Tucked away in the quiet town of Island Falls, Maine, Sewall House Yoga Retreat has once again earned a spot among USA Today 10Best’s Top 10 Yoga Retreat Centers in the United States, marking four consecutive years of national recognition by the publication.
Founded in 1997, Sewall House has spent nearly three decades building a peaceful retreat centered on daily meditation, yoga practice, and wholesome vegetarian meals. This latest honor reflects the dedication of owner Donna Sewall Davidge and her team, whose focus on individualized attention, intimate class sizes, and creative programming continues to set the retreat apart. Their philosophy blends time-honored practices with fresh approaches to wellness.
Themed retreats at Sewall House may focus on shadow work, aging naturally, or the intersection of writing and yoga. These events are open to beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Sewall House only has 6 rooms, all private, so all themed retreats are small and personal.
Though themed retreats are part of the offering, Sewall House is at its core an on-demand retreat, designed for deep personalization. Schedule your personal retreat any available days from late May through mid-October.
All meals, which are vegetarian and prepared on-site, and Sewall House’s daily schedule are included in the price. Accommodations are in a historic New England home located 30 miles from the Canadian border.
Guided by a seasoned group of yoga instructors, Sewall House’s carefully paced schedule pairs energizing asana practice with quiet, restorative moments of stillness. Guests consistently highlight the comfort of the retreat’s private rooms and the genuine sense of belonging they find there.
Sewall House welcomes both longtime practitioners and those new to yoga to experience firsthand what’s made this retreat a place for personal growth, peace of mind, and connections that last well beyond the visit!
