Move bold, breathe deep, and go off the leash.
Most of us spend our lives "on the leash"—tied to our phones, our schedules, and the expectations of everyone else. We’re not here to just sit still; we’re here to get real. This is a Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP Retreat—a potent blend of Sweat, Salt, and Soul. It’s an invitation to shed the weight of the "shoulds" and remember what it feels like to be vibrantly, unapologetically alive.
Imagine a week where the only rhythm that matters is your breath and the tide. You’ll feel the fire of a powerful practice in a shala overlooking the Pacific, the salt on your skin after a morning in the waves, and the grounding energy of the jungle cliffs. But more than the adventure, you’ll feel the power of the pack. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you're surrounded by people who challenge you to play hard, laugh loud, and show up as your truest self.
We’re taking you to the edge of the world: Cambutal, Panama. For six nights, we’re trading routine for rhythm. You’ll find that "good tired" that only comes from a day played hard, and a deep, soulful peace that only comes from unplugging.
With exclusive access to the entire Sansara Resort, this is our private sanctuary. No strangers. No distractions. Just us.
Move Bold. Live Spotted. Return home stronger, lighter, and more you than you’ve been in years.
Founders of Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, Nick and Katie bring the fire, the fun, and the realness. With deep roots in Baptiste Power Yoga, they don’t just lead classes—they create the space for you to break through your own barriers and find your own power.
Whether you’re coming with your crew or hitting the trail solo, we’ve got a spot for you.
Bring the Squad: Book with one, two, or three friends and share a space.
Solo Travelers: Arriving as strangers and leaving as family is the heart of what we do. If you’re traveling solo, book a quad or triple space and we’ll pair you with fellow retreat travelers.
Prefer your own space? Very limited single-occupancy rooms are available directly on the booking site.
A Note on Quads: To keep the vibe comfortable, quad and triple rooms are currently women-only. If you’re a man booking solo, contact us so we can find the best fit! Planning a guys’ trip? Reserve an entire quad or triple for your group.
Sometimes the best, most untamed destinations require a bit of a trek—and we promise you, this one is 100% worth it. The road to the edge of the world is part of the transformation.
