The #2 Yoga Retreat In America Is Right Here In New England!

According to USA Today readers, the #2 yoga retreat is Sewall House in Island Falls, Maine.

USA Today wrote:

"Sewall House may focus on Kundalini yoga, spiritual herbalism, women’s mental health or the intersection of writing and yoga. All are open to beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Retreats are small and personalized. Meals are vegetarian, mostly organic and prepared on-site.  Accommodations are private bedrooms in an historic rural New England home, located 30 miles from the Canadian border."

This looks pretty awesome. Check out their yoga introduction:

Listen, a yoga retreat is a great idea for anyone who is looking to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and focus on self-care.

You can deepen your practice.

Away from the distractions of daily life, you can immerse yourself in your practice and explore new aspects of yoga.

At a yoga retreat, you can connect with like-minded people.

This creates a supportive and encouraging community where you can make new friends and connections. There's no one you get closer to than someone you're sweating buckets with at a hot yoga class.

Reconnect with nature.

They're held in beautiful natural settings, such as mountains, beaches, or forests. This provides an opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience its restorative benefits.

Relax and rejuvenate.

You can relax, rejuvenate, and return home feeling refreshed and energized.

Learn new skills.

They offer workshops and classes on a variety of topics, such as meditation, pranayama, or Ayurveda. This provides an opportunity to learn new skills and deepen your understanding of yoga and wellness.

A yoga retreat is a great idea for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice, connect with like-minded people, and take a break from the stresses of daily life.

Massachusetts’ 15 Best Beaches for a Relaxing Beach Day

In Massachusetts we're blessed to have mountains and shoreline. With that shoreline comes many amazing beaches. As an admitted beach bum (shout out Nantasket Beach!) who hits the beach at least 300 of the 365 days a year I'm pretty interested about how they stack up! So I hit up Tripadvisor, threw in a couple metrics, and BAM! here we go. These are the 15 traveler-favorite beaches in Massachusetts. So slap on some SPF40 because you may get sun-kissed just perusing this list.

BTW even though we have all these awesome beaches, New England still has 4 of the 10 Least Fun States in America according to some goons. Click the link for more on that. And now... FUN BEACHES:
