Join Danimal and men from all over the country for a long weekend of stretching, strengthening and relaxing in Ft. Lauderdale from January 13 - 17 (Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend).
Some of the weekend’s highlights will include yoga, pilates, thai-massage and partner fitness classes; nightly happy hours with men from all over the country; lounging pool side; drag brunch in Miami Beach; and Dan’s super popular Yoga For Gay Sexual Health workshop. Oh and did we mention all events are naked!
This is one of my favorite retreats to lead every year and I’m excited we have our own villa this year! The two house compound is in an upscale neighborhood in Oakland Park and has complete privacy surrounding its two heated pools. The villa can house up to 24 people, but we’re going to be capping it at 18 so that we have plenty of space to spread out throughout the weekend. The privacy of our own place will also allow us to ensure everyone in our space is vaccinated and tested.
We are taking high safety precautions in order to make sure that the retreat is as safe as possible. All participants are required to be fully vaccinated. All participants will need to pass a rapid antigen test on the first day which will be provided. Temperatures will be taken before all classes. Meals will all be taking place at the villa.
Because of the extreme precautions we’re taking we will be doing partner and touch-based workshops. The instructor will also be providing hands-on adjusts. Students have the option to opt out of all touch based work.
Cost includes lodging, antigen test, all classes and workshops, breakfast and dinner, It does not include lunch or excursions.

Flight prices are extremely low at the moment, I imagine they won’t change too much but consider buying them sooner rather than later. Also make sure to research your airlines vaccine and mask protocols. Some are much better than others.
You will receive an automated confirmation email directly after you book and then will receive an email from me on December 1st with logistics. Please try to have your travel booked before December 1st in anticipation of that email.
FAQS
What’s the schedule look like for the weekend? Here is a tentative schedule that will likely change based on weather and COVID numbers at the time
When should I arrive/depart? Our first formal event will be partner yoga at 5:30pm on Thursday January 13th but you are also welcome to arrive as early as 4pm that day to settle in. Check out is Monday, January 17th at 10am.
Can I stay somewhere else? If the rooms sell out we will consider added participants on a case by case basis, you’ll be required to provide proof of vaccination, undergo a COVID test and have your temperature taken daily like the rest of the group.
What if I can’t stay the whole time? You are welcome to still join us even if you can’t stay the whole time, however no discount is offered for an abbreviated stay.
What is the group like? Dan’s students range in age from 21 to their 80s and are extremely diverse. This is a kind and accepting group no matter your age, race, cultural background, physical fitness or penis size. Anyone creating an unsafe space or culture of exclusion is kindly asked to leave.
What if I don't know anyone going?
Lots of guys come on their own and make amazing friends on the trip. Friends who come together often find it's an amazing time to bond with one another.
How do we get out there?
The easiest way is to fly into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and take a Lyft/Uber/Via/Taxi to the resort, once you’re there you really won’t need to drive. You might also consider flying into Miami International Airport (MIA) or Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) if you can find a more affordable flight, however the taxi ride to the villa will be considerably higher and renting a car might be the better option at that point.
Can I drink alcohol?
Yes, although we are in a family friendly neighborhood and quiet hours start at 10pm. If you want to drink and be social there are plenty of bars and clubs in nearby Wilton Manors
What’s the deal with food and drink? Breakfast will be provided, but it’s up to participants to cook or prepare it themselves. Dinners will be catered and at the villa. All lunches and beverages (other than coffee and tea) are the responsibility of the student.
How much yoga are we doing? I'm worried I'll get worn out.
We have classes every morning and evening, but they're not always full fitness practices. Some are restorative, partner and thai massage classes. Also if you need sleep or down time you're welcome to opt out.
Is it worth the money?
YES! Everyone who has come on my retreats has had the time of their life. You'll come back having not only had a fun weekend, but also feeling refreshed and energized.
What happens if I end up not being able to go? $100 of your purchase goes to a non-refundable deposit. Because I need firm numbers leading up to the retreat your payment becomes non-refundable two months before the retreat (November 13th). Sorry I can’t be more flexible but when people cancel I lose money and these retreats become difficult to do.
