The Yoga Loft

Suzanna was a great yoga teacher each afternoon and Zach did a great morning routine. In between there was beach and rest time. I took kite boarding lessons with Ricardo right next to the hotel and it was a blast.

The food, staff and ambiance were awesome! Very tranquil and the rooms were comfortable as well.

Es war sehr familiär. Wir waren nur 5 gäste und man hat sich viel zeit genommen. Für jeden wurde eine passende aktivität gefunden. Ich kann dies jedem empfehlen, der die grossen masseb meiden möchte und wert auf seibe gesundheit und sein wohlbefinden legt.

As a physician trained in India and now practicing mind-body medicine in the US, I was thoroughly impressed by my recent week-long yoga retreat at the Yoga Loft Center, located overlooking Kite Beach on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Siva Segura's (@sivalearns) daily Yin yoga sessions were invaluable to my mind-body-spiritual needs. On the 5th day, I had a breakthrough moment that released decades of muscle tension. I plan to integrate these asanas regularly.

The Yoga Loft’s location allows participants to see and hear the gentle waves of ocean, enhancing the experience of reciting the Om sound and practicing Ujjayi breath work -both connected to ocean and its life. The healthy, delicious, nutrient-dense, mostly plant-based meals aligned well with the yoga practice. Morning ‘Flow 60’ fitness routines by Zach Scannapieco (@zachscannapieco), integrating Qigong, breath work, and meditation, perfectly complemented the daily yoga practice.

Above all, the real strength of the center lies in the values and down-to-earth nature of the people who run it - the owners, instructors, and dedicated staff. Other highlights include access to high-quality, professional massage therapy and various water activities, including lessons for beginners. Yoga Loft has something for everyone, regardless of your level of yoga practice. If you’re considering a yoga retreat in a magical location with scrumptious, healing food and a great team, book with the Yoga Loft. You won’t regret it!

Tasty healthy food. Beautiful beach with blue water and fun waves to play in.

This is my second time at this retreat. I really love the location right on the Cabarete kite beach. I had a room facing the ocean and could hear the waves at night calming and soothing. The hotel is very peaceful, not too many guests at a time and very interesting, international people. The yoga loft is so beautiful, with the open view of the ocean and nice breeze cooling you down as you practice. Yoga is yin style, meditative and strength building. There is also a gym class in the morning. Dinner is amazing with delicious vegetarian food cooked on premises and eaten as a family in a group including the Owner, Yoga teacher and Manager who are all super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is kept simple but nutritious. You can walk via the beach to local stores, restaurants and cafes. I took a trip to Sosua beach via local transportation, inexpensive and fun! The Manager also suggested a bike ride to a surfing beach and I enjoyed the trip. If you are looking for a peaceful, sunny yoga vacation, I highly recommend this lovely place. You will come back rested, sun-tanned and refreshed.

The happy staff and the relaxed atmosphere.

The hotel was very low key & relaxing. All of the guests & hosts quickly became friends & the fitness classes were on point. All of the food was communal. The vegetarian food was amazing, probably my favorite part of the resort. The town is a bit chaotic, but the resort was very relaxing & safe. I felt comfortable leaving my stuff out in the open for a few hours and was not worried that anything would be missing. The rooms are minimal, but that is kind of the point.

Hosts were very helpful and sympathic , we have our feet on the beach. Tremendous view of the sea and kite surfing

The yoga classes best. The exercise sessions second.

Great food, loved the gym workouts & really enjoyed the program in general
