Handstands and Kiteboarding Retreat in Puerto Rico
March 3-8, 2025
$1800 per person until Dec 1st
$2200 after
Ready to learn kiteboarding, master handstands, or both? This event is perfect for you! We’ll take full advantage of windy days for kiteboarding, while calmer mornings and evenings will be dedicated to handstand training, ensuring you’re never short of activities.
In addition to our main focus, we’ll set up a slackline or two and practice some acro yoga for added fun and balance work. Whether you’re interested in both activities or just one, this event is flexible to your preferences.
For an even more immersive experience, consider starting your trip with the SUP Acro & Sightseeing event starting on Friday. Combining both events will give you a well-rounded introduction to our movement practices and an unforgettable adventure in Puerto Rico.

What if there's no wind?
No worries! Handstand training will be our primary focus in such cases. We’ll dive deep into mastering inversions and balance, ensuring you still get the most out of your time with us. In addition to handstands, we’ll add other exciting activities like acroyoga and non-wind-dependent outdoor sports to keep you engaged and active.
Beginner kiteboarders typically need around 9 hours of lessons, usually split into 2 to 3-hour sessions. It’s important to plan for extra days and include one or two weather contingency days, as kiteboarding relies heavily on weather conditions. But even if the wind doesn’t cooperate, you’ll leave with a fulfilling experience from the variety of other activities offered.
Rental Car Recommendations
If you enjoy night activities or prefer to explore the island freely, we recommend renting a car. It’s also a good option if you get motion sick as a passenger. Plenty of parking is available at our home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is travel insurance required?
Absolutely yes. Travel insurance is required to protect yourself against unexpected cancellations, interruptions, or emergencies. We will, in fact, not pick you up from the airport until we have proof of your travel insurance. Most travel insurance policies offer comprehensive coverage for these situations, so please ensure you have adequate coverage before your trip.
What is the refund policy?
You may cancel your reservation and receive a refund according to the following schedule:
Please note that there is a non-refundable $500 deposit.
- Cancellations before 2 months of the event: You will receive a full refund minus the non-refundable deposit.
- Cancellations 1 month before the event: You will receive a 50% refund.
- Cancellations within 1 month of the event: You will not be eligible for any refund.
- No-shows: If you do not show up for your reservation, you will not be eligible for any refund.
Refunds will be processed within 30 days of cancellation.
Travel Insurance Requirement: Travel insurance is required and should be purchased as soon as possible. This ensures that your cancellation may also be covered. Most travel insurance policies offer comprehensive coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, and delay, as well as medical expenses and other travel-related issues. Be sure to review the policy details and restrictions carefully to ensure that you are fully covered.
What if there's a weather event?
In the event of unexpected weather, your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. We are prepared to offer alternative activities that are safe to practice outdoors. If outdoor activities are not feasible, we can transition to a variety of indoor activities, including yoga, acroyoga, handstands, enjoying delicious coffee, and playing fun games!
We recommend that guests come with more than one outdoor activity in mind, especially for weather-dependent activities like surfing and kiteboarding. Additionally, we suggest allowing extra time in your schedule to accommodate any weather-related changes. This way, you can make the most of your retreat and ensure a fulfilling and enjoyable experience, no matter the weather.
Do I need to come with an AcroYoga partner?
No, you do not need to come with an acroyoga partner. While having a partner can enhance your training experience and allow both of you to benefit more from training together, it is not a requirement. Our instructors will ensure you get the most out of your acroyoga sessions, whether you come alone or with a partner.
Additionally, part of the reason we lower the cost slightly for more than one person is to encourage shared experiences and make it more accessible for friends or family to join you in the retreat.
Do I need prior experience for the activities?
No prior experience is necessary for most activities. Our instructors are experienced and can tailor sessions to your skill level, whether you are a beginner or an advanced participant.
What are the accommodation arrangements?
Accommodation is provided in our comfortable home, featuring private rooms and shared bathrooms. We strive to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. When staying at hotels or Airbnbs, you’ll have a shared room (double occupancy). If you prefer a private room, we can arrange that for an additional fee (typically $50 to $100 per day).
Are meals included?
We provide one meal per day, typically breakfast. For other meals, we can recommend local restaurants or you can choose to prepare meals in our kitchen.
How do I book a retreat?
You can book a retreat by contacting us via email or phone. We will work with you to customize your itinerary and confirm your reservation.
