REPLENISHING TROPICAL YOGA VACAY RETREAT
Puerto Plata: "Silver Port" Dominican Republic
Sl-o-w it down; satiate yourself on sun, sand, sunsets, sweet breezes, yummy food & beach cabana beds overlooking the horizon!
Morning and evening regenerative and restorative yoga to tune you and tone you, stretch and ease you. Long restful days to eat, drink, laze, swim, go to the spa, or book activities and excursions. I highly recommend unplugging and unwinding!
Here's a trailer from my scouting trip in July. Lifestyles Tropical Resort is on Cofresi Beach, on the Puerto Plata coast of the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. The weather all 12 months, is 70's to 80's, the tropical breezes wafting over the lush green foliage.
Our all-inclusive resort has multiple delicious restaurants in varied cuisines, multiple beaches, gorgeous pools. You can plan excursions, or chill and take advantage of downtime on the beautiful and varied beaches and pools on the grounds. Think of it as quiet time, down time, a re-set time, with just as much adventure as you may individually decide to build in. Bring books and swimsuits and journals!
