We are surrounded by national forests and the National Buffalo River. Within 10-20 minutes by vehicle, there is an abundance of trailheads, waterfalls, caves, and other natural wonders.
Lost Valley State Park is no more than 7 miles away; Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, which has rock climbing and bicycle trails, is within 4 miles, and the nearest swimming hole is about 3 miles away at Steel Creek, a main access into the Buffalo River.
Close by is also Whitaker Point, known as Hawksbill Crag, Hemmed-In Hollow Falls, the Arkansas Grand Canyon, plus pizza, milkshakes, and more in the town of Jasper.

You can now search for “Circle Yoga Shala,” and Google Maps will locate us in Jasper, Arkansas. Make note: we are 12-14 miles west of Jasper, although we have a Jasper address.
Alternatively, you can locate Rio Buffalo Outfitters on HWY 74, zip code 72641, as the closest point of reference on the map. Turn south onto Shiloh Rd (it's called 24 on Google Maps), which immediately proceeds uphill. Go exactly 2.2 miles (the last 1.2 miles will be gravel) to our driveway on the right. You will see a "Yoga Shala" sign marking our driveway.
Keep these directions handy as you will likely lose signal on your way here. You can also download your map to your phone as an extra precaution.
There are only a few locations for gasoline. Do not miss an opportunity to fill up!
