Maybe the most striking natural feature at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm is the pond. The large pond lies at the center of the ashram at the bottom of the long green grass field. There are many fish, birds, turtles, frogs, and other animals and reptiles that make use of the pond. It is beautiful to watch the fountain and sit by the pond to contemplate and read a book or to meditate on the sound. The pond is swimmable as there are a gazebo and dock with ladder for entry. Also, there is a boat for those not wanting to swim. During the summer months, the pond is a popular destination to get a quick cool down or to just sit next to it under the weeping willow trees. Coin-operated washing machines are available during daytime hours. Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm has clotheslines for drying. Laundry soap can be purchased in the boutique. The sauna is wood-fired and available for guests on Fridays seasonally and during certain weekend courses.
