5-Day Wellness Escape with Yoga and Ocean Adventures in the Maldives

The retreat runs on a simple rhythm: yoga by the ocean in the morning, an excursion or workshop during the day, and a relaxed dinner together in the evening. The host, Viktoria, is a certified yoga teacher with over 1,500 hours of teaching, and she's present throughout—she led every session for my group and was always up for a chat or to help with a posture. She's joined by Ivan, an energy therapist who runs a workshop on the chakra system, so there's a bit more depth than your average beach yoga holiday.
