The Hook

Ever let warm water hold you while the coqui sing and palms sway overhead? That first slip beneath the surface feels like a hug for your whole body. If you’ve been craving ease, this midweek soak at the Sundari Water Temple is pure Puna magic.
What to Expect
This is open warm‑water practice time. Think floating, gentle partner moves, and solo drift time that quiets the mind. You’ll see folks trading techniques, soft laughter echoing off the water, and relaxed faces glowing in the late‑day light. The vibe is spacious. Drop in, find your flow, and let the pool carry you. Stay as long as it feels right before the evening class arrives.
