Yesterday's Yoga Outdoors adventure brought us to Fernald's Neck Preserve in Lincolnville. What an incredibly beautiful snowshoe experience in a winter wonderland! These wonderful souls snowshoed 3.6 miles! Not an easy feat! But who could be sad when you had the kind of Breathtakingly gorgeous views with nice temperatures and a bluebird sky

We started the day before hitting the trail, at 10am-ish with a little Kapha-pacifying warm fruit compote. We consumed pungent spices- cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg and astringent fruits- cranberries, pomegranate seeds, apples, pears, and then a "dollop of ojas" (vital sap support) and a bit of sweetness in the form of 2 dates to create the "ah" affect. Later when we completed the hike the group was given the third Kapha-pacifying taste- bitter- in the form of our Homemade chai tea, with another option of raw cacao warm drink. Perfect end to an outstanding day. :-)

On the trail, we talked about Kapha season and the difference between a Vata snow- airy and dry- & Kapha snow- heavy, dense, & moist. Aa the new falken snow melted under the sunlight, it dropped like whipped cream snowballs onto our shoulders and heads while we broke trail. Eventually some if us did break into a little snowball fun....

We managed to snowshoe flat some space at the overlook of Mt. Meginticook for our Snowga and our lunch, and then we found some trees to rest against in our tree meditation, where we focused on connecting to and reflecting on the energies of our trees. The Blue and Orange Trails were varied and simply breathtaking. So happy we got to enjoy this wonderful adventure in a magical space! A few of us were even blessed to see a deer running into the deepest part of the trail. So beautiful!

After a little over 4 hours of fun moving through the Preserve, we concluded the event with our traditional YOC (Yoga Outdoors Club) tailgate party before heading home to hot showers and warm dinners. A good day to move, breathe, and return to our primordial selves. Join us next time!

A beautiful Saturday event for our annual fall trail walking, yoga, and meditation gathering at Thorncrag. Our group of 5 enjoyed gorgeous sunshine, nature talks about trees and different identification practices, pine needle tea, frost ice needles, yoga in the field, 5 sense meditation practice at the fireplace, and delicious Ayurvedic Treats like sliced apples with lime juice and fresh ground black pepper, "no donut" holes protein balls that tasted like cookie dough, and homemade chai and raw cacao hot cocoa.
Honestly, we felt like little kids playing outdoors who had taken their mom's cookie dough for a yummy treat!
Remember to find time for play in nature. 💜🙏🍁

Next Yoga Outdoors event is next Saturday at Thorncrag Nature Sanctuary! Great way to get active and back in nature after Thanksgiving.

Mother Nature delivered us a beautiful day even though the forecast was supposed to be cloudy with a chance of showers.
The sun pushed its way through and blue skies with wisps of white clouds greeted us on each aspect of our adventure.

After Ayurvedic Fall Fruit and Oat Compote, we enjoyed a 45-minute yoga class on the lawn. We took then got on the trail, taking North Loop to Summit Trail. At the tip we experienced a 10-minute guided meditation on the 5 elements and the 5 senses.
Lunch overlooking the valley with a sense of peace filled our stomachs and our hearts.

After, we hiked down the Switchback Trail until we met up again with North Loop Trail. A lovely 1.1 mile hike ended with a chai, hot cacao, and Chai chutney balls treat.

The aroma of fall washed over us. It was a good day.

Next Sunday join us for a beautiful hike at Hedgehog Mt. in Albany, NH amongst New England's gorgeous Autumn colors!

When:
Sunday, October 9th, 8:00AM- 2:00PM

A LITTLE ABOUT THE HIKE:
Hedgehog Mt. is a 4.9-mile loop trail (elevation: 2532', elevation gain: 1394') in Albany, NH, near Passaconaway. The varied plants and terrain with beautiful views along the way will inspire you and will soothe the mind. Our hike on the trail will start in a counterclockwise fashion, as this provides the best views and the pacing of the yoga and meditation class timing most beneficial.
The hike by itself takes roughly 3-4 hours round trip for the average hiker. We will partake in a 45-min. yoga on the wide-open ledges facing the White Mountains, and 10-min. meditation in this majestic clearing.
The colors will be at peak... here are a few pictures of to the mountain in the carpet of color.

