Stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga

Maine Outdoor Yoga and Midcoast Conservancy are thrilled to bring Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga back to Little Dyer Pond at Midcoast Conservancy’s Hidden Valley. This class caters to participants of all skill levels, particularly beginners, and focuses on fostering a supportive, judgment-free atmosphere.

The group will meet at the parking lot and hike 1.4-miles to Little Dyer Pond where participants will be given some preliminary guidance before venturing onto the water with their boards, including practicing yoga afloat. Please wear comfortable footwear for hiking, bring drinking water, and wear clothes you don't mind getting wet. We will supply the Stand-Up Paddleboard.

No experience is needed and there is no judgment passed.

Sarah Plummer has been teaching yoga and group exercise in the Midcoast region for 30 years. She believes in sharing her passion for yoga amidst the breathtaking beauty of Maine’s landscape and is dedicated to helping people experience the transformative power of yoga in nature.

A Collaborative Day with Waterstruck Wellness.

Midcoast Conservancy and Waterstruck Wellness have collaborated to bring you a day of work and wellness, a day to volunteer your time and energy at Hidden Valley before heading to Waterstruck to sauna, plunge, rest and repeat. In the morning we will get our hands dirty with a variety of projects from trail work to woodchip raking and drainage improvement. Projects will wrap up at 12pm giving everyone time to enjoy the lunch they brought or go out to lunch before heading to Waterstruck Wellness to relax with a sauna experience starting at 1pm.  

Bring work gloves, sturdy footwear, plenty of water and a positive attitude for the morning of volunteering at Hidden Valley. Meet at 9am at the Welcome Center before heading out on trails to get work done. Bring a lunch and enjoy a picnic at the end of the morning or plan to grab lunch out when the work ends at 12pm. The group will reconvene at Waterstruck Wellness, 600 River Rd, Newcastle, ME, at 1pm to enjoy a sauna, cold plunge, and relaxation.   

Waterstuck Wellness has generously offered to collaborate for this day of work and wellness by offering their sauna and cold plunge experience by donation to all work day participants. These donations will then be given back to Midcoast Conservancy to support all our conservation efforts. Don’t miss this opportunity to give back twice!

Pricing: There are many ways to give, whether with your time and energy or through a monetary donation. This day provides an opportunity for both. Offer a monetary donation when you register and enjoy a sauna experience at Waterstruck Wellness after a morning of volunteering with Midcoast Conservancy at our Hidden Valley. Learn more about Waterstruck Wellness.

This is an 18+ event.
