White Sand Beaches & Snorkeling: St. Croix USVI Adventure

  • St. Croix United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

For this winter’s island getaway, MYA has chosen tropical bliss on gorgeous St. Croix, a Caribbean Island with outstanding white sand beaches, turquoise waters, healthy coral ecosystems, and lush rainforest. Adventurers will spend seven nights in a villa surrounded by nature, enjoying daily yoga, scrumptious island eats, chill beach time, snorkeling (diving if you have the certification & gear), hiking, volunteering at a park, and more…

St. Croix is home to the Buck Island Reef National Monument, one of only three underwater national monuments in the states. Snorkelers and scuba divers can explore an underwater trail of protected coral reef, take in the native flora and fauna, and hopefully catch sight of a hawksbill turtle and brown pelican. Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge is another must visit locale, a hotspot for threatened and endangered species with the longest and most pristine beach in the Caribbean.

MYA’s accommodations for seven nights are in a private oasis, a serenity lover’s paradise. Our hillside villa is tucked away in the trees surrounded by lush landscaping, colorful tropical flowers, and banana and mango trees, creating a vibe adventurers won’t forget.

Our group will spread out into five bedrooms with beautiful views. The ceiling fans and air conditioning will keep adventurers comfortable. One of the king bedrooms with ensuite bathroom has massive windows and vaulted ceilings bringing the beauty of the island right into the room. On the second level of the home, there is another king bedroom with ensuite bath and balcony. The other three bedrooms, two king beds and one queen, are artfully decorated for luxurious sleeping experiences for friends or couples to share or solo visitors to spread out. Holly is happy to share one of the king rooms with another adventurer!

On the lower-level deck is the pool with plenty of lounge chairs and unbelievable views, the only reason you may need to go inside is to get something delicious from the expansive and sun-filled kitchen.

Although we don’t have hiking trails at the villa, Cane Bay is just one mile away known for its atmosphere and excellent snorkeling. When we’re not lounging at the villa or at the beach, adventurers can explore historic sites and lovely botanical gardens. There are two main towns, Christiansted and Frederiksted, that have a colonial feel with arched, shaded walkways and sorbet-colored buildings.

We’ll be sure to watch the sunrise at Point Udall, the easternmost point of the US then head to the Saturday Farmers Market at the Agriculture Fair Grounds to check out the produce, sauces, spices, and jams as well as offerings of farm-to-table breakfast. Yum! Scoping out the quiet beaches near Frederiksted is definitely on the itinerary as well as exploring a few short & sweet hiking trails.

Optional time volunteering on the island for a few hours will be offered up either within the parks or beaches or an animal rescue organization.

Adventurers will enjoy a daily yoga practice. Most breakfasts will be at the villa whilst a few can be spent trying out the local cuisine. Four vegetarian dinners will be offered up by MYA on alternating eves. Lunches are always dependent on where the group finds itself, sometimes leftovers are available and we can pack picnics. MYA will keep a nice supply of healthy snacks at the villa for all.

Come and love up a true island experience on St. Croix in the U.S. virgin islands pouring that abundant sunshine into your heart space!

Cost: $4400/king shared (total cost 2 adventurers);

$3400/solo king *now $3000;

sold out $4000/queen shared (total cost 2 adventurers);

Quebec Winter Carnival Adventure

Quebec Winter Carnival Adventure

There’s only a sofa bed available at this point, but please don’t hesitate to reach out to Holly at 207-299-0082…

Come and enjoy an outdoor festival in Quebec’s winter wonderland with MYA! We’ll be there on opening night for Winter Carnival and stay a long weekend to get in all of the fun we possibly can. Enjoy outdoor snow inspired adventuring, yoga sessions, yummy vegetarian food, sweet accommodations in the old city, strolling, skating & sledding, and so much more…

One of our afternoons and/or eves can be spent at Valcartier, a wicked playground with an ice hotel, amazing tubing runs, a lit skateway, and an indoor waterpark. Adventurers get to decide how much they’d like to take on; a kind of choose your own adventure, riding a chill vibe or a do all the things vibe.

