Sun Siyam Iru Veli, the ultimate tropical retreat offering laidback luxury at its best, has announced a special celebration for International Yoga Day featuring the esteemed yogi, Yujin, from Korea.

Yujin will be offering exclusive yoga classes at Sun Siyam Iru Veli from June 21st to June 23rd, coinciding with International Yoga Day. Guests can enjoy sunrise and sunset sessions, embracing the tranquility of the Maldivian surroundings while deepening their yoga practice.

International Yoga Day, observed worldwide on June 21st, is a testament to the transformative power of yoga in promoting holistic well-being. Against the backdrop of Sun Siyam Iru Veli’s serene shores, guests will have the opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner peace through the practice of yoga.

Yujin’s profound connection to yoga began in her 20s following a life-altering motorbike accident. Yoga became her anchor during recovery, leading her to explore various styles such as Yin, Vinyasa, and Hatha. Her passion for Ashtanga yoga was ignited in Athens, Greece, propelling her to delve deeper into her practice under influential teachers in Beograd, Mexico, the USA, and her home country, South Korea.

In 2021, Yujin realized her dream by opening her own yoga studio on the serene shores of Jeju island, a hub for Yoga practitioners in South Korea, especially renowned for traditional Hatha yoga. Her commitment to her practice led her to the esteemed Sharath Yoga Centre in Mysore, India, in December 2023, where she further immersed herself in the essence of yoga.

Yujin’s journey is marked by dedication, devotion, and discipline, which have led her to uncover the profound transformative power of yoga. Guests are invited to join her on the mat to explore their own inner strength and serenity, experiencing firsthand the deep impact of yoga in their lives. As the founder of Nyasa Yoga Shala and fluent in English with great teaching skills, Yujin offers a variety of yoga styles including Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Flow Yoga, Yin Yoga, Meditation, and Singing Bowl sessions.

Yujin will be offering exclusive yoga classes at Sun Siyam Iru Veli from June 21st to June 23rd, coinciding with International Yoga Day. Guests can enjoy sunrise and sunset sessions, embracing the tranquility of the Maldivian surroundings while deepening their yoga practice.

“We are honored to welcome Yujin to Sun Siyam Iru Veli for our International Yoga Day celebration,” said Masdhooq Saeed, General Manager of Sun Siyam Iru Veli. “Her dedication to yoga and profound teaching skills align perfectly with our commitment to providing guests with transformative experiences in our idyllic tropical paradise.”

ELE|NA expands sustainable wellness approach for World Earth Day

Published

on

This World Earth Day, ELE|NA is placing sustainability at the centre of its wellness approach through a programme led by Sustainability Ambassadors across its spa network. Through a set of circular practices and guest-facing initiatives, the brand is linking environmental responsibility with the spa experience.

At the centre of the programme are ELE|NA’s Sustainability Ambassadors, team members based in each resort spa who promote environmentally conscious practices. These ambassadors support both staff and guests in adopting sustainable actions, from daily operations to workshops designed to encourage participation and awareness.

Guests are invited to join hands-on sustainability workshops that combine learning with practical activities. These include the Juice Bike, sessions on making natural haircare products, the preparation of coconut and coffee scrubs and oils, and the making of coconut candy. Guests can also take part in a sand bundle workshop, where used spa linen is repurposed into handmade sand bundles later used in spa treatments.

ELE|NA’s sustainability model also extends to resource use within spa and hospitality operations. Apples previously used in infused water are turned into apple chips, while orange peel waste from the kitchen is made into sweets served to guests after treatments. Used herbal tea is repurposed as fertiliser for spa gardens, supporting a circular approach to materials and waste.

The brand is also aligning its Earth Day programming with the 2026 global theme, “Our Power, Our Planet”, by focusing on nature-based healing practices. ELE|NA says this includes reducing the use of synthetic tools and instead incorporating natural materials such as bamboo and coconut shells into treatments. The approach is intended to reflect a model of wellness built around renewal and lower-impact resource use.

This philosophy is also reflected in wellness experiences including Ocean Flow, Reiki, Sunrise Yoga and Floating Sound Bath sessions, which are designed to connect guests more closely with the natural environment. Through these programmes, ELE|NA is positioning wellbeing and environmental awareness as part of the same experience.

ELE|NA has also received Gold Standard accreditation from Sustainable Wellness, a non-profit organisation established in 2020 to provide independent sustainability guidance and benchmarking for the wellness sector. The accreditation marks a step in the brand’s sustainability programme and reflects its stated focus on responsible wellness practices.

Beyond its own spas, ELE|NA is presenting sustainable wellness as an operational model that can be applied across resort and spa settings. The brand says the framework is designed to support guest engagement, brand positioning and service delivery, while also being scalable for hospitality operators seeking to integrate sustainability standards, staff training and wellness programming into their own operations.

Constance Moofushi introduces sound healing and aerial yoga to wellness offering

Published

on

Constance Moofushi, a gem in the heart of the South Ari Atoll, has unveiled an enhanced wellness programme, designed to elevate the guest experience through holistic wellbeing and restorative island serenity. Surrounded by vibrant lagoons and rich coral gardens, the resort blends luxury and simplicity to create an idyllic sanctuary for divers, wanderers, and wellness seekers alike.

At the heart of this renewed offering is Constance Spa, an elegant sanctuary set on a wooden jetty above the turquoise waters. With panoramic ocean views, a shaded relaxation area, 8 treatment rooms, a serene yoga pavilion and a fully equipped fitness room, the spa offers a peaceful setting dedicated to relaxation, renewal and holistic care.

As part of this wellness journey, Constance Spa Moofushi introduces two new experiences: Sound Healing Therapy and Aerial Yoga.

Sound Healing Therapy offers a deeply immersive vibrational experience designed to support the body’s natural self-regulation. Using seven chakra aligned singing bowls, Tingsha Bell, crystal resonant bowl, therapeutic tuning forks, and gentle gong frequencies, the session introduces precisely layered sound waves that interact with the autonomic nervous system. These low-frequency vibrations help the body shift from a sympathetic “stress response”to a parasympathetic state -encouraging slower breathing, reduced muscle tension, and improved emotional balance.

Aerial Yoga brings a playful yet restorative dimension to the wellness programme. Using suspended silk hammocks to support and deepen traditional yoga postures, he practice helps improve flexibility, strengthen the core, release tension and encourage a sense of lightness and renewal. Suitable for all levels, it offers guests a unique way to reconnect body and mind.

To complement these new experiences and enrich the guest experience, Constance Spa Moofushi also offers a diverse array of fitness and wellness sessions, including Mobility & Flexibility, Punch Fit, Balance & Power, and Pilates Mat. Morning Yoga, evening Sunset Serenity, and weekly Wellness Wednesday chakra meditation add further depth to the resort’s holistic approach while personalised coaching and tailored fitness programmes are available for guests seeking more individual support.

With this expanded wellness offering, Constance Moofushi Maldives continues to reaffirm its commitment to creating meaningful experiences that nurture both body and mind in one of the Indian Ocean’s most serene settings.
