| We are overjoyed to announce Maine will be hosting its very own yoga festival from July 13-14, 2013! Maine YogaFest (MYF) is a premiere wellness event for the local community to come together, celebrate the healing powers of yoga and encourage a healthy, peaceful and compassionate way of living. Over the course of two days, MYF will offer a diverse program infused with Maine's talented yoga instructors, artists, musicians and businesses. The mission is to provide a sense of togetherness and community among yoga teachers, studios and practitioners and to raise awareness of the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga. Our hope is to further strengthen the yoga movement and culture in Maine and utilize its amazing energy to create positive change in our beautiful State. |

Our Venue
|  East End Community School, Portland
Overlooking the Back Cove of Portland, the East End Community School is a beautiful, modern, green facility with extensive natural lighting. The school offers a number of outdoor spaces including a large athletic field area and several naturalized play areas. MYF carefully selected the East End Community school for its close proximity to the coast of Maine's largest city as well as its commitment to energy efficiency as a LEED certified building. Workshops and lectures will be held in the gymnasium, cafeteria, community and music rooms, and under a tent on the athletic field. Portland's stunning East End Beach will also be utilized during the festival for special paddle board yoga workshops.
