Combines astronomy, mindfulness, and yoga under celestial skies.
Rajasthan has introduced Starlight Sand Yoga, nighttime sessions in the desert integrating mindfulness, yoga, and celestial observation. According to Hindustan Times, participants practice asanas on sand mats illuminated by moonlight and lanterns while observing constellations.
Instructors provide guided meditation, astronomy lessons, and gentle stretches adapted to sand terrain. Participants report heightened awareness, improved balance, and awe-inspiring experiences. Critics raise concerns about sand hazards and nocturnal logistics, but organizers emphasize safety, enrichment, and holistic wellness.
Future plans include constellation-themed routines, full-moon yoga nights, and desert wellness retreats, making starlight sand yoga a signature Rajasthan attraction.
