While yoga offers a truly relaxing way in which to find inner peace for mind, body and spirit, when practiced at the beach it provides a truly holistic experience that can help you to feel truly revitalised. With its secluded beaches and enchanting coastal landscapes, it is little wonder the Maldives is one of the best destinations for some beachside yoga. When on holiday here, consider staying at a Maldives resort such as Anantara Veli, Maldives which offers such activities on quiet island shores.
More than just a form of exercise, yoga draws upon ancient traditions and features a wide range of poses or “asanas”, each providing a specific benefit. Experienced practitioners can find a quiet spot on the beach and go through their daily routine and “newbies” can join a class where instructors will offer guidance on the various poses. While performing these routines on the sand can help to improve the workout, the fresh ocean breeze and the soft morning sunshine definitely add a special element. Be it early morning as the first rays of the sun spread across the shore or in the evening when the sky is set aflame in crimson as the sun dips below the horizon, beachside yoga offers a wonderful way to experience island bliss.
