Women’s Canoeing & Yoga

Rangeley, Maine

2027 Dates Coming in the winter.

Join our newsletter to be the first to know.

Listen to the loons, feel the summer sun on the water, and center yourself in the canoe. Over two nights in the mountains and lakes region of Rangeley, you'll paddle guided adventures by day, practice yoga twice daily, and let someone else handle the logistics and the meals. No canoe experience needed. No gear to own. Just a weekend to reset, relax and play.

You'll learn to feel balanced and steady whether you're paddling stern or bow, passing the snacks, or riding over a wave. Practice paddle technique and body positioning, and maybe even play around balancing on the gunwales. Then come back to a warm bed in a classic Maine cabin and food made fresh by our personal retreat chef.

“This retreat was such a relaxing and restorative adventure! I really enjoyed the small group size and felt so taken care of from start to finish. I especially appreciated the way Leah told us what to expect at each turn so that we could prepare accordingly without too much guesswork. The paddling instruction was wonderful and I feel so much more confident in a canoe now! The yoga instruction and singing bowls were also lovely.”

“Leah is an amazing guide. She is so experienced and knowledgeable. She has such a lighthearted presence. Everything is taught with joy! The yoga classes were wonderful. It was great to practice before canoeing and lovely to have a restorative practice in the evenings.” -Past Retreat Participant
