Yoga at the Fort

Fort Gorges, a Civil-War-era fort in the middle of Casco Bay, is one of the most fascinating places to explore in the area and it’s only accessible by small boat! We’ll start off this guided trip with a paddle into Portland harbor then make the crossing to the Fort. You’ll land on a beach by the fort’s entrance and explore its elegant granite halls and dark passageways before you begin your yoga class in the grassy, calm parade grounds of the fort where you’ll stretch, strengthen and rejuvenate!
