ABOUT US
Maine Yoga Festival: Maine's premiere yoga festival offering a wide variety of yoga workshops across multiple styles. Taught by local and New England teachers, we gather to practice together and celebrate all that yoga is and does for us, physically, mentally and spiritually! Experience a weekend of community! Plug into this amazing yoga community, meet new teachers and fellow yogis, try a new yoga style, listen to live music, and explore all that our vendors and sponsors have to offer in our vendor and healing village. It's a festival!
Maine Yoga Festival features local music, food and vendors throughout the weekend. We encourage green living practices in our community by promoting recycling, discouraging wastefulness and showcasing the natural setting of Maine.
OUR VISION
We strive to cultivate a unique and authentic experience at Maine Yoga Festival, one that when you arrive you feel at home, you feel supported, you feel encouraged. You have a sense of belonging. And when you leave, you feel like you have made a real connection with people, and with a like-minded community.
At Maine Yoga Festival you learn, you grow, you fill your cup, and with that new knowledge and full cup maybe life gets a little easier to navigate, compassion for yourself and others is more readily accessible. You have a positive impact on others, extending that sense of community beyond the festival, which in turn nourishes a beautiful community.
We want to help foster that sense of community by connecting you to studios, resources, trainings, and more. The festival is only one weekend, but our intent is to plug you into a community that can carry you all year long. Learn more about the festival and the amazing local yoga studios and teachers that are with us on this journey of community, of self, and of love and compassion.
“we look forward to being the stewards of Maine Yoga Festival.”

Event Director
Silvia fell in love with yoga in 2012, when she attended classes in Portland on her way home from work weekly. She fondly remembers joining the volunteer crew for Maine Yoga Fest in 2013 and loving the community she encountered as a result. The thought of yoga teacher training had been floating around for many years, but it wasn’t until The Daily Sweat Kennebunk that she decided to keep asking about it and eventually enrolled in the 200 hour yoga teacher training offered at the studio in 2020. When not in the studio, Silvia works in Student Affairs at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, where she has planned events and advised students for the last 13 years. Silvia lives in Biddeford with her husband and loves snuggling her four dogs and kitten any chance she gets.

Tiffany has been in the fitness industry since 2010. Tiffany opened The Daily Sweat Kennebunk in June 2019 after teaching yoga for ten years. That first summer she was introduced to Andrea and Maine Yoga Fest through Melissa Boyd. With over 1,000 of study and fourteen years of teaching experience, she has really enjoyed growing both her studio community and being part of the Maine Yoga Fest community. When she is off her mat, you can catch her trying to keep up with her three girls, two dogs and three chickens. She loves growing her own veggies and has a love for flowers gardens as well. She believes that a daily sweat can create balance in life and we all need a strong community of support.
