Air Travel: Fly into Bangor, Portland or Boston. This yoga retreat center is 40 minutes from Bangor and 2 hours north of Portland. Although many coming to retreat fly to Bangor, flights to Portland are often less expensive. Jet Blue began flying to Portland in 2006, which has resulted in most of the other airlines reducing their fares to be competitive. There is regular and convenient bus service from Boston’s Logan Airport to Bangor or Belfast making a flight to Boston an option for some.

From Portland Airport – take Midcoast Limo service 1-800-937-2424 or limo@midcoast.com (Limo website is here) from Portland to Belfast Maine. A convenient destination for the limo in Belfast is the Belfast Food Coop at 123 High Street where you may be picked up by a taxi. From Belfast take Bay Taxi (207-338-1993) to the Center, which is about 15-20 minutes. Bring enclosed directions for the driver. Some people rent a car at the Portland Airport (Avis is usually the least expensive), drive to the Bangor airport (about 1 3/4 hours), leave the car there and take a taxi to Rolling Meadows. This is often a less expensive option with reduced travel time.

From Boston’s Logan Airport – take Concord trailways to Bangor. Concord makes regular pickups from Logan and makes stops in Portland and Bangor. When we fly out of Boston we often take the bus to and from Logan Airport from Bangor on Concord Trailways Express Service.
