The Maldives’ latest wellness innovation arrives at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma, where guests can now transform their yoga practice into an extraordinary maritime adventure through Float & Flow Yoga – an immersive stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga experience that redefines tropical fitness and mindfulness.
This groundbreaking wellness activity invites participants to practice yoga on a uniquely designed floating platform, challenging traditional studio boundaries and offering an unparalleled connection with the ocean’s serene environment. The specialized SUP Yoga Dock, artfully designed in a flower-like configuration with eight individual board “petals”, provides an intimate and supportive setting for both seasoned yogis and wellness novices.
Led by resident Yoga Instructor Courtney Chambers, the 60-minute sessions promise a transformative experience that blends physical balance, breath control, and playful interaction with nature. “SUP yoga isn’t just about maintaining poses,” Chambers explains, “it’s about embracing vulnerability, finding joy in movement, and reconnecting with the natural world in its most pristine form.”
Carefully curated class schedules run every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 10:00 am, with strictly limited enrollment of eight participants per session. This exclusive approach ensures personalized attention and a supportive group dynamic. The class is priced at US$45 per person, offering an accessible yet premium wellness experience.
For those seeking to immortalize their maritime yoga journey, the resort offers an optional professional drone photography and videography package at US$25 per person. This additional service provides guests with high-quality visual memories of their unique oceanic yoga adventure.
Participants are recommended to arrive dressed in comfortable swimwear or yoga attire, with a suggested early arrival of 10 minutes at the Perfect Wave Surf Shop for a comprehensive pre-session briefing. The activity caters to various wellness goals – from mindful movement to pure recreational enjoyment.
This innovative program underscores Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma’s commitment to offering distinctive, holistic experiences that go beyond traditional resort activities. By merging fitness, mindfulness, and the breathtaking Maldivian seascape, Float & Flow Yoga represents a novel approach to wellness tourism.
Whether seeking physical challenge, mental rejuvenation, or simply a unique tropical experience, guests can discover a fresh perspective on yoga that harmonizes body, mind, and the extraordinary marine environment of the Maldives.
