Ek Onkar and the rest of the Mool Mantra, played out to serene-yet-funky tunes, as we entered the first floor of the Yogacara Healing Arts Centre. Eucalyptus wafted through the air as we walked, barefeet, (footwear must be left outside) through a corridor. At the end of the passage is the open-air cafe — The Zen Garden Cafe.

Tall bamboo shoots encased the area, dotted with plants. Amidst this tiny garden we spotted wooden benches, concrete slabs with cusions, and tables with sunny covers. As much as we crave the outdoors, the humidity had us wilting in no time. (Tip: Opt for dinner).