The winter carnival features super cool ice and snow sculptures, works of art made from giant blocks of snow and ice. These sculptures transform the city into a wonderful outdoor museum. The 100%-made-of ice Palace of Bonhomme is less than a 15 minute walk from our apartments. Bonhomme Carnaval, the snowman character, symbolizes the spirit of fun of this winter celebration. Every year the palace serves as a focal point for several Carnival activities.

There will also be the "Laser Game Evolution" at the Citadelle de Quebec, a magical night parade, and live music in a fairy-tale setting. Adventurers may like to watch the ice canoe racing, an extreme competitive sport where teams make multiple crossings of the frigid waters of the St. Lawrence River. 

Our excursion to Valcartier will be epic! We’ll visit the Hôtel de Glace (ice hotel) with art and wintertime spectacle greeting you as soon as you enter the Grand Hall. The rooms are decorated with majestic sculptures with each one touting a different theme. We may want to indulge in a delicious cocktail served in a glass made of ice!

It will be up to each individual adventurer if they’d like to partake in the water park, Bora Parc, a Polynesian-style park with a large wave pool, over 14 water slides, an adventure river, a double surf wave attraction, and a restaurant with terrace. Adventurers can soak in a tropical paradise in the middle of winter; the cost for an evening frolic is $44.

Tubing is another area of excitement that we may want to get in on as well! We can bring along our ice skates, skis, and snowshoes to get in lots of extra snow specific activities :) If adventurers want to go in a different direction or add it into the adventure, there’s a nordic spa thermal experience in Old Quebec that we may want to explore for ultimate relaxation (yesss please!).

Our accommodations for three nights will be in quaint old Quebec; two twin beds and a queen bed in the main gathering apartment and a king bed and sofa bed in the second apartment. A third apartment can be rented if more space is necessary. The 19th century property is located directly on the famous rue Saint-Jean in the heart of the hustle and bustle of the Upper Town. The rooms have a spacious and bright character but best of all, views of historic Old Québec can be enjoyed from the roof-top terrace. With restaurants & pubs very close by, the Citadelle de Quebec is .6 mi away and the Chapel Museum of French America is 3 mi away.

Daily yoga will be offered up as well as outdoor snowga! Yummy vegetarian breakfasts, dinners, and happy hours will be served by MYA, lunches will be up to adventurers out on the town. The add-ons of spas, tubing, waterpark etc. will be up to adventurers, if we have consensus, tickets can be purchased ahead of time.

Don’t miss out on a wicked fun long weekend in a beautiful place with the quaint coolness of a European city to celebrate the wonderland that is the Quebec Winter Carnival!

Cost: $450/sofa bed; $500/twin; $600/solo queen; $800/shared queen (total cost for two); $900/shared king (total cost for two)

*all sold out with the exception of the sofa bed

Norway Adventure: Oslo, Saunas & Lit Skies

MYA will be exploring Norway at the perfect time to get in some city vibes, spa bliss Scandinavian style, catching the lights dancing across the skies, and cross-country skiing on beautifully groomed trails (or snowshoeing). We’ll have accommodations in Oslo and further afield to take in the countryside, enjoy having a vegetarian cook, MJ, whipping up delicious meals, and of course daily yoga with Holly. Crossing our fingers for late March snow!

Our first three eves will be spent in a luxury apartment in the embassy district in the heart of Frogner; beautiful placement to explore the city of Oslo. Large windows bring in lots of light into the apartment and the floor heating in all rooms will keep us warm during the chillier days.

Adventurers will have plenty of relaxation space with two lovely living rooms, two fireplaces, two balconies, 2.5 bathrooms, three bedrooms and one office (or small bedroom). The apartment is in a well-kept traditional building from 1910 yet fully modernized; the height and ornamentations of the ceilings pay tribute to the original style of the apartment.

MJ will make full use of the modern, fully equipped kitchen (including a built-in coffee machine). In a short walk we can find restaurants, local food shops (cheese!), the famous Vigeland Park with over 200 sculptures, and public transportation. Within 15-20 minutes walk you reach the castle and the main street Karl Johan. The bus will bring us to the center of Oslo in few minutes.

