Tivoli with exotic architecture, historic buildings, lush gardens, and an amusement park. At night thousands of lights create a fairytale atmosphere and we may catch a glimpse of guinea fowls or peacocks who roam the premises.

MYA will soak in the vibe from the old ship yard with an exceptional and unforgettable experience in New Nordic Wellness at a wilderness facility in an urban setting with fire-heated hot tubs and saunas intermingled with big cold plunge tubs. If adventurers are up for it, we could do an hour of hot tubbing paired with an hour of the panoramic sauna with an amazing view of CopenHill. More spa experiences will be at our fingertips throughout Copenhagen…

MYA will cover a few breakfasts and dinners with the fresh outdoor food markets just a walking bridge away across from Nyhavn. Otherwise we’ll be hitting many local eateries to get a feel for Danish foods. An optional cooking class will be offered up and a lot of amazing bread and pastries will be available to us, Brød and/or Hart and/or Myers and/or Ole and Steen, all of it! Adventurers can try Mikkeler beer for happy hour to soak up the yummy carbs. Another option to immerse ourselves properly is a beer tasting.

And…surprise, if we can drag ourselves away (there are castles to visit which haven’t even been mentioned!), we’re taking a side trip to Sweden! Malmo is a short train ride from Copenhagen that’s hard not to visit with it’s coastal proximity, large food market, and the possibility of a lovely bike ride into the countryside and a toes in the sand stroll on the beach. The city is quite quaint and adventurers will surely enjoy it as a day trip.

Holly performed at an experimental theatre in Copenhagen over twenty years ago, it’d be cool to see a show there! There are lots of possibilities in our effort to immerse ourselves into the culture of the city. Adventurers can decide to purchase a Copenhagen Card for access into attractions and public transportation as we get closer to the date and firm up our schedule.

Included in the adventure: 7 nights accommodations, daily yoga practices inside & out, 3 dinners & 3 breakfasts, bike rental for the week, positive vibes…

Cost: $2300/twin bed; $3000/king bed solo/$4000 king bed shared (w/ pre-arranged bed mate)

Payment is accepted via Venmo @maineyogaadventures_ or send a check or use the credit card method below either the full amount or a $1000 deposit.

The adventure begins at the Bangor Humane Society who champions the humane treatment and adoption of companion animals, providing quality care for homeless pets.

We’ll finish up outside with snowga, yay! Stretching out all of our hard work both inside & out. We will then make our way inside for toasty warm goodness, partaking in the hot tub and sauna.

The yurt is cozy, comfortable and a great place to rest and relax while enjoying the outdoors.

Saturday and Sunday will be snowga and ski fundays! No worries about snowga, it’s just yoga in the snow (usually with snowshoes), experience is not necessary.

On Saturday after breakfast and snowga on the beautiful landscape, we’ll head to the Nordic Heritage Center, less than 20 minutes away.

If you have your own skis and snowshoes, bring them along. You can choose the activity that you’re most comfortable with, just being outside in nature should bring on therapeutic goodness. And, there’s a sauna, let’s hope that it’ll be open to warm us up!

MYA has really enjoyed NHC in season’s past, the trail network is expansive and heavenly, so nicely maintained. This is a wonderful organization that MYA is proud to support and will offer up a portion of the adventure proceeds to their cause.

Epic Sunsets & Snorkeling: St. John USVI Adventure

Sold Out - thanks adventurers!

Escape to the Virgin Islands with MYA on an extraordinary adventure to gorgeous St. John, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. This will be our third visit and we know for certain that there will be unparalleled awesome island explorations!

Adventurers will stay at a lush mountain top villa enjoying the vistas of foliage, sea and sky. Daily visitations of iguanas, lizards, and birds are sure to delight. The possibilities are endless with playtime at the beaches, hiking, delicious vegetarian meals, veranda lounging, pool dipping, hot tub soaking, giving back as island volunteers, plenty of yoga practices, and more…

A ferry will take adventurers over to St. John (flights are into St Thomas) and MYA will arrange a 4-wheel drive pick up to whisk you off to our super fab accommodations.

