TL;DR
Kahana Baler hosts yoga retreats two ways: join Camille Ramos’s own private or small-group sessions as an individual guest, or book the property itself as a venue for a retreat you or your teacher already run. Either way, groups of roughly 6 to 20 use the open-air Shala Grounds, paired with Cobra Reef access and Cemento’s quiet pace.

Who Are Kahana’s Yoga Retreats For?
Kahana’s retreats work two ways. Individual travelers — surfers who want a structured way to recover between sessions, wellness travelers who want a real practice rather than a scenic backdrop for one — can join Camille’s own small-group or private sessions. Retreat hosts and teachers who already run their own programs can book Kahana itself as the venue, bringing their own group and using the property instead of building a retreat from scratch.
You don’t need to surf to get value from either path. Non-surfers and beginners get the same small-group format with Camille, adjusted toward general mobility and tension release rather than surf-specific work.
Can You Book Kahana as a Venue for Your Own Retreat?
Yes — a good share of Kahana’s retreat bookings are outside teachers and retreat companies who bring their own group and run their own program here rather than joining Camille’s. You get the Shala Grounds for practice, rooms for the group, the shared kitchen, and Cobra Reef access if surf is part of the program, without having to build any of that yourselves. Camille can teach or co-teach a session if a visiting host wants that, but it’s not required — the venue works on its own.
What Happens During a Camille-Led Session?
There’s no fixed template, but a typical session moves through breath work to open things up, hip and shoulder mobility through the middle, and core and balance work that actually holds up on a board. Then a longer cool-down with spinal decompression — the part most people skip when they practice alone, and the part that makes tomorrow’s surf session possible. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes. If you’re staying a few days, Camille adjusts each one based on what she saw the day before.
Sessions can extend beyond the mat, too — pairing yoga with guided Cobra Reef surf time, shared meals from Kahana’s kitchen, and downtime on the workout deck or by the pool, all without guests needing to leave the property. A visiting retreat host running their own program can build the same pieces into their own schedule.
What Makes the Shala Grounds Different From a Studio Retreat?
The Shala Grounds is Kahana’s outdoor yoga space, sharing its name with the property’s on-site cafe. It isn’t a converted room with a yoga mat rack in the corner — it’s an open-air deck built into the garden, with no walls, no air conditioning hum, and no mirrors. The light changes as a session moves, and the ambient sound is the property itself rather than a curated playlist.
If you’re used to a studio, it takes about five minutes to adjust. After that, it’s hard to go back — real weather, real light, no mirrors. It just feels more honest.
How Much Does a Yoga Retreat at Kahana Cost?
Kahana doesn’t publish a fixed retreat rate, because pricing depends on group size, length of stay, whether you’re joining Camille’s own sessions or booking the venue for your own program, and how much is custom — a weekend for six people looks different from a two-week retreat for twenty, and a venue-only booking prices differently than one with Camille teaching. Individual private and small-group session rates are confirmed directly with the property. If you’re planning a retreat, the most useful first step is reaching out with your group size, dates, and whether you’re bringing your own teacher, so Kahana can put together an accurate quote rather than a generic number that won’t hold up once the details are in.
How Do You Book a Yoga Retreat at Kahana?
Retreats and yoga sessions are arranged directly with the property — there’s no advance booking platform or public calendar. The most direct way in is Kahana’s Instagram (@kahanabaler) or a call to +63 998 857 4851, with your group size, preferred dates, whether you want surf paired into the schedule, and whether you’re joining Camille’s own program or booking the venue for a retreat you’re running yourself. Group bookings are handled by inquiry so Kahana can confirm space and pacing actually fit your group before anything is locked in.
