Boot camp uses interval, circuit, and aerobic training. It will burn fat, tone muscle, improve posture, build strength and endurance, and build confidence. You work out your arms, legs, and core using exercises that incorporate your whole body. Boot camp can get you into the best shape of your life. As one of my campers stated, “I am stronger, faster, and leaner”
A typical day includes a warm up, stretches, the ‘workout’, cool down, a possible game or challenge, and finishing stretches.
Boot camps varying routines are intense sessions that offer a variety of exercises, and challenge every muscle in your body. By rapidly moving from one exercise to the next, with minimal breaks, you can get a cardiovascular workout while simultaneously toning your muscles. And, you burn lots of calories. Its fun, varied, motivating, produces amazing results, and meets at a fantastic location.
Boot camp’s 45 minutes workouts allow you to do strength training and aerobic training in a single workout, which is very efficient when you have a limited time to work out.

Runaways Run Club is a Maine based weekly running meetup that offers Wednesday night pub runs and Sunday morning trail runs, for all speeds and levels.
Join us for a weekly group run and pub social. We will meet at the Concourse in downtown Waterville near the back side of Key Bank. This is not a race or competitive event.

Summer is the season of growing and blossoming. This practice will be a unique sequence of postures, designed specifically to align us with the heavens. This summer we’ll be practicing during eclipse season; with powerful vibrations, and catalysts for personal and universal shifts.
We’ll gather outdoors in the park (right next to The Sunshine Factory) for astrology inspired yoga; infused with essential oil blends chosen to support you at Full Moon time (oils are optional). These two polarity signs, Capricorn and Cancer, represent structure and softness; the bones, the lungs and our earth and water energies. Feel your roots and allow your emotions to arise naturally through lunar salutations, postures for bone strength and for opening the rib cage and front body. Robin will weave astrological insights through the practice. This Full Moon is harmonious with aspects for healing and manifesting, letting go in order to bloom like the flowers of summer.
We’re teaming up with Saco Parks & Recreation Department to take yoga outside this summer and tour some of the beautiful spaces that Saco has to offer! Classes are for all levels and will be an hour. Join us for a summer night outside, and maybe explore a new park you haven’t visited yet!

The mission of the Maine YogaFest (MYF) is to create a wellness event for the Maine and New England community to come together, celebrate the healing powers of yoga and encourage a healthy, peaceful and compassionate way of living. Our vision is to build a premiere forum in Maine that provides a sense of togetherness and community among yoga teachers, studios and practitioners. By raising awareness of the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga, we hope to strengthen the yoga movement and culture in our beautiful State.
In 2012, MYF was founded by three friends – Justine Carlisle, Dana Woodbury and Regan Johnson – to share their love of yoga with others. It is a two and a half day celebration of our amazing local yoga talent. The festival offers a diverse program allowing participants to try a wide range of yoga styles and techniques by a variety of teachers. MYF aims to support the growth of the Maine economy by featuring local music, food and vendors throughout the weekend.
In 2017, MYF partnered with sheJAMs also founded by three friends – Julie Marchese, Andrea Gleason, and Melissa Smith – to spread the word even further. sheJAM’s is an all-women’s training group, created to bring together women of all ages and abilities who enjoy being active. sheJAMs offers training programs that include triathlon, swimming, biking, year-long run group, boot camp, yoga buti and more. The goal is to make training fun and safe while providing an environment that has a non-competitive spirit, but allows you to push yourself. SheJAMs encourages members to share experiences, accomplishments, and challenges and to revel in the energy that a group of women with common interests can generate!
Hosting other events like the Dynamic Dirt Challenge, Power of She, and LobsterJAM , the Maine YogaFest was a natural fit!
MYF encourages green living practices in our community by promoting recycling, discouraging wastefulness and showcasing the natural setting of Maine.
