We'll meet up at a private camp just across the street from the old elementary school. The surrounding fields are quite pretty and we'll head out to more trails from there...

Join Maine Yoga Adventures on a return adventure to gorgeous Nosara, Costa Rica! This special place will enchant your heart & soul. Surfing, yoga, nature in abundance, yummy food, good people, new friendships, and more await.
Dori McCormick Photography
Nosara, is a small bumpy roaded village in the Nicoya Peninsula, on the northwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Its remoteness has long kept the crowds away, but surfers, yogis and adventurers know it’s special and have been making pilgrimages there for years.
Enjoy a full week of adventuring at our private oasis Casa De Alces - luxurious, tropical, and inspiring. We'll have this spectacular space to ourselves to truly share an extraordinary experience together.
So many ways to relax with the open air rancho style property boasting several lounging areas, multiple fountains, lush landscaping, two strategically placed outdoor showers to rinse off in, and an amazing saltwater pool to slide into and soothe yourself from the sun & heat. An added design speciality to the pool is the convenient swim up tiki bar and I'm sure MYA will be happy to share some refreshments with you!
Another appealing aspect of our casa is the second floor open space perfect for yoga sessions, ease of movement and bringing our community together. A lovely spot for gentle partner yoga! Past adventurers loved using balcony railings for stretching and we can certainly make that happen again...
Our cook will have two fully equipped custom kitchens with stainless steel appliances, one outdoors and one indoors to work her magic. Sophia Palange, professional cook, will whip up artful, tantalizing meals that maintain a local fresh sensibility full of flavor. She'll have a lot more space to create this time around!
Adventurers will have full access to the kitchens as well. Mixing up smoothies is all part of the Nosara vibe!
The casa has seven bedrooms consisting of three master suites (2 king, 1 queen), one double queen casita, single queen private casita, single queen bedroom and a queen bunkbed room are available for adventurers.
The beach, with a completely undeveloped and ecologically dense shoreline, is just a stroll away. Birding is incredible as well as sightings of howler monkeys, butterflies, dragonflies, iguanas, crabs, geckos, cool foxlike Costa Rican squirrels, etc. The buzzing of bees in the bright tropical flowers is heard alongside the sounds of the surf.

Adventurers will be moments away from one of the best surfing beaches in the world in Playa Guiones. Beginner surfers and more advanced surfers welcome!

The beach is a wonderful spot to gather and watch the infamous, jaw dropping Nosara sunset. Both locals and visitors treasure those brief moments with spectacular hues.
Sunrise yoga practices are sweet on the beach. Cool and quiet with the soft and smooth sand underfoot. If you can rouse yourself early Nosara definitely rewards you with it's beauty.
Bike rentals are a great option to explore for not only around town but for nearby beaches as well. We’ll be arriving right around turtle nesting season and on the lookout for large shelled and slow but highly motivated ocean friends. The people you'll meet who live, work & play in Nosara are warm & welcoming and very willing to help you speak espanol!
Cost of the adventure includes vegetarian/vegan breakfasts & dinners, surfing lessons & surfboard, accommodations for seven nights, a gorgeous private casa w/ pool, two daily yoga practices, stunning wildlife sightings, good people full of positive energy...
Price does not include flight to & from Liberia or shuttle transportation to Nosara. Try to book early afternoon arrival and departure flights. Holly is more than happy to help you make arrangements.
Side Trips to consider:
Monteverde is a town in mountainous northwestern Costa Rica. It’s renowned for its biodiverse cloud forests and for outdoor pursuits from hiking to zip-lining. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve shelters countless wildlife species, including jaguars, ocelots and the colorfully plumed quetzal. The reserve’s well-marked trails cut through ferns and orchids, and overhead, hanging bridges allow walks amid the forest canopy.
Visit an incredible black sand beach, Ostional Wildlife Reserve, where Ridley Sea Turtles and their close relatives, Kemp's Sea Turtles, lay their eggs. Amazingly enough, Ostional is the only beach in the world where harvesting turtle eggs is legal. Scientists found that most of the eggs deposited in the first nights of a nesting period are destroyed by other turtles coming in later to dig their nests.
A private nature preserve about 4 miles from your room, Reserva Biologica Nosara, is 90 acres of beauty situated along the Nosara River. It is home to many species of plants, mangroves and wildlife.
Many different birds, such as seabirds, herons, waders, tukanes, motmots, manakins, etc. can be found in this area; altogether, more than 270 species. You may also catch a sighting of monkeys, coatis, raccoons, armadillos, snakes, anteaters, crabs, reptiles...
Other options that may entice you:
Bike rentals - week long rental
Ziplining with Miss Sky Canopy Tour (we LOVED it!)
Nearby yoga studios - Blue Spirit, Bodhi Tree, etc.
Spa time
Paddleboarding/Kayaking
Horseback Riding
Coffee Plantation Tour and more...

