Elephant yoga featured in new Anantara wellness and nature programme

Thailand’s Anantara Golden Triangle resort has launched a new wellness programme, “Where Wellness Meets Nature,” that blends customised fitness programmes with unique activities in nature and bespoke spa experiences.

The programme incorporates elephants into the package – important in ancient ritual and meditation due to their calm nature, rhythmic pace and unhurried breath – and each day begins with a walk into the jungle to fetch an elephant.

The day continues with a morning al fresco yoga session either in the jungle pavilion or aboard an elephant, followed by a healthy picnic breakfast. The resort’s chef creates personalised healthy menus for each guest upon arrival.

Other options throughout the day include a Healthy Thai Cooking Class, jungle trekking, riverside cycling, tropical bird watching, tennis, squash and two new 90-minute ayurvedic spa rituals for both tension relief and energy.
