The view from the resort.Do you like practicing yoga in an island by the beach? By a lake? Or in a mountain resort overlooking the Davao gulf? You can choose from over 7,100 islands. Do you want somewhere where there's still life after the morning practice? Or do you want an isolated place with no power at night? Name it, we have it.
Welcome to Yoga in the Philippines.
Our feature place for today is Lake Sebu.
Named as the Summer Capital of South Cotabato, Lake Sebu is home to the T'boli tribe. Sadly however, with the denudatation of the surrounding forests much of the beauty that Lake Sebu was 15 or so years ago when I first visited the place has vanished. Still there is something to offer for someone adventurous enough to venture into its remote areas. Situated almost 3000 feet above sea level, the climate is cool and the air is still fresh. Occassionally, one can still see T'boli women wearing their traditional attire. The traditional weaving of the t'nalak (fabric made of abaca fiber)is still around. But what makes people still go and visit Lake Sebu is the flavor of the fresh tilapia, caught from the lake to the grill, the taste is almost heavenly.
How to get there
With the concreting of the road leading up to Lake Sebu, it is now very easy to visit the place. Gone were those days when it took almost four hours over dirt roads and rivers that overflow during the rainy season, now it's less than 30 minutes.
From the capital city of Koronadal, one passes thru the towns of Banga and Surallah. Just a little farther from the poblacion of Surallah is a junction to the left going to the town of T'boli and a little farther is another junction to the left going to Lake Sebu.

===Ok, I'm still wide awake but the mind is already in dreamland. Time to go to bed. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, all of these will come true.
Goodnight.
