Visitors synchronize breathing exercises with elephant movements for mindful immersion.
Kerala has unveiled Elephant Guided Breathwork, wellness sessions where participants align breathing exercises with elephants’ natural movements. According to The Hindu, trainers ensure safe interaction, mindfulness instruction, and educational engagement about wildlife.
Participants report relaxation, physical engagement, and immersion in natural observation. Trainers emphasize ethical practices, structured routines, and safety. Critics question novelty versus conservation, but supporters highlight tourism appeal, wellness benefits, and educational enrichment. Future expansions include retreats, thematic workshops, and collaborative mindfulness exercises.
