Wake up to nature, and wake up your spirit with a soulful morning yoga practice. After yoga, spend the morning perusing the market for fresh foods to cook during your first cultural experience. After the market, you will head to Njoro Village to visit Mama Wily and participate in a cooking class and traditional Chagga meal. Post-meal yoga will be slow and gentle, readying your body and mind for your safari 

Depart early in the morning on Day 2 (optional VERY EARLY yoga session). Each day of safari will differ slightly depending on the group's wishes, but generally we will have a morning sit and yoga session at our camp, and lunch will be served picnic style on the safari. The safari will include game drive in Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater with astonishing views and experienced guides. We partner with Sababu Safaris to deliver a one of a kind experience with their mission to "travel with purpose" and authentically experience the culture of Tanzania.  We will get to experience overnights in tented camps and lodges along the way. 

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to Africa's Big Five;  lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo & elephant – as well as large resident populations of giraffe, hyena, several species of antelope. Each evening at the campsite, there will be evening activities such as a fireside chat, Massai beading workshops, and expressive journaling options. Take time each evening to internalize your day and begin to explore all of the facets of healing that you would like to achieve. 

We will return to Amini Life the evening of Day 4, and take advantage of one more yoga session to stretch our legs after a long day of driving. Also note, there will be a full moon this evening! I can't describe the beauty of watching the moon rise over Mt. Kilimanjaro!

After returning from safari we will take the day to truly arrive with our bodies and minds in one of the most breathtaking places in the world. We will also settle physically into our own bodies, and start the journey of making new friends, with our own selves and others.  Our yoga practice will physically lead us through poses that help to release tension and trauma in the body so that we can be free from our past. Your transformation may begin.

Our post sunset yoga will end with a traditional Massai boma with songs and dancing. 

Take time to internalize your journey with a silent day of meditation, gentle yoga, mindfulness, journaling, and finally breaking the silence with a fireside share in the evening. The hope is that your soul has been transformed and you have begun to resonate with your highest self and your highest potential. Your return to home will be filled with love and gratitude for all of the beauty and heartfulness of this world. 

Bye for Now! Hope to see you again in this magical land!