A national park occupies more than half the island with its forests full of resident and migratory birds, including cuckoos, warblers and hummingbirds. The beaches are pristine and spectacular! Ancient jungles ruins are throughout the landscape. Dolphins inhabit the island’s waters, which also host hawksbill and green turtles. The mangroves at Hurricane Hole in the east support corals, anemones, and a large variety of colorful fish. Donkeys, goats, and chickens are sprinkled throughout the island.

Our stunning adventure villa is a fresh one for MYA on Bordeaux Mountain, the highest summit on the island, in the national park. Adventurers will be sweetly ensconced in a quiet, private lush space with a main house and a carriage house, between Cruz Bay & Coral Bay. Tucked away and charming, with sweeping mountain top views across the Caribbean to the British Virgin Islands with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the stunning scenery and cooling breeze.

Inside the magnificent mason home is the exquisite stone Great Room with soaring ceilings adorned with arched windows and mahogany french doors which open up to the wrap around covered veranda which extends out to a breezy tranquil porch.

The gourmet kitchen with blue Viking range was designed for serious cooking and entertaining in mind; Anna, our vegetarian cook for the week, is going to be killing it! The MYA offerings will be vegetarian and any and all food allergies/preferences will be honored. All of the breakfasts are covered as well as five vegetarian dinners at the house, two will be out on the town to take in the local experience.

There are two beautifully decorated bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms within the main house, one with a stone and tile outdoor shower. The close by carriage house has three spacious bedrooms with lovely interiors and a fabulous outdoor shower. The two bedrooms on the upper level of the carriage house have private access and share a spacious bathroom with the open air native stone shower. There is also a large bedroom on the ground level of the carriage house with a full ensuite bathroom. The villa truly comes together with all of the outdoors lounging/eating areas and lush tropical plantings, the infinity in-ground pool, and over sized hot tub.

But wait there’s more, the outdoor dining area with Weber grille (veggie kabobs!) with seating for up to 12 adventurers will be super cool. The space also shares a cozy, comfortable seating area all framed with beautiful arch french doors which open to the pool and central courtyard. Utterly captivating with tranquil ambiance beyond compare!

MYA will be offering up some of our time to the locals with a volunteer component added to our adventure. Adventurers can help out in the national park and/or help care for island animals such as horses, donkeys and goats at the animal sanctuary. We’ll get in a couple hours in the morning before the day heats up.

Adventurers will be hiking, snorkeling (equipment is rentable if you don’t have your own), swimming, birding & wildlife viewing, and enjoying yoga at least once a day. Every beach that we visit has the possibility of amazing underwater life, coral, turtles, fish, nurse shark, octopus etc.

We may book guided tours as well such as the leisurely kayak and snorkel adventure in Hurricane Hole w/ Arawak which has been an amazing experience 2 yrs in a row, and the sunset sail & snorkel with Stormy Pirates, also outstanding. Perhaps you have something in mind for adventurers to try, throw it out there and we’ll make it happen.

Limited space - don’t miss out on a crazy good time on the island of St. John, a slice of paradise!

Festivus Spa Adventure

Sale 20% off!

Join MYA & Sanctuary Spa as they come together for blissful spa time, soaking feet & crafting gifties for loved ones with a festivus spin on things. Adventurers will get in outdoors time with yoga and assembling a ‘night tree’ with edible decorations for wildlife.

Festivus (a friend brought it to MYA’s attention last xmas), originates from the '90s sitcom Seinfeld, an episode titled "The Strike," in which George Costanza's family celebrates Festivus as an alternative to Christmas.

The best part is that everyone can air their grievances, the best medicine, along with laughter, as we make our way into the holidays. We might leave out the feats of strength portion of Festivus, or maybe not…

Our adventure begins at Sanctuary playful and fun with an outdoors yoga flow, getting to know each other and getting hyped for spa time. We’ll then take it inside for a fabulous bath boutique session! Adventurers will get to make their own (or make gifties for others) divine liquid soap, body scrub, and perfume. Expert instruction will enable adventurers to assemble quality, eco-friendly bath products at home (for themselves or more gift giving).

Sanctuary will also set up soak stations to relax feet in whilst perhaps enjoying a beverage from MYA. Not only is there soaking but also the amazing post-soak foot massage. A delightful spread of vegetarian food will be at the ready!

