Sharad
19th - 25th Oct 2025 | Panna National Park, Madhya Pradesh
Agni Tapas | A Dance with Autumn’s Quiet Flame
In the wild heart of Panna, where the earth softens and the forests begin to turn, Ágni Tápas unfolds—a quiet stirring, a gentle fire. It is a season where what has settled is called to rise, where the body remembers its rhythm and the spirit leans toward clarity. Through movement and stillness, through breath and intention, this is a time to shed, to renew, to find the silent pulse beneath it all.
Sharad drifts in like a second spring—whispering of beginnings, of balance, of the beauty in becoming.
Through seven immersive days, we will move, breathe, and soften into the season—gathering around morning fires, flowing through dynamic asana, and surrendering to the quiet wisdom of the forests. Each day, a gentle unraveling—a return to balance, to rhythm, to the sacred flame within.
