Travelling to Maldives this Christmas? Why not try some paddleboard yoga for an exciting and fun adventure?
Paddleboard yoga is a form of Yoga that originated in America and it is practiced, balancing on a paddleboard atop calm waters. This can be tried on the waters bordering the Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, which is surrounded by beautiful, clear blue, calm waters.
So why give this a go? Here are 6 reasons that you are sure to enjoy:
Yoga is about unity and when it is practiced outside it harmonises you with your surroundings. Fresh air, vitamin D and the natural landscape will definitely fill you with a sense of wonder and beauty.
Floating in the middle of the ocean is sure to let you feel a sense of calm and will put you at ease.
If you do lose your balance and fall into the water, which is likely, you learn to get back up and keep going! This is an important life lesson and the sooner you accept falling into the water the faster you will settle into the confidently carrying out the poses.
The possibility of falling into the water is the best motivation to help you focus and master paddleboard yoga.
Standing atop a paddleboard in the middle of the ocean, doing yoga poses without tipping over with a loss of balance only to splash into the calm waters around you is definitely a challenge. If you are proficient in your normal yoga poses on land this is a challenge to take up.
Imagine waking up early in the morning and heading out to see a beautiful sunrise, while floating in the middle of the ocean. Then imagine spending an hour balancing atop your paddleboard with other guests of the resort, helping and laughing together. What more can you ask for on a holiday?
