Yoga Holiday: Short Collection Series

So you know how we’re always talking about finding that perfect yoga holiday guide that actually delivers on both relaxation and a little adventure—well, this one turned out to be way more than just stretching in a beautiful villa. We rolled out the mats on a sun-warmed wooden deck overlooking the jungle, and she was wearing this tiny, loose tank top that kept riding up every time she moved into downward dog. I was trying to focus on my breathing, but honestly, my mind was totally elsewhere, watching the curve of her back and how the light hit her skin. Things got a little intense during a particularly slow hip-opener sequence; I moved behind her to “adjust her alignment,” but my hands had other ideas, sliding under that top and tracing her spine. She let out this soft, shaky laugh and pushed back into me, and that was it—we forgot all about the yoga poses and just let the heat of the afternoon take over, right there on the deck.