““Costa Rica?” I thought. “Seriously?” I had never been there nor had any clue how to accomplish that. And then up popped Holly’s adventure last January to Costa Rica. I booked! It was SEAMLESS from arrival to departure. She answered questions, connected me with other people, helped with reservations and took care of EVERYTHING on the ground. What a treat to be able to hit the ground with someone who had actually traveled there BEFORE to sort everything out. That’s class. The hotel was booked, room open, food available, and the pool was open. We were able to enjoy a week of laid back, relaxed fun – moving from one activity to another. Sunsets and sunrises on the beach, open air cafes, bicycle rentals organized for us, yoga offered morning and night, and throw in a some surfing lessons. Holly was often on the phone organizing and confirming what was coming next – zip lining included with about 15 different lines as we worked our way down a mountain. My favorite yoga session was early one morning in a open-air pavilion, with the sound of nature just so soothing. We never left the ground, as Holly and Machelle moved quietly from one adventurer to another, giving little stretches and encouragement. Did I mention the chef that came along to cook organic, nutritious meals?! That helped keep the extra expenses down. And throw in some howler monkeys the last morning, perfect! All in all, I was VERY glad I had the opportunity to travel with Holly and the Maine Yoga Adventurers and look forward to future adventures.”
Join Maine Yoga Adventures on a third adventure with Maine Huts & Trails; and this time, we're mixing it up!
We'll begin our adventure on a groomed ski trail and head out to the beautiful Flagstaff Hut, just about two miles away. The trail has some gentle inclines and declines, but is generally flat. Adventurers can choose either to cross-country ski or snowshoe.
Some of us will take it slow and easy (no fear beginners!) whilst others may enjoy a brisker pace. Lisa Carter from Maine Bound will be our co-leader, helping out adventurers along the way. All are responsible for backpacking their own gear in - pack light.
Once at the hut, adventurers can unload their gear and head back out on the trail...Adventurers can get in more skiing and/or snowshoeing and we'll also try out some snoga together (yoga in the snow!).
After skiing, we'll warm up in front of the fire at the stunning Flagstaff Hut. The hut offers up accommodations with fantastic vegetarian food (dinner, breakfast and lunch)! Please bring extra cash for wine and beer; their selection is superb.
Come together to share good company, yoga practices (no experience necessary), an evening exploration, laughter, stories, health & well-being and more...
Embrace your sense of adventure with a wintertime ascent of Mount Katahdin with Maine Yoga Adventures and Acadia Mountain Guides!
The remote location and arctic environment of Katahdin make this one of the most rewarding winter alpine ascents in New England. Reaching the summit of Katahdin at any time of year is an accomplishment but in the winter it holds just a little more magic and a lot less people.
Our climb begins with a half-day snowshoe or ski into the base of the mountain to a winter camp where basic winter camping skills and relevant mountaineering skills are taught and reviewed. We start the climb early the next morning and return in time to travel back to trailhead by early evening.
This trip is physically demanding but requires no previous winter climbing or camping experience. The trip will be lead by experienced winter mountaineering guides who are also trained in avalanche assessment and wilderness medicine.
Included in the adventure is guiding and climbing instruction, park fees, technical gear such as micro spikes, crampons, ice axe, transceiver, double boots, skis, snowshoes, dinner & breakfast, cooking gear, and -20 degree sleeping bags.
Holly Twining, Founder of MYA will also throw in some yoga whenever time permits. We'll be sure to get in some deep breaths and stretching!
Adventurers will be responsible for providing their own clothing, lunch, and snacks.
Join Maine Yoga Adventures on a close-to-Halloween spooky adventure! Adventurers will enjoy haunted hiking, creepy painting creating, and indulging in eerie edibles...
Begin the adventure on beautiful Silver Lake Trails in Bucksport. An outdoor yoga practice will happen simultaneously with a haunted hike, stretching and breathing every step of the way.
As Aislinn Sarnacki reports via the Bangor Daily News, our locale is "a 67-acre park that features 2 miles of community trails that lead to the shores of Silver Lake, which is said to be haunted by a certain ghost - the ghost of Sarah Ware."
This may not be an ordinary ghostly encounter because this is not just any ghost. This unfortunate gal was murdered in 1898 - when placed in her coffin, her head fell off. Spooky! Foul play indeed!
If Sarah's headless body is still buried at the cemetery that is now submerged by the lake, she may not be completely at rest. Her spirit may be restless and haunting the area. Searching for her head? Searching for her murderer? Sarah's ghost has allegedly been spotted on foggy nights - perhaps adventurers will get a chance to meet her.
Following the haunted hike, head to downtown Orono for Halloween inspired eats and drinks at the Black Bear Brewery. This popular gathering place is the perfect setting to come together for ghost stories whilst eating yummy food and testing yummy brews as well!
Adventurers will satiate their appetites then get creative juices flowing with a special spooktacular art lesson by local painter, Laura Manzo, who has taken over for Travis Baker who was called away to LA. We'll use driftwood as the canvas and give this lovely painting a try!
Cost: $55/adult adventurers; Kiddos come for free (if they dare, tee hee!)