So much to do in our three eves in the city! We will hit the Oslo Fjord Sauna for sure and decide if we’d like to partake in the Thief Spa or Salt Spa right in the city. Or, we may decide to hop a train for an hour to The Well spa experience (not included in price: $50-$60 plus price of hr long trainride) with 11 different pools, 15 different saunas and steam baths, waterfalls, Japanese bathhouse with onsen, oriental hamam, and rhassoul.

Adventurers will go strolling, visiting the Munch museum, sculpture viewing, sauna drop ins, perhaps skiing, sledding, and park snowga if the weather is right. Let’s hope for SNOW! We’ll soak up all the goodness & fabulousness from Oslo.

Following the city excitement, adventurers will take the train to Lillehammer (incl in cost) to enjoy strolling and lunch. We’ll then switch over to two cars to make the drive, about a 1/2 hr, to the countryside. We’ll have our private dreamy cabin at Natrudstilen, Sjusjøen with fabulous views towards both Jotunheimen and Norefjell, and most importantly, a hot tub!

We can truly enjoy the paradise outdoors knowing that we have plenty of indoor relaxation spaces, another well-equipped kitchen, living room, dining room, and sleeping areas. The cabin is perfectly located for skiing in/out to the alpine slope and to the famous nordic trail network in Sjusjøen; just a short walk away is the ski center where we can get our rentals (skis or snowshoes).

We can explore the little town and the trails alongside the lake; also not far from the cabin is dogsledding! This is another experience along with skiing that will be up to adventurers, MYA can book the dogsledding (about $165 per person) once we have our numbers.

Let’s hope we get three wonderful eves of clear skies with the northern lights dancing just above us! More snowga with lots of soaking in between. All will definitely delight in more yummy hot meals from MJ after we come in from all the fun we can have in the great outdoors.

On Sunday, we’ll leave our cabin behind and head to one more locale that is sure to be unique and cozy. We’ll let our cars go, have another ride on the train to head a little north of Oslo to spend the night in two micro-houses on a historic property with the magistrate’s residence from 1921. The micro-houses of which there are four were designed by architect Benedicte Sund-Matisen, SUMA arkitektur, in Nordic contemporary architectural style. It is green throughout with local labor and the materials used such as green sedum mats on the roof. There is also a sauna on the property that MYA will get access to, yay!

Don’t miss out on a crazy good time in and around Oslo as we drink in all of the Norwegian fabulousness that we can! Please note that if you're coming from the US, we'll be flying out on Sunday to arrive on Monday to Oslo :)

Cost: $2500/single bed; $3400/solo double or queen; $4400/shared double or queen, price for two adventurers

Includes: three fab unique accommodations, all breakfasts, 5 vegetarian dinners, daily yoga, train to Lillihammer and back towards Oslo, saunas, hot tub as per accommodation, good vibes!

Grand Hikes & Epic Sites: Arizona Adventure

Only 1 spot left!

Join MYA for eight days of fabulous hiking in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, ghosting in Jerome, chillin’ in Scottsdale, eating homemade vegetarian cuisine, yogifying, and so much more! Limited spots available…

Come together with Holly, founder of MYA and Sarah, our fab cook, as we take on some of the most gorgeous sites in Arizona. Adventurers will fly into Phoenix where we can spend some time at the desert botanical garden with plenty of open spaces for yoga and relaxing. Flights are booked on American Airlines and we’re more than happy to share the details with interested parties.

After taking in the gardens, we’ll head to Sedona, a sacred and powerful place where one can experience the mysterious cosmic forces that are said to emanate from the red rocks. We’ll settle into a beautiful sunset and happy hour.

Our comfy lux abode has wonderful access to hiking trails and is just a short walk to the iconic Chapel of the Holy Cross. We’ll be perfectly situated for three nights in a quiet Sedona neighborhood. Just a seven minute drive away, we can partake in sunrise yoga at the iconic Bell Rock then hike it.

When we're not out exploring, we’ll put our feet up and relax in the spacious hot tub, our comfortable seating area with views of Cathedral Rock, and the outdoor dining space. Indoors we can enjoy foosball, ping pong, and an authentic juke box. We’ll be experiencing Sedona in all of the ways!

