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)

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.

Yoga will happen outdoors with a good chance of curious goats getting in on the action. The baby goats will be out and about and we’ll be sure to get distracted, that’s definitely part of goat yoga on the beautiful farm. Adventurers will love meeting Kristin, co-owner of the farm and fellow animal enthusiast!

THEN, it’s sauna time! We get to pop over to a fellow adventurer’s home which is very close by for some sweet heat and relaxation. Ahhh…

Big Moon Snowga, Ski & Spirits

Join MYA for an adventure that moves from daylight to night as we practice yoga in the snow, cross-country ski, and head to a local pub for a beverage, spirits if you like…

A couple of nights before the full worm moon, our adventure will begin behind the UMAINE Rec Center with snowshoes and a sense of humor. We’ll get in a yoga practice in the snow under the trees. Following up the snowga, we’ll pop on cross-country skis (rentals are available at Maine Bound on campus beforehand) and hit the trails. Adventurers will love the groomed loop that takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete, the moon should light our way as the woods get darker but we can all bring along headlamps just in case :) Please know that you can snowshoe with a buddy if skiing isn’t your thing. Just getting out at night and adventuring into the woods under the stars and the big moon is so wonderful!

After our outdoors playtime, we’ll head into one of Orono’s local hang outs for a beverage. MYA is happy to purchase spirits but adventurers will cover their own eats. As we get closer, if the conditions are good, we can hit the sledding hill afterwards for a super fun ending!

Friendsgiving w/ Alpacas Adventure

SOLD OUT! Thank you adventurers!

MYA is going back to play with the alpacas in Belfast, The Blue Alpaca Ranch & Store! Adventurers will enjoy hiking, loving up the alpacas whilst stretching, and eating up wicked yummy vegetarian food for a mini friendsgiving before the big day of gratitude... 

We'll meet up at the South trailhead of the Belfast Little River Trail. Adventurers will stroll through woodlands, and along the shore of a lake and maybe as far as the Little River. We’ll hike to our heart’s content then turn around (a two hour jaunt should be perfect) to head to the ranch for a tour of the grounds and to meet their beloved pets.

The owners of The Blue Alpaca, Ben & Michele, are fantastic hosts; they’ll give us a tour of the farm and we’ll get to meet all of the wonderful animals. Adventurers will get into a yoga with alpacas session, getting to know their personalities a bit better by moving in close proximity. They will be curious and we will definitely be distracted by the cuteness. Let’s hope for a lovely crisp fall day but no matter what the weather brings, we’ll have a fun outdoor practice. Beginners welcome, this yoga practice is open to any and all! 

Adventurers will then feast on all the best features of a Thanksgiving meal, bread, cheese, sweet potatoes, a vegetarian butternut ginger soup, and of course, dessert! Yessss!

There will be an opportunity for shopping as well (MYA has big love for the alpaca ski socks!). Adventurers will receive a discount on goods from the store which make excellent gifts for you and/or a loved one.

Don’t miss out on a super fun Sunday friendsgiving, getting your fix of the outdoors, furry animals, yoga, and all of the yumminess!

Biking & Disco Dance Fitness Adventure

Join MYA on a wicked Sundayfunday in Bangor as we hit the city forest for a romp on the bike trails then head downtown to SkyeFitness for disco dance fitness - yesssss! Enjoy yummy vegetarian food too…

The adventure begins with your mountain bike, plus tire or fat tire bike on the sweet trails at Bangor City Forest. If you have your own bike please bring it along and if you need a bike, we’ll hook you up (rental or borrow). We won’t be hitting any advanced trails, all are welcome to give mountain biking a try. 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 yoga, tailgate snacks, and hot chocolate then make our way to SkyeFitness, a beautiful boutique gym in downtown Bangor. Skye is a certified trainer/group exercise instructor with years of experience and a belief that you can and you will; that 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!

Don’t miss out on a super fun short but sweet Sundayfunday adventure with biking, dancing, good vibes, great people and yummy food! Get in your fitness and feel good about supporting small women owned businesses :)

Precipice & Picnic: Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

  • Precipice Trail, Acadia National Park (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Get in on a Saturyay like no other - MYA is taking on the precipice trail in Acadia National Park! The trail is strenuous but the trail is magnificent, a true beauty full of ladders and ridges with views for days (when it isn’t foggy)!

