ITINERARY (more details to come):

DAY ONE: Arrive & Exhale
Tuesday, February 2: Settle in, meet your fellow travelers, and leave the winter behind.
We recommend flying into Santo Domingo International Airport (SDQ), arriving by late morning. From there, we’ll take care of the transportation and enjoy a comfortable 2–2.5 hour drive to our beachfront estate.
Sit back, relax, take in the scenery, and let the vacation begin along the way. Once we arrive at Coconut Beach House, you’ll have time to get settled into your room, explore the property, take a dip in the pool, walk down to the beach, and start getting to know the people you’ll be sharing this adventure with.
We’ll gather for a gentle welcome yoga practice, followed by a delicious dinner prepared by our private chef. Then it’s time to relax, settle in, and enjoy your first evening in paradise.
No big agenda. No rushing around. Just a beautiful place, good food, new friends, and the beginning of a very good week.
Arrival • Private Transportation • Welcome Yoga • Beach & Pool Time • Gourmet Dinner • Welcome Gathering • Relaxation

DAY TWO — Sun, Sea & Slow Down
Wednesday, February 3: Ease into island time.
Start the morning with yoga and movement, followed by a delicious breakfast and plenty of time to settle into the house and the beautiful beachfront surroundings. Take a dip in the pool, walk the beach, play a little pickleball, or simply find a shady spot and do absolutely nothing.
We’ll gather again for a second practice, enjoy a leisurely meal prepared by our private chef, and leave plenty of room for conversation, connection, and relaxation.
Yoga • Beach & Pool Time • Gourmet Meals • Pickleball • Relaxation

DAY THREE — Move & Play
Thursday, February 4: A day for movement, games & a little friendly competition.
Get your body moving with morning yoga, followed by a day filled with options. Grab a racket for tennis or pickleball, start a beach volleyball game, work out in the fitness center, or head out to explore Las Terrenas.
We’ll come back together for yoga, good food, and maybe a little more play before the day is done. There’s no shortage of ways to have fun here—and no need to take any of them too seriously.
Yoga • Tennis • Pickleball • Volleyball • Fitness • Beach Time • Local Exploration

DAY FOUR — Rest & Recharge
Friday, February 5: Your permission slip to slow down.
After a morning yoga practice and breakfast, today is intentionally a little lighter. Sleep in. Lounge by the pool. Read a book. Take a walk along the beach. Book an optional Private Massage Therapy or Private Yoga & Wellness Experience. Take a nap.
We’ll enjoy nourishing meals, gentle movement, and time to ourselves, with an evening practice to help us wind down.
Yoga • Pool • Beach • Optional Massage • Private Wellness Sessions • Rest & Relaxation

DAY FIVE — Savor the Moment
Saturday, February 6: One more beautiful day in paradise.
Start with yoga and a leisurely breakfast before making the most of our final full day together. Spend time doing what you love—or try something new. Play, swim, explore, relax, or simply enjoy the house and the beach.
We’ll gather for another yoga practice, share a special meal, and make time to celebrate the friendships, laughter, experiences, and memories we’ve created throughout the week.
Yoga • Beach • Pool • Games • Exploration • Gourmet Meals • Community

DAY SIX — Take the Sunshine Home
Sunday, February 7: No rushing today.
We have a later departure, so there’s still plenty of time to enjoy our final morning in paradise. Start the day with one last yoga practice, followed by breakfast and a final swim, beach walk, game of pickleball—or whatever sounds good.
Enjoy lunch and some free time at the house before we pack up and say our goodbyes. We’ll depart for Santo Domingo International Airport (SDQ) in plenty of time for our evening flights home, giving us one last comfortable ride together through the Dominican countryside.
One last practice. One last swim. One last meal. And one last beautiful day before heading home.
Yoga • Breakfast & Lunch • Pool & Beach • Free Time • Farewell • Evening Departure to SDQ

“…There is never any pressure to participate in everything. You can join in when you want to, step back when you need some quiet time, and simply be present in whatever way feels right for you.”

“I would absolutely recommend the Here and Now Yoga, Wellness & Arts Collective retreats to my family, friends, and colleagues. Truly amazing!”

“I always leave feeling refreshed, connected, and grateful for the experience. It is much more than a retreat—it feels like a place where you can truly be yourself, recharge, laugh, connect, and feel at home.”