Adventurers will eat, spa, and unload any and all of their grievances. You’ve got to let go of all of that angst :) Please know that as the adventure finale we’ll fix the karmic scale and share some goodness with the natural world. We’ll give back to wildlife with a ‘night tree’, a wonderful tradition of decorating a tree in the forest with food for birds and other woodland critters.

Based on the Night Tree, a book by Eve Bunting, a true gem, we’ll build some edible creations like peanut butter & bird seed coated cones, string popcorn & cranberries, and orange slices. Adventurers will head out into the night and find the perfect tree.

Don’t miss out on a festive festivus spa adventure with plenty of relaxation time, take home goodies, super yummy food, and outdoors yoga & nature fabulousness!

Cost: $100. Now $80

Canceled: Outdoorsy Soaking & Skiing Santas Adventure

Sadness, had to cancel this adventure but hoping to get to the wonderful adventure house in Bethel sometime in the future :)

MYA is headed to Western Maine for some wicked fun, we’ll get in lots of outside time, relaxation in the hot tub, yoga, yummy eats, and skiing in your best Santa outfit! If we get some early snow (fingers crossed!), we’ll partake in snowtastic activities of snowga and cross-country skiing; if not, we can enjoy the hiking in the area which is fabulous. The final frolic will be downhill skiing at Sunday River if you’re up for it…

Friday afternoon/evening arrival time is flexible, there will be a happy hour and MYA will be offering up yummy vegetarian soup and more whenever the time is right. If you need to come late, no worries, we’ll feed you :) Adventurers have a private home to lounge and relax in; the 1870 farm home is in the heart of downtown Bethel with 4 bedrooms that sleep 12 comfortably with 2 bathrooms. A fav amenity is the hot tub which adventurers can indulge in whenever they like.

We can experience all that the sweet small town has to offer just minutes away from the home. We’ll be close to Gould Academy which makes for a very nice, walkable neighborhood with many surrounding farm-style residences; our prime location is very close to the local grocery store and numerous delightful restaurants.

Once we get closer and know what the weather holds, adventurers can decide to bring along your cross-country skis (definitely downhill skis or a snowboard) or snowshoes and get on the trails about a 15 minute walk away. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in Bethel is lovely, the fat biking trails may be groomed as well. Adventurers can even pop over to Carter’s Cross-Country Ski Center for more beautiful trails. If you need gear, please let MYA know. Don’t forget your sense of humor, your best snowsuit, and your best Santa suit!

After a yoga practice, a delicious breakfast, and outdoors activities on Saturday, folks can head into town for some free time or hang in the hot tub or cozy up on the couch. MYA will be handling a second vegetarian dinner in the evening.

Sundayfunday we’ll get up early for breakfast and yoga, and head out to Sunday River in Newry, just a ten minute drive. In full Santa attire (red Santa hat with white pompom, red Santa jacket, red Santa pants and Santa beard), we will celebrate the arrival of winter and the upcoming holiday season with more than 250 Santas cruising down to South Ridge! All money raised benefits the River Fund, a non-profit organization that supports youth education and recreation in the Bethel area. MYA will register adventurers ahead of time (open Nov 28th so please be sure to register for this adventure well in advance).

Adventurers will be sure to show up at the scheduled photo shoot at 11am, slopeside at South Ridge all dressed up. After the photo shoot, we will all go up South Ridge Express and then ski down Broadway, a beginner-friendly green trail. After the parade down Broadway, your ticket can get validated for the rest of the day and will receive an additional lift ticket valid until Christmas Eve. Super excited, MYA has always wanted to get in on the Santa Sunday!

Don’t miss out on this crazy fun, yummy, relaxing weekend in beautiful Bethel and beyond. If you’d like to come but want to opt out of the downhill Santa portion, no worries, there will be lots of quality adventuring time without it and you can always watch Santas coming down the mountain from the bottom :)

Cost: $400, includes two nights accommodations, two vegetarian dinners & breakfasts, happy hour, daily yoga, snowga, hot tubbing, night strolling, Santa Sunday, good vibes, great company

Skye is a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor with years of experience and a belief that you can and you will; getting in shape shouldn’t be a punishment.

