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!

Tunk & Tapas Adventure

Tunk & Tapas Adventure

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.

The adventure begins at the trailhead for Tunk and we’ll head off to the summit on a not too difficult moderate hike with a couple rungs and a bit of rock scrambling (it’s worth it!) - we’ll take our time and enjoy the sweet views along the way. 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.

Adventurers will then hike out of Tunk trails and head over to yet another beautiful pond for yummy vegetarian picnicking. We’ll hop in our car for a few minutes drive and lay out our blankie by the water to fill our bellies. This will be another opportunity to dip those toes in :)

Don’t miss out on this super fun Sunday of fresh air explorations, crazy views & tapas treats!

Cost: $45

Blissful Immersion: Copenhagen Adventure
Aug
24
to Aug 31

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

Puerto Rico Vibe & Volunteer Adventure

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

Epic Sunsets & Snorkeling: St. John USVI Adventure

Sold Out - thanks adventurers!

Escape to the Virgin Islands with MYA on an extraordinary adventure to gorgeous St. John, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. This will be our third visit and we know for certain that there will be unparalleled awesome island explorations!

Adventurers will stay at a lush mountain top villa enjoying the vistas of foliage, sea and sky. Daily visitations of iguanas, lizards, and birds are sure to delight. The possibilities are endless with playtime at the beaches, hiking, delicious vegetarian meals, veranda lounging, pool dipping, hot tub soaking, giving back as island volunteers, plenty of yoga practices, and more…

A ferry will take adventurers over to St. John (flights are into St Thomas) and MYA will arrange a 4-wheel drive pick up to whisk you off to our super fab accommodations.

A national park occupies more than half the island with its forests full of resident and migratory birds, including cuckoos, warblers and hummingbirds. The beaches are pristine and spectacular! Ancient jungles ruins are throughout the landscape. Dolphins inhabit the island’s waters, which also host hawksbill and green turtles. The mangroves at Hurricane Hole in the east support corals, anemones, and a large variety of colorful fish. Donkeys, goats, and chickens are sprinkled throughout the island.

Our stunning adventure villa is a fresh one for MYA on Bordeaux Mountain, the highest summit on the island, in the national park. Adventurers will be sweetly ensconced in a quiet, private lush space with a main house and a carriage house, between Cruz Bay & Coral Bay. Tucked away and charming, with sweeping mountain top views across the Caribbean to the British Virgin Islands with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the stunning scenery and cooling breeze.

Inside the magnificent mason home is the exquisite stone Great Room with soaring ceilings adorned with arched windows and mahogany french doors which open up to the wrap around covered veranda which extends out to a breezy tranquil porch.

The gourmet kitchen with blue Viking range was designed for serious cooking and entertaining in mind; Anna, our vegetarian cook for the week, is going to be killing it! The MYA offerings will be vegetarian and any and all food allergies/preferences will be honored. All of the breakfasts are covered as well as five vegetarian dinners at the house, two will be out on the town to take in the local experience.

There are two beautifully decorated bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms within the main house, one with a stone and tile outdoor shower.

Beaches & Mountains of Abruzzo: Italy Adventure

to Jul 29

Beaches & Mountains of Abruzzo: Italy Adventure

  • Maine Yoga Adventures (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Sold out - thanks adventurers!

MYA is taking on gorgeous Italy again but in a different locale, we’re headed to Abruzzo, the green lung of Europe!, for the outstanding countryside, medieval towns, stunning mountains, parks & nature reserves, and awesome beaches. Adventurers will stay seven nights in a beautiful villa nicely placed to explore all of the region’s fabulousness along with plenty of yoga, vegetarian food, and excursions. Apologies, there is very limited space on this adventure…

Our villa is in a perfect peaceful location, we can walk to the nearby village and we’re just a fifteen minute drive from Giulianova, a thriving town on the sea near the mouth of the Tordino river with one of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast. Adventures will relax in the countryside with a private pool, gardens, and open views across the valleys towards hilltop towns and the majestic Gran Sasso, the highest mountain in the Apennine range.

There are six bedrooms in the modern and spacious villa designed over three floors with a sun terrace on each level to enjoy the different aspects from its elevated location. The covered outdoor corridor on the ground and first floors provide a shaded walkway that keeps the living area and bedrooms cool. Across the central lawn with a shady olive tree and leafy Mulberry tree is the old farm house which adds lots of character to the overall villa vibe. Wifi is available.

The nearby village of Mosciano Sant' Angelo provides all amenities, as well as a weekly market with local produce. During July, Mosciano and the surrounding villages host various summer festas, food nights and concerts, all just a five minute drive away. There is a fabulous traditional restaurant just a short stroll down the lane with fantastic food and views across Giulianova to the sea.

