Dominican Republic Retreat
There are moments in life when you can feel that something in you is ready for more space, more breath, more connection.
These retreats are about remembering who you are when you feel grounded, supported, and fully present. Through daily yoga, mind body practices, breathwork, sound healing, circle, nervous system care, nourishing meals, and time in beautiful natural settings, we create experiences that help you reset and return to your life with greater clarity and vitality.
At Bliss Yoga Studio, we see every day how powerful it can be when people slow down long enough to listen to their body and reconnect with what feels true.

AWAKEN YOUR BLISS is a 9-day yoga immersion retreat designed to bring you back into your body, your presence, and your life.
Set in the natural beauty of the Dominican Republic, this retreat invites both expansion and exhale—movement and stillness, depth and lightness.
You don’t need to become someone new. You just get to come back to yourself.
This is more than a getaway. It’s a full-spectrum experience that weaves together:
- Daily yoga and movement practices
- Breathwork and guided nervous system support
- Sound bath and deep relaxation experiences
- Journaling and self-reflection
- Group connection, ceremony and circle
- Spacious time for rest, integration, and play
Choose Your Experience
Shared Room Experience | $2,300
Connection • Support • Belonging
For those who feel nourished in connection… who find comfort in shared space, laughter, and the quiet presence of another.
This option invites you into a gently communal experience, where you’ll share a beautifully curated room with one other participant.
There is something powerful about being witnessed in this kind of space—about softening your guard and allowing yourself to be supported, not just by the work, but by the people around you.
You’ll share a queen bed and space for your belongings, with thoughtfully designed areas that allow for both connection and personal moments of rest.
This is a beautiful choice if you:
- Ideal for friends or those comfortable with close quarters community
- Enjoy community and shared experiences
- Feel safe and grounded in the presence of others
- Are open to deepening connection during your retreat
✨ A more accessible option without sacrificing the depth of the experience.
Roommate Pairing
If you’re planning to attend with a friend, partner, or travel companion and would like to share a room together, please include their name when you register.
If you’re joining on your own, you will be intentionally paired with another participant with care and consideration.
Private Room Experience | $3,400
Restoration • Integration • Depth
For those who feel called to go inward… who crave space to fully land, integrate, and be with themselves in a deeper way.
Your private room becomes your personal sanctuary throughout the retreat—a place where you can exhale completely, move at your own rhythm, and process the work in quiet.
This is not about isolation; it’s about giving your nervous system the space it may not always receive in daily life.
A space to rest.
To feel.
To come back to yourself fully.
This option is especially supportive if you:
- Value solitude and personal space
- Are moving through deeper layers of healing or transformation
- Want a quiet place to integrate between sessions
- Desire a more spacious, inward experience
✨ A deeply supportive choice for a more restorative immersion.
Choose the right space
There’s no “better” option; only what feels most supportive for your body and your experience.
Some participants come alive in shared space, while others find their deepest transformation in solitude.
If you’re unsure, ask yourself:
- Where do I feel most at ease at the end of a full day?
- What kind of environment helps me truly exhale?
Trust that answer. It will guide you well.
