Close your eyes and think of your fondest memory of the sea. Remember how gazing at the horizon and the silky water caressing your feet made you feel peaceful and refreshed? The ocean in the Maldives works wonders too – especially when coupled with the health and well-being effects of yoga. During your holiday at Hurawalhi, you can turn to water and to the resort’s yoga and health guru, Sojeesh, to attain balance and a sense of calm.

Sojeesh, whose main inspiration was his grandfather, a well-known healer (vaidya) in Kerala, has been practicing yoga and meditation since childhood, and also specialises in chakra balancing, Ayurveda, marma chikitsa and Reiki.

Many of Hurawalhi’s guests have already experienced the profound benefits of his treatments, with yoga classes proving to be a real hit among all those who wish to admire the beautiful beach scenery while doing something for the well-being of the body.

Sojeesh offers sunset yoga on the sunset beach (next to the island’s back jetty) as well as complimentary sunrise sessions on the Kashibo Restaurant deck.

For the utmost luxury of finding relaxation in the privacy of your villa, or to receive a customized sequence amidst Hurawalhi’s lush gardens, Sojeesh is available for private yoga and meditation classes. To harness the curative powers of the ocean surrounds, our resident yogi performs Reiki and other healings in the over-water spa.
