Pura Vida life continues




Afternoon yoga with Nati was challenging. I wasn't prepared for the high level of yoga but I did my best to keep up. She moved quickly through strong poses that challenged your mind and body. I must have sweated away at least 10 pounds. Nati is also the therapist at the Watsu program which is a free flow massage performed under water. Lori decided to give it a try. She found it very relaxing and felt as though she was a fish in the waters and at times like she left this earth plane and was dancing in the clouds. There must be a strong trust between the therapist and the person taking the treatment. Nati spins you around, flowing, rolling under water. Bringing you up for air when she feels your body change. Certainly a unique experience.
The evening was relaxing and once again the food amazing. Many new friendships have been formed throughout the week and some are already talking about meeting somewhere next year.
After dinner we took part in a dance class. The instructor was patient with us and slowly walked us through various steps: merenge, cha cha cha, salsa and more. It was great fun. In one day I had enough exercise to last a week, two yoga classes and a dance class.