Mosciano Sant'Angelo is a fascinating medieval village, it owes its name to the cult of the Archangel Michael and can be admired from afar with its panorama of buildings including the famous Torre degli Acquaviva (water tower). This is a sweet area dominated by the view of olive groves and vineyards from which the excellent Montepulciano wine is born. Walking through its streets you can breathe history and spirituality and from here we could leave for horseback excursions in the surrounding nature. What do you think adventurers, shall we ride?!

An MYA cook, will take care of all of our breakfasts and four to five dinners, all vegetarian, whipping up the freshest most local ingredients with delightful Italian flair. Adventurers will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy meals outside of the villa, from the restaurant across the street and beyond.

Along with the daily yoga practice and an occasional evening flow under the stars, we’ll travel beyond our villa and local village to soak in more of Abruzzo. There will be a day of wine tasting; we can visit three local wineries mixed in with sightseeing and strolling. We can plan a day trip to Rome if adventurers are interested. Adventurers can venture into the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park about an hour away, if we leave early enough we can get in a hike before it gets too hot.

Roccascalegna, a perfectly preserved medieval village, lying on the spur of the mountain with its 16th century castle rising on a rock of limestone, has to be seen to be believed. Also on our list is Scanno within Abruzzo National Park, deemed one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. A visit to Bugnara, another super sweet hillside village and Catignano, will be tossed in with a visit to the seaside for cool dipping. There’s going to be a lot of gorgeous sights to take in!

Don’t miss out on a fantastic adventure in Abruzzo Italy! Adventurers will fly into Rome (leaving the US on the 21st) and meet up with Machelle and her daughter to be driven to the lovely villa where Holly and her two boys & more adventurers will greet you with open arms.

Cost: $2600 twin bed, shared room; $4800 king bed, private room, total cost for two adventurers

To book your space a deposit of $1600 per adventurer or the full amount can be made via Venmo (@maineyogaadventures_) or a check in the mail or purchase below...

Don’t forget your binos!

We’ll get in some spontaneous yoga inside the Conifer Collection or the Governors Grove. There’s a visitor’s center and a gift shop that we can check out and most importantly, restrooms :)

After the arboretum, we’ll head to the Gardiner waterfront for a vegetarian gourmet picnic. With happy bellies, we’ll take a sweet stroll along the Kennebec River. Adventurers will enjoy another short and sweet yoga practice with plenty of good stretching.

After our gentler explorations, adventurers will love up a neon bungee party led by super talented circus inspired Ben Bowden. We’ll be at Ben’s new home base and wickedly looking forward to the bouncy floor and high ceilings! Adventurers will return to the 80s and the super fly days of disco with XGravity Bungee, pull out leg warmers and neon apparel, the brightest & boldest, and get ready to get physical. Adventurers will immerse themselves in a nightclub feel with black lights and fog machines. We’ll burn calories to songs from Madonna, Donna Summer and more!

Never tried bungee fitness, no problem, no experience necessary. Bungee Fitness is a fun and exciting low-impact and high intensity workout. Adventurers will get in some cool moves perhaps never thought possible with the Astro-Durance System. Think of it as bungee playtime with Ben leading us the whole way through. Adventurers will have two hours getting to know a new way to move nicely supported through the air.

The adventure begins at the Whitten Hill Preserve trailhead in Montville, a 3.5-mile moderately challenging loop trail. The trail is great for birding, passing over Whitten Hill and down to the banks of the Sheepscot River. Along the way, adventurers will see fruit trees, stone walls, foundations, and other evidence of the previous habitation of the land. Bring along your binoculars, you never know what we might spot. Let’s hope for a day of sunshine and no bugs :)

Next up, we’ll find a nice spot for a vegetarian gourmet picnic, yesss! Following full happy bellies, MYA is thrilled to visit local small business, Holler Soap Co., in the village of Unity at the sweet train depot. They carry handmade, all natural soaps, cleaners and other products for your home, body, and mind. All of their soaps are made in small batches by hand, using natural and organic ingredients; most are vegan, no animal products are used in making them.

Adventurers will get a special session with Holler creating a delightful for the senses infused body/massage oil, we’ll all take home a 2oz bottle with dropper.

Holler Soap Co. offers up a wide range of products from traditional bar soap, goats milk soap, foaming pump soaps, herb infused vinegars for cleaning and hand knit goodies to hand carved spoons and walking sticks. Bring along a little extra in your wallet, you’re going to want to support all of their goodness.