MYA & Skye have similar philosophies in finding the pleasurable side of fitness, perhaps a sore muscle or two along the way, the amount of fun and levels of energy you will experience will far exceed the discomfort. Skye will lead adventurers into a Dance Fitness class (with disco ball!), a high energy dance workout. Although choreographed, you do not need to be a dancer to enjoy. Moves are fun and easy to follow. Adventurers will have a blast dancing together; please feel free to get into your favorite 80’s workout gear!

Post all of that working out, adventurers will get a gentle yoga practice, stretching out any tight places. After lying on the floor comfy cozy with an appetite nicely built up, we’ll get into a spread of vegetarian favorites to replenish bodies, minds & spirits.

Hiking & Picnicking: Mount Chase Adventure

Don’t miss out on a super fab Sundayfunday! MYA is taking on the gorgeous waterfall trail to the summit of Mount Chase and enjoying a gourmet vegetarian picnic post hike. Yoga will happen spontaneously throughout the adventure :)

The adventure begins at the Mount Chase waterfall trailhead, adventurers will be carpooling and making sure that no one gets lost along the way. We’ll get in some yoga to get us ready for the hike which can be steep and scrambly in sections; please know that this hike can be strenuous but adventurers will be taking their time breathing in the beauty.

The 1.7-mile trail (one way) begins at the intersection of Mountain Road and the Shin Pond ATV trail. MYA is opting for the waterfall trail which will link to the mountain trail and Eagle’s Point is an offshoot trail to another pretty view that we can decide to take in the moment (weather & energy levels to consider). Just know that the hike will be under 5 miles. No matter what, the views are spectacular up top with Katahdin & fellow mountains in the distance.

Mount Chase was the site of a fire tower for many years; two towers have been built on the summit. The first built in 1909 was a wooden structure then replaced with a sixteen-foot steel tower that was removed in 2001. The old fire warden’s cabin comes into view along the way as well as the cabin where the watchmen lived which has fallen into major disarray but is super cool to take a look at. The are plenty of places to pause, there’s no rush up the mountain.

Adventurers will picnic at Lower Shin Pond and if time permits, take a short hike into Shin Falls; a fifteen minute hike to a 30 foot waterfall is very enticing!

Cost: $45. includes yummy food, yoga, wicked hikes, fab views & all around good vibes

Wining & Vibing: Portugal Adventure

Calling it full my friends - thanks so much! If you really want in please contact Holly at 207-299-0082 and we’ll chat :)

Join MYA on our second epic adventure to Portugal! We’ll take in the local culture as we explore spectacular beaches, mountains, historic towns, castles, cheese shops, wine cellars & beyond…

MYA will be enjoying an elevated eight acre private property in the Parque Natural da Arrábida with magnificent views of the sea and mountains. Our breathtaking home is less than 3 miles from Castelo de Palmela, a castle situated between the estuaries of the River Tagus and Sado River, near the mouth of the latter; also part of the Costa Azul (blue coast). We’ll adventure to stunning beaches in the area that are about a 15 minute drive from the property.

The Setúbal peninsula, authentic (not ravaged by tourists yet), is known for good wine, Azeitao cheese, and cakes! Lisbon, full of charm, history and vibrant cuisine, is only 30 minutes away and Sintra, a wee bit further on, is a sweet town in a green mountainscape of palaces, country estates, parks and a medieval castle.

Adventurers will have plenty of space in a beautiful house with eight bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, and a panoramic outdoor jacuzzi; views for days from every perspective. There’s a lovely pool and plenty of options indoors & out for our daily yoga practice, if the vibe is right we’ll get in an evening practice as well. Beyond the doorstep are great trails to stroll and take in more sights…

Located next to the sea, Arrábida Natural Park has incomparable beauty where the blue of the sea alternates with the white tones of chalk cliffs and the depths of green vegetation covering the mountains. In addition to the Arrábida range is the Serra do Risco with the highest peak along the Portuguese mainland coast, a magnificent cliff measuring 380m high that overlooks the sea.