really, it gets more & more gorgeous!
Hellnar is an ancient fishing village beneath the Snaefellsjokull glacier, the king of Icelandic mountains, in the Snaefellsjokull National Park on the westernmost part of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. One of Iceland's most peculiar caves, Badstofa, is there, known for its special light exposure and colorful interior. And the seabirds, they are aplenty and such a delight to see and hear!
For our first two nights in Iceland, our accommodations are at two private houses settled in between the sea and the mountains.

With two glaciers towering in the midst, Snaefellsjokull and Eiriksjokull, and the lovely sea right there at your fingertips. The sunsets are irresistible...
Adventurers will truly enjoy the two night stay at Borgarnes B&B with our hosts Bertha & Jay. Breakfasts and dinners will be covered for your stay. Every quaint room has a view of the gardens or of the sea or both. There's a huge window at the far end of the dining room that captures incredible bird life both in the yard and on the water. Binoculars are available for viewing close up and honestly, just take a couple steps outside and you're right in the mix!
We'll be sure to get in our yoga practices - outdoors if the weather is just right. Adventurers will also enjoy more hiking and sightseeing as we make our way to waterfalls and nature trails.
We'll visit the community pool with toasty outdoor hot tubs that's just a short walk from the b&b. And, for the Iceland Adventure, we will not miss horseback riding on the infamous Icelandic horses! They are beautiful, well-cared for and ready to ride off into the sunset with us...
Eventually, we'll have to start back towards the airport on Friday. Adventurers can decide whether they need a little more contact with the Iceland wild lands or time to check out downtown Reykjavik or perhaps a bit of both...
There is a great cafe, Glo, in the city that is super tasty that we may want to take advantage of before our flights.
A stroll thru Reykjavik is pretty sweet with an abundance of artwork, eccentric museums, European architecture, and more...

The adventure will begin at the Orono Trampoline Park with bouncing on trampolines, flipping into foam pits, a big dodge ball battle, and more...
From the park, adventurers will head out to Nocturnem Draft Haus to meet up with our guide and driver of The Growler Bus. With some snacks and a growler to go, we'll hop on board and head out to our first stop, Penobscot Bay Brewing and Winterport Winery.
Owned by Michael and Joan Anderson, the winery and tasting room will host us with brewery offerings as well as fruit wines and cider. Their gift shop is filled with their own delicious creations as well as other Maine-made products.
Adventurers will then head back on the bus to Threshers Brewing Company in Searsmont.
Threshers is one of Maine's newest breweries. Two former carpenters with a thirst for creativity and better beer, opened their location to give the locals a destination to slake their thirst in the quaint village.
At this stop, adventurers will partake in some yummy vegetarian bbq from the food truck (the meats on you if thats what you crave). Next up is Marshall Wharf Brewing Co. in Belfast...
A perennial favorite right on the water, MW mixes traditional brews with an awesome dose of eclectic. David and the crew are always pushing the envelope with their brews. Maine Yoga Adventures can't wait to meet them!
There will be plenty of yoga at every stop including 'flow' by fab adventurer and birthday girl Amy Whitmore (yes, we will be celebrating!). We'll play outdoors as well! MYA will turn up the dance tunes and we'll get our groove on between destinations on the bus! Yahooooo....
Cost: $110/regular ol' adventurer; $90/students over 21/members of Fusion or Bangor Chamber
$70/last minute jump on the bus! Meet at noon at Nocturneum in Bangor
