“If the cycle of food trends, diet fads, pseudo-science, leave you feeling confused and uncertain about what healthy food really is, on this mini wellness getaway you will gain clarity and confidence about what healthy food is and how to incorporate healthy, delicious food into your every day. Nutrition knowledge coupled with greater body awareness through yoga and experiencing the outdoors will give you the tools to live a happy, healthy, life every day with ease.” ~Tara
Avail yourself of the amazing team of yoga and movement instructors in Midcoast Maine, gear up for outdoor adventures such as hiking, forest meditation, and kayaking in one of Maine’s most pristine playgrounds, or just spend time by yourself, napping or sitting by the ocean. Learn to cook nutritious, tasty meals; explore alternative health regimens; and find how eating certain foods can give you energy and a sense of well-being.
