Join MYA on a last minute adventure in downtown Bangor for Kukuwa Dance Fitness, a yoga stretch it out sesh, yummy vegan food, and a presentation & thrifty stroll with Planty Girl Thrift…

The adventure begins at Spiral Goddess Collective, their vision based upon the idea that yoga and conscious dance practices are powerful medicine for healing and transformation as well as nourishment of spiritual growth. They encourage people to Move and Be Moved.

Post fabulous class, MYA will stretch adventurers out with a restorative yoga sesh before we eat yummy vegan food.

Where our clothes come from has a huge impact on our environmental footprint; started in 2022 by Ella Gurney, Planty Girl Thrift aims to connect people to sustainable, slow style that feels good for them and the planet. Ella will give an overview of what, exactly, slow versus fast fashion is and how we can build our wardrobes to be both sustainable and satisfying. She’ll also provide some tips on how to thrift and search for built to last pieces you’ll love.

Ella will have a handpicked selection of vintage & thrifty things adventurers can take a peek at, and take home if they want, before leading adventurers thru downtown to visit local vintage shops.

to Dec 10

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

Hula Hoop & Dance Fitness Adventure

Join MYA as we bring together some wicked fun physicality to your Saturday, partnering with Eye Candy & SkyeFitness for the perfect mix of hula hooping & dance fitness. We’ll also get in a bit of gentle yoga and yummy vegetarian food to round out the fabulousness…

We’ll follow up that goodness with more funky fitness as we take a stroll over to SkyeFitness, a beautiful boutique gym, and get into an 80’s inspired (yes, leg warmers!) dance fitness class. 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.

Don’t miss out on a wonderful mix of local woman owned small businesses! Come out and support us and have a blast while doing so!

Join MYA this Saturday for a wicked last minute beautiful hike to the summit of Acadia Mountain in Acadia National Park! We'll get in stunning views from the summit, spontaneous yoga and afterwards, super yummy vegetarian food at Echo Lake Beach…

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. 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 :)

HIIT The Barre Adventure

Sold out - thanks adventurer!

Come on all of you April fools and join MYA as we come together with SkyeFitness for a HIIT and Barre class followed up by yoga w/ Holly & yummy food then we’ll hit the bar for real on a stroll thru downtown Bangor…

Our adventure begins with Skye Washington, fitness aficionado & owner of SkyeFitness. She’ll take us thru a HIIT class, or high-intensity interval training, a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short recovery periods. This type of training gets your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time. Fast and Fun! And please know adventurers, you can always modify just like yoga :)

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!
