Kiwayu Island sits before me as I madly race from my sunbed to my "banda" where I quickly throw both feet into an enormous, REAL, oyster shell filled with deliciously cool water. HOW can sand get so hot! This is the hottest time of year at Kiwayu and our yoga sessions in the morning and evening turned into "Hot Yoga" whether we meant them to or not!
Yoga on Kiwayu is the way to go. We took over one of the bandas where we could do inversions against the sisal matting on the walls and gaze out at sunsets over the Indian Ocean. We did yoga trance dance in a lone banda way down the beach and then had sundowners there. We did walking meditation on a wild beach as very surfable waves rolled in and we meditated on a platform underneath a giant Baobab tree. And that was just the yoga! Kiwayu is the desert island paradise that you are imagining and doing yoga there makes it all feel like a journey to another planet indeed.