We’ll get in our outdoor yoga practice at the next stop, super awesome Stone Tree Farm & Cidery, co-owed by Brian Erickson and Frank Haferland. Their love of wine and cider pushed them to pursue their dream of starting and operating their own establishment. Together, a perfect pairing, and the perfect place for each adventurer to partake in their own flight be it cider or wine. If you’d like to purchase your fav beverage to go, feel free, the MYA family has because Stone Tree’s wine is amazing and meant to be savored both in person and at home :)

Stone Tree’s property is beautiful inside & out with a great space to order your bliss and free your bladder, flowing fields, and farm animals. Adventurers will find a space to breathe and stretch together. Perhaps before the imbibing! There’s corn hole too, always a good time.

Cost: $70 includes hiking, a delicious picnic, an infused oil, yoga, flight of cider or wine, good vibes, great people

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.

Spring Fever Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

Spring Fever Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

Heads ups, I changed the date from Sunday to sunny Saturday!

MYA is so ready to get on the trails at Acadia before all the tourists do! It’s spring and that means fabulous spring hiking in Maine’s National Park; this time adventurers will take on Sargent Mountain with stunning views and even a waterfall along the way…

Adventurers are looking at a 4.5 mile loop hike along the Hadlock Brook Trail, up to the summit and over to the Maple Spring Trail back down. We’ll come prepared with microspikes in case of an icy patch or two. The beginning of the trail is a slow, gradual climb alongside the brook and after roughly half a mile, the trail reaches the famous waterfall bridge and the Around-Mountain Carriage Road, its skewed arch perfectly frames the beautiful Hadlock Falls, one of the few waterfalls in the park. The hike will get a bit more intense with a steadier climb post falls but no worries, we’ll take our time breathing in the beauty (plenty of water and snack breaks!). At the summit we’ll go for some relaxation and a yoga flow, the length of which will be very weather dependent.

To head down we’ll hop on the maple ridge, a lesser used magical trail that travels alongside a stream as well. Please note, if this trail is closed, there are other options to bring us down :) Lovely portions of the carriage trail will be visited along with bridges, one of which is the hemlock bridge, another beauty. Adventurers will enjoy the stream crossings and the glacial formations along the way.

After hiking adventurers will enjoy some vegetarian food, feel free to bring along your fav beverage.

Let’s celebrate spring with a hike to bring in the season!

Cost: $45 including a gorgeous hike, a yoga practice, yummy food, good vibes

27
to Jan 29

Snowbound Yurt Adventure

MYA is headed up to Northern Maine for a fabulous weekend of snowshoeing, snowga, skiing both ways (optional!), yummy vegetarian food, and more…

Adventurers will lodge together in a quaint yurt on lovely property. This sweet spot is located in Easton and was established to offer a place of relief from a fast-paced lifestyle. The yurt is cozy, comfortable and a great place to rest and relax while enjoying the outdoors. The space is unplugged yet the perfect opportunity for connection, made warm by the wood stove, starlit by the dome skylight, and unique in it’s the perfect color of turquoise.

Arrival time is flexible, if you can’t slip away until later, no worries, we’ll have plenty of fun and food in the evening :) Adventurers will have access to 120 acres of hiking, snowshoeing & cross-country ski trails right out the door, including the Canadian Border Trail, land peppered with beautiful spruce and apple trees.

For Friday’s skiing pleasure, adventurers are welcome to hit Big Rock Mountain on Mars Hill, a fifteen minute drive away from the yurt, fun! MYA is happy to cover lift tickets for adventurers that are into downhill skiing otherwise we’ll meet you at the yurt by late afternoon. Bring along your snowshoes and cross-country skis if you have them, if not, rentals are available. There’s also tubbing as an option - wicked!

MYA will be using the yurt’s kitchen space to whip up tasty vegetarian dinners and breakfasts. Lunches will be open to adventurers and most likely up to where our adventures take us, either in town or on the slopes or at the yurt. Leftovers are usually an option too!

Saturday and Sunday will be snowga and ski fundays! No worries about snowga, it’s just yoga in the snow (usually with snowshoes), experience is not a necessity. A sense of humor is best as well as snowpants on the looser side! We can partner for balancing postures, always a hoot. No worries if you don’t have snowshoes, MYA can help.

On Saturday after breakfast and snowga on the beautiful landscape, we’ll head to the Nordic Heritage Center, less than 20 minutes away. The NHC, a jewel in the crown of Maine, embodies the best of Aroostook County: a place of incomparable beauty. The center offers up snowshoe and cross-country ski rentals. If you have your own skis and snowshoes, bring them along. You can choose the activity that you’re most comfortable with, just being outside in nature should bring on therapeutic goodness. And, there’s a sauna, let’s hope that it’ll be open to warm us up!

