Visitors perform yoga poses inspired by observing elephants’ shadows in natural habitats.
Kerala has unveiled Elephant Shadow Yoga, a program integrating mindful yoga practice with observation of elephant shadows. According to The Hindu, sessions emphasize relaxation, ethical wildlife observation, and guided breathing exercises.

Critics question novelty, but supporters highlight wellness, educational enrichment, and tourism appeal. Future expansions include group workshops, thematic retreats, and collaborative mindfulness projects.
