Rise before the sun and after a short briefing leave for morning safaris at Pench National Park.

ĀPA | I AM WATER
Early evening, we walk mindfully through the jungles for a deep, restorative session of outdoor yoga followed by guided meditation. This meditation is a guidance that explores the mystical moon breadth or ‘Chandra Nadi’.
Our sacred texts believe that Prana (life energy) is a balance between the ‘Surya’ and ‘Chandra’ Nadi. In simple terms, Surya Nadi denotes to the day to day activties that we do while Chandra nadi is connected to restoration and relaxation. In modern times, it is usually the Surya Nadi which is hyperactive. What we ideally need is is a gentle balance between the two.
We leave for Night Safari in the forests soon afterwards. Night Safari is an opportunity to explore an often unseen side of the forests and meet some of the wildlife which is often missed during the daytime. We come back to a wholesome freshly prepared dinner and a short gathering of sharing after which you surrender yourself to a blissful sleep.