MYA has really enjoyed NHC in season’s past, the trail network is expansive and heavenly, so nicely maintained. This is a wonderful organization that MYA is proud to support and will offer up a portion of the adventure proceeds to their cause.

Sundayfunday we’ll save for more explorations from our yurt after another yummy breakfast.

Epic Sunrises & Snorkeling: St. John USVI Adventure

Sold out - thanks adventurers!

Escape to the Virgin Islands with MYA on an extraordinary adventure to gorgeous St. John, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. This will be our second visit and we know for certain that there will be awesome island explorations!

Adventurers will stay at a lush hillside villa enjoying the vistas of foliage, sea and sky. Daily visitations of iguanas, lizards, and birds are sure to delight. The possibilities are endless with playtime at the beaches, hiking, delicious vegetarian meals, deck lounging & pool dipping, giving back as island volunteers, plenty of yoga and more…

A ferry will take adventurers over to St. John (flights are into St Thomas) and MYA will arrange a 4-wheel drive pick up to whisk you off to our super fab accommodations.

A national park occupies more than half the island with its forests full of resident and migratory birds, including cuckoos, warblers and hummingbirds. The beaches are pristine and spectacular! Ancient jungles ruins are throughout the landscape. Dolphins inhabit the island’s waters, which also host hawksbill and green turtles. The mangroves at Hurricane Hole in the east support corals, anemones, and a large variety of colorful fish.

The adventure villa is on the south shore in a quiet nature-filled neighborhood on Boatman Bay, a ten minute drive from the harbor. Owned by famous American Pop culture artist, Peter Max, the space is designed for both privacy and communal gatherings.

The coral stone deck is expansive with a pool, lounge chairs, and dining area, of course, the views are jaw dropping! The sunrise is spectacular, you can watch the magic from the comfort of your bed. All will enjoy dramatic clear turquoise reefs below, pristine National Park coastline, and crisp horizon views of the vast blue sea, sunsets and starry skies. The evening becomes a sweet time for a glass of wine and a soak in the hot tub, one of MYA’s fav amenities. The star gazing is terrific, our villa is very private without close by neighbors flooding the sky with light.

The lovely bedrooms have an en-suite bath and shower, sliding glass doors, and individual A/C units in each. Two of the bedrooms have an extra full-sized twin in the room, great for adventurers that don’t mind sharing space.

All of the breakfasts are covered by MYA, we’ll have five vegetarian dinners at the house and two out on the town so that we can take in the local experience. Anna Olsen will be our amazing talented cook! Lunches are up to adventurers, either leftovers or stopping in town. The MYA offerings will be vegetarian and any and all food allergies/preferences will be honored.

Adventurers will be hiking, snorkeling (equipment is rentable if you don’t have your own), paddleboarding (another rentable item), swimming, and enjoying yoga at least once a day. We may get in some guided tours as well such as a leisurely kayak and snorkel adventure through the mangroves; an amazing tour and MYA highly recommends it! In villa massage and spa treatments will also be an option for adventurers as an add on. Sunset charters, a mermaid experience (put on a fancy tail and pose for pics!), and a private dj are some other offerings :) We may plan a day trip to Puerto Rico and book a salsa lesson!

This time around, MYA will be offering up some of our time to the locals with a volunteer component added to our adventure. Adventurers can walk dogs at the animal shelter, help care for island animals such as horses, donkeys and goats at the animal sanctuary, and/or help with a clean-up or maintenance project at the Virgin Islands National Park.

Don’t miss out on a crazy good time on the island of St. John, a slice of paradise! Adventures will enjoy seven nights in a private lux villa with breakfasts and dinners (5) included, daily yoga, volunteering with locals, private pool & hot tub, hiking, swimming, and snorkeling…

Dance, Wine & Stroll Adventure

MYA and Christine Mihan, dancer, yogi, owner of Bangor Wine & Cheese, are coming together again for a funtastic adventure of dancing and wine & cheese, we’ll also get in yoga, yummy vegetarian food, and a stroll through downtown as the city lights up for the festive holiday season…

The adventure begins at Thomas School of Dance, a big lovely space in downtown Bangor. Christine will lead us through moves that all adventurers can handle. We’ll be hitting some hot latin favorites, salsa, merengue & cha cha and throw in some rhumba just for kicks! A fun assemblage of latin heat will be the perfect December cure to warm us up before the cold of winter settles in.

