Begin your lifestyle revamp in a sublime destinatio­n with wellness at its heart

UPMARKET RESORT Landaa Giraavaru is set on a coral atoll in a biosphere reserve and will nurture your wellbeing exquisitel­y. While most yoga is practised preventati­vely, its ‘Yoga Therapy’ programme offers three to seven private sessions with a talented practition­er to help you address seven chronic lifestyle issues – diabetes, thyroid disorder, stress, spinal pain, addiction and hormonal imbalance.

Pedal on your monogramme­d bike to the island’s spa, a swish white space, and investigat­e your issue holistical­ly. My consultant trained at the Svyasa Yoga University in Bangalore, a teaching hospital where yoga is used therapeuti­cally, and that works in partnershi­p with the resort. In a tailor-made programme, you’ll kick-start habits that promise to reduce pain and reliance on allopathic medicines, and practise yoga on an exquisite deck inches above aquamarine waves in a mind-cleansing sea breeze. Accompanyi­ng treatments and rituals are divine. You’ll leave with a guide to continuing your practice, and can continue to connect with your teacher remotely for advice.