Not far from our home is Jerome, a super cool mining town, where if adventurers are up for it, we can book a ghost tour. The range in cost is about $50-$100, Holly is game if you are!

We’ll still have time for more hiking, devils bridge with a cool arch is on the list as well as the iconic West Fork of Oak Creek, part of the Coconino National Forest. It is composed of an extraodinary ecosystem that gives it it’s captivating allure. Think canyon, creek, woods, and natural wonders all in 6.75 miles of worthwhile explorations.

After Sedona’s enchanting vibe and the special healing qualities of it’s vortex energy, we’ll move further north to more outstanding sites. MYA has booked a sweet spot to explore the Grand Canyon and all of it’s fabulousness for three nights so that we can get in sunrise on the rim and sunset surrounded by unfathomable beauty.

Located on the closest private property only a few minutes from the park, adventurers will settle into a home with plenty of space, two living rooms (one with a sweet fireplace and southwest decor), five bedrooms, and three bathrooms. Very private and quiet, we’ll be surrounded by nature and wildlife, nestled into our own little world only a minute off the highway to the Grand Canyon.

The large country kitchen will be delightful for Sarah to make the culinary magic happen. After gorgeous sunsets, we can enjoy the local nightlife with quiet evenings around the fireplace. The area encompassing the canyon is incredibly dreamy, surreal in fact.

We’ll explore the Grand Canyon as much as possible during our stay just outside the park then come to find peace, tranquility, and a beautiful star show at our mountain view home. A fire in the firepit will be a great spot to take it all in. The views are going to be outright stunning and our senses will surely be lit up from the mind-blowing landscapes of the canyon.

Having filled our beings with nature’s magnificence we will get to some quality volunteer time at a local animal shelter, High Country Humane, in Flagstaff. MYA will be happy to take on any tasks that they need that day as well as snuggling the animal residents. It’ll be difficult not to bring a fur baby home as it will be our last eve in Arizona!

After volunteering, we’ll travel to Scottsdale to spend time in the old town and at our fab pad with three hammocks, pool, and hot tub. From our living room and private backyard we’ll appreciate Camelback Mountain in all its glory. We’ll enjoy another fire pit and maybe a game or two of cornhole and/or shuffleboard. This home again has plenty of space with a modern open concept with four bedrooms (with dreamy memory foam mattresses) and three bathrooms with a cozy living room, and a nice kitchen.

Our drive to the airport the following day is not far, we’ll soak up as much goodness as we can before we have to say goodbye!

Throughout the adventure, MYA will offer up a yoga practice every morning either at our homestead or at our hiking location. If the timing is right, a nighttime practice isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Sarah will offer up vegetarian breakfasts and dinners with the exception of one night in Sedona and our last eve in Scottsdale. Lunches will be up to adventurers and our daily out & about schedule will help inform if we need to pack ourselves a personal picnic or stop in town.

Don’t miss out on this epic seven night adventure to Arizona packed full of amazing hikes & sites, yoga flows, food, good company, great vibes, and views & views & views!

Join MYA on an awesome hike up Tunk Mountain with views for days! It will be a beautiful spot to see the foliage as it’s starting to burst. We’ll visit a few ponds for dipping toes in and get in a yummy picnic with plenty of vegetarian tapas as well.

There are two sides to the summit to explore which makes the mountain even more unique and lovely.

After practicing some yoga on the immense rock slabs, adventurers will head out to the Hidden Ponds loop which is just as stunning as the summit trail without the added exertion of uphill. We’ll be sure to have our bathing suits packed just in case the weather lends itself to a dip. In total, the hike is 3.6 out & back and we’ll add in an extra mile for some extra non-strenuous goodness as we stroll the loop.

Two Peak Acadia Sundayfunday Hike

Let’s get outside & hike! Join MYA for another wicked awesome adventure with hiking in Acadia, mountaintop yoga, and a yummy vegetarian tailgate dinner…

Adventurers will take on Penobscot Mountain, our first sweet peak of the day, via the Spring Trail. Please note that this is a hike with outstanding views but it is strenuous. We’ll be taking our time and breathing in the beauty.