Adventurers will visit the beaches of Figueirinha, Galapos and the Portinho da Arrábida with fine sand and transparent waters much like the Mediterranean. Ribeira do Cavalo is one of the best secluded beaches in Portugal which we’ll hike into through the surrounding mountains to take in the calmness of the water. Praia dos Galapinhos is a must see dreamy beach with clear waters & white sand surrounded by lush vegetation. Praia das Bicas is accessed by a long wooden stair case, a perfect spot to watch the sunset or simply play in the waves. Adventurers may find Argil, a type of green clay, that's used as a natural skin treatment.

Adventurer birders will be compelled to visit the Sado Estuary Natural Reserve. The wildlife park is home to an astonishing variety of bird species; around 220 have been recorded in open water, shallow lagoons, reed-beds, and across mud flats. The estuary is an important wintering ground for razorbill, marsh harrier, flamingo, purple heron, and black-winged stilt, among many others. Let’s go - don’t forget your binos!

Arrábida has excellent conditions for farming and produces high-quality products including the wines that we’ll discover on the Costa Azul wine route and the delicious cheeses we’ll sample in the town of Azeitão. MYA will keep a supply of Portuguese wines & cheeses at the house as well that we can sample at our leisure.

Outside of our area, we’ll adventure to Lisbon & Sintra to take in sights, get in a hike or two, and eat some yummy food, and head to fairytale castles. Adventurers can help build the excursion :)

All of the breakfasts are covered by MYA, we’ll have five vegetarian dinners at the house and two out on the town so that we can take in the local experience. Anna will be our super fab cook throughout our stay! Lunches are up to adventurers, either leftovers or stopping in a town. The MYA offerings will be vegetarian and any and all food allergies or preferences will be honored.

We filled up super quick last time around! Don’t miss out on adventuring to Portugal to take in nature, towns and cities rich in history, yoga practices with beautiful views, delicious vegetarian food, gorgeous beaches, exhilarating hikes, tasty wine (& cheese!!!), hot tubbing, and so much more.

Cost: $2200 single bed, shared room;

$2400 solo king bed, private room; $3600 shared king bed, private room (total cost for 2)

$2600 solo king bed private room w/ bathroom; $3800 shared king bed, private room w/ bathroom (total cost for 2)

To book your space, a deposit of $1000 or the full amount can be made via Venmo (@maineyogaadventures_) or check in the mail or via credit card here...

Please be sure to review the cancellation policy - thank you! Feel free to reach out to Holly with any questions or concerns…

Beaches & Mountains of Abruzzo: Italy Adventure

Sold out - thanks adventurers!

MYA is taking on gorgeous Italy again but in a different locale, we’re headed to Abruzzo, the green lung of Europe!, for the outstanding countryside, medieval towns, stunning mountains, parks & nature reserves, and awesome beaches. Adventurers will stay seven nights in a beautiful villa nicely placed to explore all of the region’s fabulousness along with plenty of yoga, vegetarian food, and excursions. Apologies, there is very limited space on this adventure…

Our villa is in a perfect peaceful location, we can walk to the nearby village and we’re just a fifteen minute drive from Giulianova, a thriving town on the sea near the mouth of the Tordino river with one of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast. Adventures will relax in the countryside with a private pool, gardens, and open views across the valleys towards hilltop towns and the majestic Gran Sasso, the highest mountain in the Apennine range.

There are six bedrooms in the modern and spacious villa designed over three floors with a sun terrace on each level to enjoy the different aspects from its elevated location. The covered outdoor corridor on the ground and first floors provide a shaded walkway that keeps the living area and bedrooms cool. Across the central lawn with a shady olive tree and leafy Mulberry tree is the old farm house which adds lots of character to the overall villa vibe. Wifi is available.

The nearby village of Mosciano Sant' Angelo provides all amenities, as well as a weekly market with local produce. During July, Mosciano and the surrounding villages host various summer festas, food nights and concerts, all just a five minute drive away. There is a fabulous traditional restaurant just a short stroll down the lane with fantastic food and views across Giulianova to the sea.

Mosciano Sant'Angelo is a fascinating medieval village, it owes its name to the cult of the Archangel Michael and can be admired from afar with its panorama of buildings including the famous Torre degli Acquaviva (water tower). This is a sweet area dominated by the view of olive groves and vineyards from which the excellent Montepulciano wine is born. Walking through its streets you can breathe history and spirituality and from here we could leave for horseback excursions in the surrounding nature. What do you think adventurers, shall we ride?!

