NAKED YOGA AND ADVENTURE RETREAT
August 7-10, 2025
Yoga Retreat at Carriage Stone Farms in Shenandoah, VA
Spend a long weekend stretching, strengthening and falling in love with your body at two beautiful farms nestled in Luray, VA part of the gorgeous Shenandoah Valley. Our Summer Retreat begins Thursday, August 7th at 6:30pm and ends Sunday, August 10th at 12pm. Join internationally renowned naked yoga and fitness instructor Dan Carter and dozens of men at for a long weekend devoted to health and fitness unlike one you’ve had before.
Some of the weekend’s highlights will include yoga, pilates, thai-massage and partner fitness classes; catered meals; coffee walking tour of the 275 year old historic farm; naked movie night under the stars on a 30ft screen projector; hikes through the valley; ziplining down the Blue Ridge Mountains; tubing and rafting down the Shenandoah River. Oh and did we mention you can be naked literally anywhere on the 40 acre farm.
Both myself and the owner of Carriage Stone have made some major improvements since last year that will allow us to be naked 100% of the time, have a smoother practice space and more social areas including a swimmable pond.
To simplify bookings there are only four options: Single Supplement and Double Supplement in either the main house or animal house. The main house is where more of our activities will be so it’s easier to roll out of bed and join yoga, but it also tends to be a bit noisier. The animal house is a short drive away and will be where a few activities like our farm tour will take place, but is generally quieter. We always have one staff member at the main house and satellite house. We are doing a very brief early bird discount of $100 til January. If you are in need of financial assistance please contact Dan and we can discuss a scholarship for you.

What if I can’t stay the whole time? No worries. You are welcome to be there the whole long weekend or just for a few days. Unfortunately we cannot offer a discount on the price.
What is the group like? Dan’s students range in age and are extremely diverse. This is a kind and accepting group no matter your age, race, cultural background, physical fitness or genital 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?
We will plan carpools one month before the retreat July 7th. If you plan to fly into the DC area for the retreat Dulles is the closest airport and is a 90 min drive away, but DCA will put you in downtown DC where you can join our carpools more easily. BWI is also an option but is further from both the farm and downtown DC. If you’ve got questions Email Me.
Can I drink alcohol?
Yes, while no alcohol is provided lots of guys bring their own to share. We will also likely check out a local winery or brewery one night.
What's the farm like?
Carriage Stone Farm is a 281 year old farm is listed on the Registry of Historic Places and is home to horses and wildlife. The farm is 40 acres and extremely private so you are able to be nude anywhere on the property. As part of the Madeline Farms Collection, lucky guests are hosted by Farmer Tony and are treated to fresh eggs and bacon from the farm. Two beautiful horses also call this farm, home.
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? 50% of your purchase goes to a non-refundable deposit. Because I need firm numbers leading up to the retreat your payment becomes non-refundable one month before the retreat (July 7th).
