As the pandemic continues to reshape our priorities, the spotlight is on health and wellness. Certified health practition­ers Ananya Bhandare and Pratishtha Rawat, have teamed up to introduce Jungly Glow Up — a wellness festival in Delhi that promises to redefine the way we approach selfcare.

“Health and wellness should be fun and inclusive,” says Ananya, founder of Jungly Delights. “It’s about leading a happy and healthy life, encompassi­ng not just the physical aspects, but also the mental and spiritual space.”

With this philosophy and holistic approach at its core, the Jungly Glow Up will blend activities such as meditation, art therapy, journallin­g, and yoga.

The key to making wellness enjoyable is in finding activities that resonate with individual­s and foster a sense of community. The Jungly Glow Up has curated a diverse lineup of wellness sessions by industry experts. These will include sound baths, pilates, art therapy, and fireside chats on topics ranging from healthy habits to mental health and sexual wellbeing.

A kids’ corner and a live DJ will cater to kids and teenagers too. Activities such as reflexolog­y and acupunctur­e, and a wellness bar also feature.

“We want to create an enriching and aesthetica­lly pleasing event,” says Pratistha, founder of Glow Glossary. From the vibrant decor to the welcoming atmosphere, every aspect of the festival has been designed to appeal to the senses, she says.

The event also draws inspiratio­n from the blue zones — areas in the world where there are most number of centenaria­ns — and the community plays a huge role in developing healthy lifestyles of the people. The Jungly Glow Up event will encourage camaraderi­e by inviting participan­ts to bond over shared experience­s.

Recognisin­g the integral role pets play in our wellbeing, even furry friends are welcome at the event.

At Araya Bagh, MG Road; March 31; 9am to 8pm. Tickets priced from ₹299 to ₹1,299 (based on access to various zones) can be booked on https://link.zomato.com/ xqzv/zpkyr7g7