An MYA cook, will take care of all of our breakfasts and four to five dinners, all vegetarian, whipping up the freshest most local ingredients with delightful Italian flair. Adventurers will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy meals outside of the villa, from the restaurant across the street and beyond.

Along with the daily yoga practice and an occasional evening flow under the stars, we’ll travel beyond our villa and local village to soak in more of Abruzzo. There will be a day of wine tasting; we can visit three local wineries mixed in with sightseeing and strolling. We can plan a day trip to Rome if adventurers are interested. Adventurers can venture into the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park about an hour away, if we leave early enough we can get in a hike before it gets too hot.

Roccascalegna, a perfectly preserved medieval village, lying on the spur of the mountain with its 16th century castle rising on a rock of limestone, has to be seen to be believed. Also on our list is Scanno within Abruzzo National Park, deemed one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. A visit to Bugnara, another super sweet hillside village and Catignano, will be tossed in with a visit to the seaside for cool dipping. There’s going to be a lot of gorgeous sights to take in!

Don’t miss out on a fantastic adventure in Abruzzo Italy! Adventurers will fly into Rome (leaving the US on the 21st) and meet up with Machelle and her daughter to be driven to the lovely villa where Holly and her two boys & more adventurers will greet you with open arms.

Cost: $2600 twin bed, shared room; $4800 king bed, private room, total cost for two adventurers

To book your space a deposit of $1600 per adventurer or the full amount can be made via Venmo (@maineyogaadventures_) or a check in the mail or purchase below...

Together, a perfect pairing, and the perfect place for each adventurer to partake in their own flight be it cider or wine. If you’d like to purchase your fav beverage to go, feel free, the MYA family has because Stone Tree’s wine is amazing and meant to be savored both in person and at home :)

Bald Mountain Sunset Hike

Join MYA on a Sunday evening (Memorial Day weekend) to hike up Bald Mountain enjoying spectacular views along the way to the summit. We’ll get in a yoga practice, eat yummy vegetarian snacks, and watch a fabulous sunset…

There is quite an incline right from the get-go but no worries we’ll go slow turning around to take in the view and making plenty of stops to listen to birds and trilling frogs. After about forty-five minutes we’ll be at the summit to explore some of the sweetness that surrounds us both nearby and off in the distance.

Adventurers will get in a light-hearted yoga practice as the light begins to shift towards sunset. Post stretching it’ll be food time, MYA will hike up some goodness for our bellies!

Then we’ll settle in to watch the show (bring your summit beer if you’re into it!), hopefully we’ll get a dramatic sky with a few drifting clouds and a glowing red orb as it sinks below the horizon line. As the darkness gets heavier, we can watch the sky fill with constellations. Eventually we’ll pop on our headlamps, or cell phone lights, and slowly make our way back down.

Cost: $40 includes hiking buddies, good views, delicious snacks, yoga, sunset, starry night sky (dramatic sky subject to the whims of weather)

We’ll take our time, drinking water, eating snacks, and soaking up the natural beauty. Some spontaneous yoga can happen along the way.

After the mountain visit, adventurers will grab some snacks and head down the bluffs trail to enjoy a quick dip of toes in the lake. Our adventure will then continue over to Echo Lake Beach just down the road aways where MYA will spread out the vegetarian food for yummy relaxation time. Any daring souls are welcome to bring their bathing suit and dive in, the outside temps should be high 60s with mostly sunny skies but the water temp, well, that’s another thing entirely. If we have the energy left, we’ll get in a yoga practice on the soft sand :)

Acadia Mtn Hiking & Spiral Goddess Vibing Adventure

Canceled! Sorry friends, had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. Hope to see you soon on another adventure, look out for two pop-ups in May!!!

Join MYA in stunning Acadia National Park for an amazing hike up Acadia Mountain followed up by vegetarian food & slow, fluid spiral goddess movement in Bangor…

Adventurers will carpool as much as possible and gather at the Acadia Mountain trailhead in Acadia, along route 102 across from Echo Lake. The moderately strenuous hike is a little less than three mile loop, just a bit of scrambling in spots with gorgeous views. We’ll take our time, drinking water, eating snacks, and soaking up the natural beauty. We’ll get in a bit of yoga along the way. Adventurers can opt to grab to some snacks and follow up the hike with a quick dip of toes in the lake.

