Hiking, Throwing & Rolling Adventure

  • Opening Heart Fitness Studio 83 Main Street Ellsworth, Maine (map)

Join Maine Yoga Adventures on a truly unique adventure - we’re taking on axe throwing, log rolling and more!

We’ll begin with a partnering yoga practice at Opening Heart Fitness Studio in Ellsworth with Machelle Lahaye, studio owner and Holly Twining, founder of MYA. Sure to be lots of laughs, lots of fun, and very relaxing all at the same time - no partner or experience required!

We’ll venture out to lovely Birdsacre - Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary with a hike, a nature exploration and pausing along the way for a picnic with yummy, healthy vegetarian food.

Our big finish will be the Paul Bunyan special with Timber Tina at the Great Maine Lumberjack Show. Log Rolling, Axe Throwing and Cross Cut Sawing!

Learn how to use a cross-cut saw with a 2-person competition-style saw - see the chips fly!  Then try the axe throw using a double-headed or double-bladed axe and throw it at a target 20 feet away  just like the pros (there will also be small axes and a downsized target for the younger Jacks & Jills).  Finally we end up in the water in the log rolling event! Everyone will try their skill at balancing on top of a Western Red Cedar log… always the ‘crowd favorite’ and everyone LOVES TO ROLL!!!
