Jessie on a Journey
A solitary person wearing bright clothing stands in a gap between two massive, rusty-colored rock formations in a desert landscape. The towering rocks, sculpted by wind and erosion, create a narrow archway that frames the individual, who appears to be striking a yoga pose amidst the surreal surroundings. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility, adventure, and harmony with nature.

Yoga in Spitzkoppe's Desert Rock Formations

Spitzkoppe reminds me of Wadi Rum in Jordan, with desert landscape covered in otherworldly rock formations ripe for climbing and yoga poses. I ran around like a kid who inhaled too many pixie sticks, hopping from rocks to caves to archways and just immersing myself in the scenery (and showing off some yoga poses). You can camp here or just spend a few hours like my group did, though whichever you choose I’d recommend purchasing some handicrafts and local gemstones at the entrance from the Damara women and their children, thought to be Namibia’s first inhabitants after the bushmen and the Nama.
