Four Seasons, Maldives
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.