Champlain Mountain has some of the most impressive cliffs as one of the highest mountains in the park. The Precipice Trail is a breathtaking trail that heads up these steep cliffs, navigating the various tight pathways and rock scrambles. Numerous iron rungs, ladders, handrails, and wooden bridges will help adventurers at the more difficult sections. With a name like "Precipice Trail," you know this is the most brilliant exhilarating hike in the park!

Adventurers are looking at a massively rewarding 4-5 hour long hike; one mile for Precipice Trail to summit of Champlain Mountain with an elevation gain of 850 feet; 2.6 miles for a complete loop hike. Yes, we’ll take plenty of breaks, drink lots of water and bring along snacks to keep us going - the point is to enjoy it, breathe and take in all of the beauty. We’ll find a sweet spot on top for some yoga.

Post hike we’ll get into a super yummy vegetarian picnic at lovely sand beach! We’ll relax and enjoy all of the goodness from a challenging hike. Please know that adventurers with a fear of heights may not want to take on such a beast but if you’re up for it with hikers bursting with positive energy, enthusiasm and a helping hand, perhaps you’d like to join us. Reach out to Holly (text/call 207-299-0082) with any questions.

Cost: $45. To register for this adventure, payment is available via VENMO (@maineyogaadventures_) or choose to add to cart below…

Hike & Picnic Pop-Up Adventure

Working on rescheduling! Sorry for any inconvenience…

Join MYA for a last minute sundayfunday hike and picnic by the sea in fabulous Acadia National Park! We’ll get in sweet hiking with lots of lovely views, yoga anywhere we can, and eating yummy vegetarian food (ice cream for the big finish)…

Adventurers will take on the challenging but relatively short Schoodic Head Trail (Anvil Trail) that runs from Blueberry Hill Road to the summit of Schoodic Head, a small mountain. It begins at an elevation of 70 feet and ends at 442 feet, a climb of approximately 375 feet in .7 mile. While steep grades make for a good workout, it’s the rocks and roots that this trail a bit treacherous; adventurers will be paying close attention to their footing :) I recommend hiking poles if you like them for extra support.

The round trip hike is 2.6 miles. We may want to get in a little extra, hiking over to the views on the East Trail and working our way back on the nice & easy Alder Trail that glides inland from the rocky shore along a grassy path among fruit trees and alder bushes. It truly is an enjoyable hike with some great bursts of moss, rocky ledges and fab views. MYA won’t be in a rush, there’s nature to breathe and soak in. Forest bathing with a rocky challenge thrown into the mix.

Post hike we’ll get in some yoga stretches (we’ll have gotten in a few poses on rock slabs along the way) with nice views of the coast and then it’s time to eat and relax! MYA will lay out a hearty vegetarian picnic for all to savor. If adventurers have a sweet tooth, Me and Ben’s Dairy Cream will be open in Birch Harbor, a small village in the town of Gouldsboro, for a tasty treat!

Rhino the chug and Holly loved this hike back in 2018 and are psyched to share it with adventurers! Yes it is moderate and a little challenging here and there but we’ll take our time and have fun with it. Don’t miss out on the goodness of this pop-up sundayfunday (rhino will be there for pat pats!) …

Adventurers will meet up at the Big Chief Trailhead and take the sweet climb up for spectacular views. This is a moderate hike with the trails winding up, around, and over granite ledges - plan on maneuvering around roots and rocks.

There are excellent rock slabs that are perfect for a yoga practice, a snack, and perhaps a summit beer. Then we’ll continue our hike towards Black Mountain's western summit and Black Mountain Cliffs, the connector trail will lead us back to the junction above the Big Chief trailhead where the hike began. Adventurers can expect to log four miles or so. We’ll be taking our time immersing ourselves in the natural world; pausing for water breaks, deep breaths, and flora & fauna sightings.

Off the moderate hiking trail we’ll take a brief drive to connect up to an easy path thru the woods (0.5 miles), that will lead adventurers out to beautiful Schoodic beach, a sandy oasis on the shores of Schoodic Bay. MYA will bring along a vegetarian picnic to feast upon whilst enjoying the view. There may be some yoga in the sand as well!