After yoga & snacks at the summit, we’ll continue hiking to Sargent Mountain, the 2nd highest peak in Acadia. Our loop will cross carriage roads with beautiful bridges. The hike is five miles in length and we’ll give ourselves six hours to get it done.

Our meet up point will be the Jordan Pond North lot (let’s carpool!), we’ll stroll to the boat launch and follow the shoreline path to the carriage road south which will lead us to the Spring Trail trailhead marker. Short diversion hikes are along the carriage roads, the 115-ft long West Branch Bridge and the stunning Cliffside Bridge.

Back on the Spring Trail we’ll begin to hit the cliffs with a few iron handrails and thick log fences along the way. No worries, these initial trials will subside to easier terrain.

Adventurers will take their time at the summit, enjoying some chill moments. Eventually we’ll descend Penobscot into a small forested valley. As we ascend the other side, we’ll take in an enchanting isolated pond before the Sargent South Ridge Trail. Let’s dip our feet in!

After enjoying the summit of Sargent we’ll connect with our return trail, the East Cliffs Trail heading back towards Jordan Pond. The next stretch, the Deer Brook Trail, is a fairly rugged trail that follows a small stream; we’ll be on the lookout for exposed tree roots. At the carriage road is another wondrous bridge, the Deer Brook Bridge where we can continue down the trail to the scenic Jordan Pond Path or if head out quickly on the carriage road south back to the Jordan Pond House and parking areas.

Post hike, we’ll break into a tasty spread. MYA is hoping to catch a glimpse of the big moon that evening, not quite full but bound to be lovely.

* Please note, if two peaks are too much for you, you could hike Penobscot Mtn with us then head back down slowly to the car and we’d meet back up with you there for food time :)

Come join the MYA community on a Sundayfunday with all of the goodness of getting outside and enjoying quality time together…

Cost: $45

includes hiking in Acadia, mountaintop yoga flow, tasty food, great views & good vibes

Pack Raft & Hike: Hirundo Adventure

Pack Raft & Hike: Hirundo Adventure

Come on a truly unique adventure as MYA partners with local small business Packraft Maine at Hirundo Wildlife Refuge. Join us for a fun exploration of the refuge with the help of a new way to get out on the water, Packraft Maine! We will explore the streams and woods, paddling, hiking & yogifying. Adventurers will also get in lots of yummy vegetarian food picnic style.

The adventure begins at Hirundo’s canoe launch in Old Town. With over 2,400 acres of pristine natural wilderness, seven miles of walking trails, and educational activities for all ages, Hirundo Wildlife Refuge is a true gem. Whether on the water or in the woods, there’s much to enjoy, learn and witness as this refuge works to protect the land, bird populations and other wildlife.

Adventures will ready themselves for paddling on the stream with some movement. Then we will inflate our packrafts, embark, and head downstream. But what is a packraft? Packrafts are small lightweight inflatable boats paddled with a kayak paddle. No experience, no worries, you’ll get guided instruction the whole way through. They easily pack up to fit inside a backpack. Yes, we will get a chance to utilize that super cool feature.

Paddling about a mile down Pushaw Stream offers a mix of slow waters with beaver dens and quick water with waves and current to play in. We are likely to see birds including Eagles, Herons, Kingfishers, and maybe even beavers or muskrats. Arriving downstream we will deflate our boats and get in more stretching and a lovely picnic. With full bellies and stretched out bodies, we’ll pack up for our hike. Using Hirundo’s trails system we will make our way back up to the start. The hike will be between 1.5 and 2.5 miles depending on the trails we choose to explore. 

Don’t miss out on this wonderful Sundayfunday blend of outdoor activities! All are welcome.

Cost: $65 including paddling, hiking, yoga, picnic, good vibes

Blissful Immersion: Copenhagen Adventure

Blissful Immersion: Copenhagen Adventure

  • Copenhagen Denmark (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

One spot opened up!

