Location
The retreat will be held in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. Cabarete is known as one of the world’s meccas for kiteboarding. The sport is popular due to the consistent winds nearly year-round, and it's one of the best places to learn, practice, and perfect the sport. Cabarete also has a ton of other things beyond kiting.
It is also a fantastic surf destination for both beginners and advanced surfers, with waves reaching double overhead in the fall when the wind dies down. Most of the breaks are coral-based, making the perfect formation when the conditions are right. Cabarete also has horseback riding, beautiful lagoons for paddleboarding, and waterfalls to be explored.
The center of Cabarete is full of international restaurants, bars, live music venues, and much more. The Yoga Loft believes in living a balanced life, so for those who enjoy the nightlife as well as the day, you would not be short of options.

All breakfasts and dinners are vegetarian and included in the retreat. The Yoga Loft believes that how you feed your body is as much of a part of a yogic life as breathing. The food served is grown onsite or at our sister farm.
The menu is carefully planned to provide fuel and energy to your body to keep it running at its top level. Every bit of food is prepared on the same day with love and will be enjoyed with just as much zealous pleasure as that with which it was created.