Bring along a partner or we'll pair you up. Don't let a lack of a dance partner keep you from this fun! No prior dance experience necessary, just bring along your sense of adventure and your sense of humor.

During our spicy dance session, Christine will guide us through bold and beautiful red wines (please tell Holly if you really need white). Adventurers will get to enjoy cheeses that pair perfectly with the wine, yummy! All of this goodness will come directly from the local fab store Bangor Wine & Cheese which we can hit up later whilst adventuring.

Post dancing and wining, we’ll head to the riverfront for an outdoors yoga flow and hot soup tailgating & dark chocolate munching. As darkness falls, adventurers can stroll through downtown Bangor taking in the sights, this is the eve of the annual tree lighting with plenty of shopping, music, and fun wrapped up into the festivities.

Don’t miss out on the fabulousness that will get you hyped for the festive holiday season! Dancing, wine, yoga, yummy food, and wicked positive holiday vibes, an all around awesome Saturyay.

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 :)

Cost: $55. To register for this adventure, payment is available via VENMO (@maineyogaadventures_) or add to cart below...

With happy bellies we’ll make our way into stunning Acadia National Park and head to Otter Cliff for fab rock climbing over the water. Acadia Climbing Guides deliver professional, state-of-the-art instruction by a highly skilled and energized staff and will assist adventurers every step of the way.

No judgements from this crew, just positive energy and working together towards a fun & safe climb.

Lobster & Chesuncook Lake Canoeing Adventure
Aug

to Aug 17

Lobster & Chesuncook Lake Canoeing Adventure

  • Lobster Lake, Maine (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Get in a spectacular five day canoe and camping adventure on Lobster & Chesuncook Lake with MYA and Coyote Ridge Guides in the North Maine Woods with lots of yoga, paddling, birding, swimming, fireside stories and yummy food! The ultimate nature therapy…

The Lobster & Chesuncook Lake trip is a pampered journey albeit rustic as our guides help us carry all our gear, food, supplies, etc. via canoe. This is a good canoe trip for any paddling ability - adventurers can bring along a buddy or come solo and we’ll hook you up with a paddling partner. Our guides, the fabulous Coyote Ridge Guides, Registered Maine Guides, will assist in teaching and reinforcing proper paddling strokes and technique. They also happen to have great personalities and are superb storytellers.

Adventurers will camp along the way in tents at lovely, scenic campsites. Post-paddling adventurers will have plenty of time to relax, swim and practice some yoga before bedtime. All levels of yogis are welcome, no experience, no worries. Daily yoga and meditation practices will be at a level attainable for everyone, we’ll be breathing in the beauty and stretching out our paddling efforts. Being outside at night is always exciting with lots of stargazing and storytelling. There’s nothing like a campfire to bring us all together :)

We’ll meet at a pre-determined location on our first day and drive to Lobster Stream for put in. After our canoes and gear are into the water, we will paddle upstream to Lobster Lake and to a campsite on the lakeshore. The wilderness campsites have lovely sandy beaches and we’ll have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the stay. There will be ample opportunity for amazing views of Katahdin from both the water and the beaches.

The next day we travel back across the lake and back down lobster Stream to the West Branch of the Penobscot river. We travel down the river for two days and then stay out on Chesuncook lake. The lake was named "goose place" by combining the call of the Canada goose schunk with auke (the Abenaki word for place) to form Chesuncook. Henry David Thoreau visited Chesuncook (village) and lake in 1853 and wrote about its beginnings in his book "The Maine Woods".

Adventurers will have an opportunity to camp on and explore Mauser Island before we get to our take-out location. We’ll travel back to our original meeting place on the fifth day. Taking in and soaking up the last bits of spectacular scenery. Don’t forget your binos!

Our guides will cook all meals over the open fire, and source all of our firewood at the campsites when we arrive. They will cook two meals a day (all dietary restrictions and allergies will be honored), and lunches are usually cold, but all are very substantial. We also have a couple of snacks each day as we travel. For MYA will usually go fully vegetarian but we’ve opened up a fish option for a dinner or two for this canoe trip.

The best part is that the adventure is all inclusive - yessss! All adventurers have to do is show up with their sleeping bag and maybe some clothes :) Every adventurer is provided a dry bag to pack into and if you don’t have a sleeping bag, there are loaners.

Limited to 9 adventurers- be sure to book your spot soon!

Cost: $1,500

Adventurers can choose to either pay in full or put down a deposit to hold their spot.

Contact MYA for payment.

Please be sure to check out MYA’s cancellation policy - thanks.