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/available ON SALE $2000; $3000/king bed solo/$4000/sold out king bed shared/sold out

Adirondacks Hiking, Picnic & Slide Adventure

Adirondacks Hiking, Picnic & Slide Adventure

MYA is off to Upstate New York’s beautiful Tupper Lake region in the heart of the Adirondacks to connect with family, get outside, and explore. Join tree huggers Holly & her mom Mary Anne on two wonderful hikes from the Tupper Lake Triad. We’ll get sweet views with yoga sprinkled in along the way. A vegetarian gourmet picnic will be in the mix as well as a dip in the cool waters of Bog River Falls. If you’re a local or visiting from away, come join in on the fun…

The adventure begins at the Coney Mountain Trailhead, a 2.1-mile hike out and back. Generally considered a moderately challenging route albeit gentle, we’ll take our time and as we summit we’ll enjoy the spectacular views. Yoga stretching and snacks will be enjoyed before we head back down.

Next up is the Goodman Mountain Trailhead, literally a minute down the road, an easy three mile out and back hike that begins on an old road through the forest. The steep slopes and cliffs of Goodman will be on our left as the trail leaves the road and begin a gentle climb approaching the summit. The grade is never very steep. The views up top are beautiful and again, a lil more yoga stretching and snacks.

Please note! If you’d like to only partake in the second hike, no problem, adventurers can meet us at the trailhead of Goodman at 10am.

Post hiking we’ll enjoy the natural water slide near an iconic old stone bridge at the southern point of Big Tupper Lake where the Bog River flows in. Bog River Falls is an enchanting site, created via a natural arrangement of cascading levels. The upper falls split around a small island, while the lower and steeper portion of the falls travel under the bridge.

For the fabulous swimming hole, adventurers will head upstream along the short trail to the left side of the bridge. The slide leads down to the middle pool area where you can easily swim out and repeat over and over again! MYA will set up the vegetarian picnic with foods sourced as locally as possible before we slide on our butts down the river! Please know that all levels of activity are welcome, you can opt out of any portion of our adventure and simply relax and enjoy the scenery.

Don’t miss out on a lovely day in nature with good vibes and great people in a truly special place!

Cost: $45 includes hiking, yoga, picnic

Puerto Rico Vibe & Volunteer Adventure

  • San Juan Puerto Rico (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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…

The city forest is a wonderful area to ride, great scenery with both tight & wide trails. Adventurers will take their time soaking in the natural world and fresh air.

Post biking, we’ll pause for some sweet yoga stretches and then hit Holly’s other craving, good ol’ bantering (and beer of course!); the day before father’s day is the perfect time to get out all of the angst. We’ll head from the forest to Black Bear Brewing in downtown Orono, a fabulous place for fresh brewed beer (or your beverage of choice) and delicious snacks. Holly is happy to purchase adventurers a beverage and share some yummy eats.

Broadway Dance Workshop Are you a fan of Fosse? Have you always dreamed of being a Rockette? Or perhaps Nathan Lane is your hero? Then this adventure is for you! We’ll learn the basics of Broadway dance style (jazz hands, anyone?), develop an understanding of formations, and even learn a kick-less kick line (don’t worry, old hammies)! No prior dance experience necessary, just bring along your sense of adventure and your sense of humor.

We’ll all need a lovely dose of Wine Yoga afterwards! Sip on Amy Whitmore’s fabulous homemade wine (no yukky additives) and get in some much needed stretching, laughing, and relaxing. Amy, an avid world traveler, is a 300 hour hatha, vinyasa, restorative, and yin yoga certified instructor with years of dance & fitness experience.

Absolutely no yoga experience is required, have no fear. Amy’s class is regularly scheduled at Eye Candy on Tuesday evenings at 7pm (now at 6pm) and we always have a great time; after you try this class, you’ll be addicted!

Of course we’ll close out the adventure with delicious vegetarian food served up by MYA :)

This will be MYA’s first time partaking in the delicious breakfast offered up at Peace, Love & Waffles and is happy to purchase your eats if they’re vegetarian, if not, no worries, if it’s meat you want, feel free. They have quite a selection of goodness on the menu. Settling into carpooling post fooding to slowly digest, we’ll head 20 minutes north to Peaks-Kenny State Park.

