Yoga for Elephants · Wellness & Conservation

5 Days and 4 nights

A mindful retreat where personal wellbeing directly supports elephant protection.
Yoga for Elephants is a wellness programme developed at the Elephant Conservation Center, combining yoga, meditation and nature immersion in a serene, protected landscape where elephants live freely and ethically.

Set on the shores of Nam Tien Lake and surrounded by forested mountains, the programme invites participants to slow down, reconnect with nature and practise mindfulness in harmony with the gentle presence of elephants observed at a respectful distance.

Where wellness meets conservation

• Practice yoga and meditation on a floating bamboo shala

• Observe elephants bathing and moving freely in their natural habitat

• Support ethical, no-touch, no-riding elephant conservation

Daily practice is complemented by guided visits to the Center’s conservation facilities, forest walks, bamboo treks and moments of stillness inspired by the elephants’ calm and mindful rhythms. The setting, far from urban disturbance, enhances introspection, grounding and restorative energy.

Yoga for Elephants is designed for teachers and practitioners seeking a meaningful retreat experience — one that aligns inner balance with environmental responsibility. Each stay is all-inclusive and directly contributes to the long-term protection of Asian elephants and their habitat.