Register no later than Friday, October 7th to secure your spot:

With lunch: $45
No lunch option: $35
Hot apple cider & hot chai provided

Incredible day!! Yoga Outdoors went to Tumbledown Mt. in Weld, Maine, Sunday, July 31st. We started on the trail about 8:30am. We had gorgeous weather, and a quiet trail nearly all to ourselves (Parker's Ridge Trail is actually the oldest trail to the mountain.) It was tough in the last 1 mile, but we really only came across 10 other people on the trail, closer to the end of reaching the East Peak. We were above Tumbledown Pond enjoying beautiful views, yummy lunch, and then experienced Yoga and meditation on the ridge before we descended Parker's Ridge. Blessed to be able to enjoy nature's abundance....a little pine pitch on the hand also smelled a little like gardenias!

Gratitude. 🙏

A mystical morning hike and practice at Morse Mountain Conservation Area this past Sunday in Phippsburg! The heavy fog on the beach gave us a feeling of being in a dream. The colors on the trail were vibrant greens and the sound of the ocean through the mist was otherworldly. Nothing like a morning practice of beach yoga and ocean meditation to reset your week.

Thanks to the ladies who came out for our event! We had such a blast! Awesome snowshoeing conditions- these ladies knocked out nearly 2 miles on snowshoes going up to the mountain pass and back down in under 2 hours with blue skies, sunshine and an abundance of laughter and fun surrounding them- a little chai chutney ball magic helped fuel the fun!

Back down from the mountain, some deep hip, back, and glute work were on tap in the Willowbrook Lodge event room. With the woodstove going, we had our own version of hot yoga. Then chai was served! A yummy Ayurveda Lunch brought us all together. Over Apple Beet Slaw, Aparagus White Bean Soup, Kapha reducing Kitchari, and Vegan Whole Grain Nori Rolls, old friendships were deepened and new neighbors were discovered! Nothing like breaking seaweed in community. :-)

After lunch the ladies were treated to a wonderful guided relaxation by Kimberly Allen, who Zoomed in from Portage, Maine. A snowstorm kept her from traveling down to Bethel, but no matter... we improvised! Virtual Kim was and is as amazing as in person Kim during meditation. You can find her on Insight Timer for more great meditations.

After meditation we concluded the day with our Ayurvedic hand and feet salt scrubs and rosewater foot soak with some essential oils.
A perfect end to an active snowshoe event.
All were served a special lung milk drink for seasonal transition help- spiced triple boiled milk with ground ginger cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf, vanilla and black pepper- along with rose petal truffles made from hibiscus tea, coconut manna, condensed coconut milk, raw tart cherries, cinnamon, raw honey, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, pinch of pink Himalayan salt and rolled into edible dried rose petals. These truffles were so decadent!

A great way to end a beautiful retreat day.
Thanks to Jessica Carter and Ann Carter from Carter's XC Ski Center. Your space and hospitality were so very much appreciated!

Great day snowshoeing at Bradbury Mt. in Pownal with Kimberly Allen. We had such a blast on the new snow and did some off-trail exploring that brought us to some ice cliffs. Some areas the trail was icy underneath the snow, so we occasionally sat down and slid down steeper inclines on our bottoms. Sometimes Kimberly approached it uniquely... :-)

We are looking forward to our Yoga Outdoors Winter to Spring Wellness Spa Retreat, March 13th, 9:30am-3pm at Carter's XC Ski Center in Bethel, Maine. More snowshoeing, yummy lunch and Ayurveda Snacks, Chai Tea Time w Foot soaks and scrubs, Snoga, Guided Meditation and more! 5 spots left.

A beautiful day snowshoeing, practicing "snoga", and meditating in nature at Wolfe's Neck State Park in Freeport. Thanks to all the wonderful people who came out on a cold but gorgeous day on the coast. We warmed up nicely with a hot pot of Rooibos Masala Chai and a thermos of raw cacao hot cocoa. We enjoyed yummy Ayurvedic protein balls and spicy Chai chutney balls.
Get outside and experience nature, folks!
