A small yoga getaway at a historic home in Maine has left a big impression on USA Today readers.

The publication named Sewall House in Island Falls among the 10 best yoga retreats in the U.S., as part of its 2023 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards. The tranquil getaway ranked No. 2, second only to the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.

Here’s what USA Today wrote about Sewall House:

A retreat at Sewall House may focus on Kundalini yoga, spiritual herbalism, women’s mental health or the intersection of writing and yoga. All are open to beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Retreats are small and personalized. Meals are vegetarian, mostly organic and prepared on-site.  Accommodations are private bedrooms in an historic rural New England home, located 30 miles from the Canadian border.
