A Unique Yoga Retreat Experience in the Heart of the Caribbean in Dominican Republic
January 11 – 16, 2027
Set against the backdrop of the Dominican Republic’s stunning coastline, this immersive retreat is designed to help you step away from daily demands, and begin the year feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired.
Our days will blend yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness practices, nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and time in nature. Together, we’ll create space to move, rest, reflect, and reconnect, with ourselves, with others, and with the simple joy of being present.
There will be plenty of free time to enjoy the beach, explore the local area, swim in the ocean, read in a hammock, or simply do nothing at all.
Whether you’re seeking clarity for the year ahead, deeper connection, renewed energy, or a warm and peaceful escape from winter, this retreat offers an opportunity to reset, and return home feeling nourished in body, mind, and spirit.
A YOGA RETREAT TO HELP YOU:
Las Galeras is located in the eastern part of the Samana Peninsula in the Dominican Republic. The small, tucked-away town is a nature lover’s dream and home to beautiful isolated beaches, culture, and ecotourism. You will enjoy visiting Playa Rincon (named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world), mangrove forests, bird sanctuaries, waterfalls, and more.
Some of these sites are included in the yoga retreat excursions but we highly encourage you to stay longer and explore the beauty of Samana.
This yoga retreat will be hosted in an oceanfront boutique hotel in Las Galeras Samana. With magical ocean view rooms, tropical setting, and tranquility all around, you will truly find the time and space to relax and unwind.
While still private and tucked away, the hotel is close to small shops and restaurants that you can visit by foot or bike. Amenities include a private beach, outdoor swimming pool, spa services, cocktail bar, unlimited use of kayaks, bikes, and snorkeling equipment free of charge, and more.
You will be served 3 nourishing meals a day on this yoga retreat. All meals are made onsite from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu offers a variety of international, Caribbean, Latin American, Asian, and Dominican dishes with exciting vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Wondering how you’ll spend six days in paradise? There are plenty of things to do. Some things will be part of the yoga retreat program and others you can do on your own time.
You will be served two (90-minute*) classes per day. These classes are open-level and suitable to all, as you’ll be given variations that allow you to explore and customize your practice to suit your needs.
Morning classes are breath-centered and combine classical Vinyasa and hatha yoga principles. You will end the practice with gratitude journaling, guided meditation, and a sweet Savasana.
Evening classes more lunar and cooling, combining mindfulness practices with restorative and Yin poses. You will end the practice with a full Yoga Nidra Meditation for expanded consciousness and deep relaxation.
* Classes are 90 minutes unless notified otherwise.
Two unforgettable group excursions are included in your retreat experience.
Our full-day excursion takes us to Los Haitises National Park, where we’ll explore mangrove forests, bird sanctuaries, ancient caves with Taíno pictographs and petroglyphs, and enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch while experiencing the natural beauty and culture of the region.
Our second excursion is a half-day boat adventure to Playa Rincón, often recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Along the way, we’ll enjoy freshly caught fish prepared by local cooks for lunch and spend time swimming, relaxing, and taking in the breathtaking Caribbean scenery.
During your free time, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities for adventure or relaxation. Walk the scenic trail to nearby Playa La Playita, borrow complimentary kayaks or snorkeling equipment from the hotel, paddle to the small island just offshore, or simply unwind by the beach or pool at your own pace.
You’ll stay in Victorian style, air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, direct ocean views, and private balcony or terrace.