We’ll then head out of Acadia to downtown Bangor to the lovely Spiral Goddess Collective, a Center for Mind/Body Movement with 4th-floor views of the Kenduskeag River and surrounding area. MYA is super excited to partner with founder & visionary Sarah Hentges, who offers up weekly classes and monthly workshops that combine movement and music in unique and creative ways that are trauma-informed and open to a diversity of minds/bodies that require no previous experience.

Sarah wears many hats at the SGC and beyond. In addition to being a professor at UMA Bangor, she has taught a variety of fitness and yoga classes for over 25 years and for more than a decade in Bangor, on college campuses, at non-profit community centers, the YMCA, and gyms. For a long time she has dreamed of having her own space and doing her own thing, but she never thought something like The Spiral Goddess Collective would be possible. And then suddenly it was.

MYA will serve up a vegetarian spread to adventurers as they get cozy and relax into the space. With happy bellies we’ll explore our spiritual paths through Oracle card readings with Sarah leading us eventually to slow movement on the floor (literally lying down); a sweet calming dance of embodiment to finish up an awesome adventure.

Cost: $60 including hiking in Acadia, yoga practices, vegetarian food, card readings, relaxing movement, good vibes, great people

All will get instructed in the basics and then set free to play exciting games together. Feel free to come if you already have experience with pickleball, you’ll enjoy watching us stumble, laugh, and learn; and, if you don’t have any experience, definitely come!

Feel free to bring your own paddle if you have one and have fun dressing for the courts, if you don’t have pickleball equipment, no worries, ATC will hook you up.

Then we’ll get into Barre which fuses the best of Pilates, yoga, aerobics, and elements from the strengthening exercises from dance. It is not only fun and dynamic, but will sculpt your body as well. Adventurers will definitely get an idea of how HIIT can make improvements in your posture, flexibility, overall body strength, and balance. You do not need any dance experience, Skye will teach with the intent of progression and a safe approach. All will feel challenged, yet consciously aware of what is right for your body; you’ll find the strength of a dancer within you.

Then it’s stretchy yoga time! Holly will lead adventurers into a sweet gentle flow followed up by FOOD…yummy vegetarian tasty treats. With happy bodies & bellies, adventurers will hit the bar in downtown Bangor, our bar of choice along the stroll. Beverage time is up to adventurers, cheers!

Spring Fever Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

Heads ups, I changed the date from Sunday to sunny Saturday!

MYA is so ready to get on the trails at Acadia before all the tourists do! It’s spring and that means fabulous spring hiking in Maine’s National Park; this time adventurers will take on Sargent Mountain with stunning views and even a waterfall along the way…

Adventurers are looking at a 4.5 mile loop hike along the Hadlock Brook Trail, up to the summit and over to the Maple Spring Trail back down. We’ll come prepared with microspikes in case of an icy patch or two. The beginning of the trail is a slow, gradual climb alongside the brook and after roughly half a mile, the trail reaches the famous waterfall bridge and the Around-Mountain Carriage Road, its skewed arch perfectly frames the beautiful Hadlock Falls, one of the few waterfalls in the park. The hike will get a bit more intense with a steadier climb post falls but no worries, we’ll take our time breathing in the beauty (plenty of water and snack breaks!). At the summit we’ll go for some relaxation and a yoga flow, the length of which will be very weather dependent.

To head down we’ll hop on the maple ridge, a lesser used magical trail that travels alongside a stream as well. Please note, if this trail is closed, there are other options to bring us down :) Lovely portions of the carriage trail will be visited along with bridges, one of which is the hemlock bridge, another beauty. Adventurers will enjoy the stream crossings and the glacial formations along the way.

After hiking adventurers will enjoy some vegetarian food, feel free to bring along your fav beverage.

Let’s celebrate spring with a hike to bring in the season!

Cost: $45 including a gorgeous hike, a yoga practice, yummy food, good vibes
