Maldives Promotion House – For those wanting to fall in love again, re-discover the secret of a good night’s sleep, lose weight or simply de-stress and recharge flagging energy levels, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has the perfect solution with the launch of five new Wellness Workshops. Available year-round from June 1, 2013, each workshop lasts five days and features the skills of guest yoga practitioner Areeya coupled with the wide range of health and wellness facilities available at the luxury resort’s two spas.
“With two spas, we’re a genuine health and well-being sanctuary and are in the perfect position of being able to help bring health, fitness and even love back into our guests’ lives,” said spa manager Missy Dowell. “We offer a truly holistic programme that draws on elements from all areas of the resort, such as massage, yoga, sound therapy, personal training, meditation and even dining in our underwater restaurant or candlelit baths for overall wellness.”
The five-day programmes are all designed for two and offer a wealth of solutions to modern-day illnesses. Couples seeking to re-connect and re-discover their love for one another can choose the ‘Falling in Love Again’ programme which incorporates traditional romantic experiences such as candlelit dinners and a bath as well as an artfully designed yoga programme that brings couples physically back in sync again.
Likewise, those in the quest for a good night’s sleep and all the benefits that come from being well-rested can benefit from the five-day programme that brings in elements of yoga, sound energy using Tibetan singing bowls and relaxation techniques coupled with sleep-inducing elements such as scented baths and pre-bedtime spa treatments.
The other workshops offer well-being fixes such as de-stressing, weight loss and boosting energy levels over five days.
Programmes are conducted by Areeya, a Thai national and founder of Passionate Yoga®, spent intensive years studying, practicing and teaching yoga in a variety of styles, i.e. Sivananda, Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, hot yoga, pre- and post-natal yoga as well as Pilates, all under the guidance of greatly respected health, holistic and lifestyle gurus.
