Watching the mist lift off the water while breathing through the sequence was worth the early wake-up alone.
A 45-minute guided breathing session on the island's private water deck as the backwater mist lifts.
Open to day guests as well as residents, this session takes advantage of the property's most photographed spot before it fills with daytime activity.
Guided Nadi Shodhana and Ujjayi breathing practice seated on the water deck, followed by a few minutes of silent observation.
Early risers wanting a gentle, guided introduction to pranayama.
