Coco Bodu Hithi is set to launch the first floating yoga
studio in the Maldives in collaboration with AquaX Academy from Beijing, China.
Founded by lululemon China Ambassador Queenie Xiao, the academy is a pioneer of
innovative water sports and the first to introduce a floating studio concept in
China.
Using stand-up paddle boards in the pristine lagoon of the
island, recreational stand up paddle classes and floating yoga classes will be
made available to guests at Coco Bodu Hithi beginning in March 2020.
Floating yoga, also known as stand-up paddleboard yoga, is
an increasingly popular fitness activity. As with regular yoga, floating yoga
utilises the principles of balance, strength, flexibility, and meditation. The
practice of floating yoga allows guests to embrace the benefit of yoga in
nature, while also participating in an invigorating and unique workout by
constantly finding balance on the moving water.
As part of this collaboration, Coco Bodu Hithi will also be
hosting a four-day SUP- yoga retreat led by elite instructors from AquaX
Academy as part of the "Ocean Sweat Life" SUP retreat program advocated by
Queenie and her fellow lululemon ambassadors who share the love for ocean and
fit-living lifestyle. The first retreat will take place from 15th 19th March
and will include regular yoga classes as well as introductory Stand-up paddling
and floating yoga sessions in the sea.
Queenie said about this exciting new program, "I believe
that bringing workout to water is an exercise regime change which makes our
members happier. The challenge-seeking active society is looking forward to
extending their practice to nature, in which we are excited to take the lead."
