Surfasana, a new discipline that intertwines yoga, surfing and meditation, invites anyone looking to disconnect from the daily routine and reconnect with themselves and with the elements of nature, experience a new type of surf retreat on the North coast of Dominican Republic.[/vc_column_text][g5plus_gallery images=”50879,50885″ columns=”4″ image_size=”gallery-size-md” css_animation=”left-to-right” items_md=”-1″ items_sm=”-1″ items_xs=”-1″ items_mb=”-1″ is_slider=”true”][vc_column_text css_animation=”left-to-right”]For this, the practice encourages tourists who know the discipline to visit the beach at the boutique hotel, El Encuentro Surf Lodge, which it describes, with single and double rooms available, all with private bathrooms; some located in the upper garden and others in the lower gardens, with private terraces.

Guests start each morning with an early meditation, a signature Surfasana-style yoga warm-up, and then breakfast, followed by surf lessons led by international surf champion and former Red Bull kite surf ambassador Luciano Gonzales.
After an hour and a half of paddling and practicing their movements in the ocean, participants will engage in “Surftalk”, a group discussion that focuses on exploring the mind-body connection and using meditative practices to achieve mental fitness, which, in turn, improves browsing performance.
After lunch, there is plenty of free time for guests to take a nap, enjoy the Lodge’s saltwater pool and discreet pool bar, stroll along the beach, or visit the nearby towns of Cabarete and Sosua, before another Surfasana session.
Dinner will then be enjoyed at the hotel or, perhaps, locally during evening events created especially for guests.

There are also special incentives for yoga instructors who bring a group of participants, with a maximum number of twelve per retreat session.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