On the shores of Sebec Lake the state park is situated offering up visitors a peaceful, wooded setting for hiking, swimming (maybe?! bring your suit!) and picnicking. In the 839-acre park in the Central Maine Highlands, we’ll take in an area renowned for its natural beauty. Adventurers have options within the 10 mile trail network, the Cove Trail (0.7 miles) is a definite easy start leaving from the beach picnic area with a short loop through the woods. Birch Mountain Ledge Trail (2.5 miles roundtrip, about an hour & 15 min) can be put in the mix winding through mature forest to ledges atop Birch Mountain and/or Brown's Point Trail (5.5-mile roundtrip, 2 hours or so) with a more challenging hike through varied forested terrain. It’s nice to have options, we’ll see what the day has in store for us!

Adventurers will settle in beach side post hiking and get in a stretchy yoga flow. Then we’ll plop down on blankies to delight in some vegetarian picnic snacks. Another adventuring option will arise, either we can stop at Bissell Brothers Three Rivers Brewery & Tap Room on the way home, a 1/2 hr ride, or if you choose to simply end there, that’s perfectly fine. MYA has been wanting to check out that brewery real bad and it seems like a wonderful opportunity.

Bissell Brothers Three Rivers is located in a former snowmobile dealership in Milo, Maine, near the confluence of the Sebec and Piscataquis Rivers – two of the bodies that make up the town’s moniker and namesake of the facility. This brewery was built to focus on mixed-fermentation beers, wood aging, and spontaneous fermentation. The tap room’s large outdoor area features a refurbished 1922 caboose. Nice!

Cost: $55 includes yummy breakfast, vegetarian picnic eats, a beer, hiking, yoga outdoors, good vibes & great company…

Hike & Cheers: Cinco de Mayo Adventure

It’s time to get outside & hike! Join MYA for a wicked awesome adventure with hiking in Acadia, vibing with Mexican inspired eats, and more…

Adventurers will begin at Eagle Lake Road at the Acadia National Park entrance. We’ll walk through the gate and across the bridge to head out on the Kebo Brook Trail until we access the North Ridge trail to Cadillac Mountain. Such a popular trail but not as much with school still in session - we should be able to take in the sweet views from the top without bumping elbows with tourists :) The hike is a moderate 4.5 mile (we add in a little extra for the summit loop and busting out some yoga moves) out-and-back.

Post hike, we’ll find a nice quiet spot for picnicking and break into a sweet tasty spread. MYA is offering up homemade vegetarian Mexican/TexMex food for adventurers. Tecate, a yummy cerveza, will taste really good after working hard on the trail as will a 7 layer dip, bean & cheese tamales, and perhaps a big batch of margaritas! Cheers!

Come join the MYA community on a Sundayfunday with all of the goodness of getting outside and enjoying food together…

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…

Cost: $2400 twin bed (sold out); $2900/queen bed solo; $4200/queen bed shared

Volunteer, Snowga & Soak Adventure

Join MYA as they team up with the Bangor Humane Society for some volunteer work then tailgate with super yummy vegetarian food, play in the snow with either snowshoes or cross-country skis, enjoy snowga (yoga in the snow), and chill in the sauna & hot tub...

The adventure begins at the Bangor Humane Society who champions the humane treatment and adoption of companion animals, providing quality care for homeless pets. Since their beginnings in 1869 they serve over 200 communities in Maine facilitating the human-animal bond by re-homing and rehabilitating homeless pets through adoption and promoting animal welfare through education and advocacy.

MYA will join in their fast tract volunteer program. We’ll be put to work sweeping, mopping, or doing laundry and dishes. There may be some doggie and kitty snuggling sprinkled in as well. A portion of the adventure proceeds will go to the Bangor Humane Society.

Post volunteer work, we’ll change our clothes and head to Orono for some fun at the UMAINE rec center. Adventurers will partake in tasty vegetarian soup & hot chocolate, take a moment to digest, then hit the trails. The choice is yours to either cross-country ski (a loop that takes 45 min or so) or snowshoeing. If the trails aren’t great for either (lack of snow) we can take a sweet walk in the woods. 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.

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to give back and do good at the humane society, eat yummy food, have fun outdoors, and get in some sweet heated lounging time!

Cost: $65
