Spontaneous Swims: Trading the Mat for Twin Falls

Sometimes you just need a break....we start at 7:30 A.M. and often go to 8:00 P.M. Yesterday our instructor Nadia came in after lunch and said "lets go swimming!" Our exhaustion was quite evident and she knew we all needed a little fun. Spontaneous surprises are always the best... within 20 minutes we were in the van and headed to Twin Falls. We hiked up a trail adorned with peace lilies, bamboo and flowers of all colors. We got to this beautiful waterfall and all jumped in for a bit of cooling off. On our way back to the Shala we stopped at Turtle Beach to see gigantic sea turtles coming out of the ocean. Nature in itself is yoga.

A connection to nature diminishes our level of stress and increases our sphere of awareness, bringing us closer to our world and to ourselves.

Take the time to enjoy your beautiful surroundings.
