Unwind in style at the Huvafen Fushi Maldives yoga retreat

Aspire+, the specialist in luxury contemporary travel, is to offer a yoga wellness retreat with yoga guru, Annoushka Hempel at the LIME spa at Huvafen Fushi Maldives between 18 – 27 October 2007, which will showcase Asana and Kundalini yoga. This is part of a series of wellness retreats to be held at this award-winning property.

Annoushka Hempel, daughter-in-law to the celebrated hotelier and designer, Anoushka Hempel, is a leader in her field. She has been involved with the yoga discipline since 1987, after exploring the teachings of Sivananda, lyengar and Astanga Yoga. After 13 years of training in Asana practice, Annoushka was introduced to the world of Kundalini Yoga, which is both a physical and meditative form to create a communication between ‘mind’ and ‘body’.

The six-day yoga retreat – taking place from 20 – 26 October, forms the basis for this special eight-night package, which has been designed to ‘nourish the body, mind and spirit’. It features:-

• An initial Naturopathic Consultation with the Wellness Mentor, including Iridology & Haemaview

• Daily 90-minute morning Hatha-based flowing practice, which would be Asana based and therefore physical and energising

• Daily 60-minute evening Kundalini Yoga. A more meditative class, sometimes dynamic, incorporating pranayama (breathing) and meditation with some mantra.

• Three nourishing lunches in the spa’s innovative cuisine restaurant, raw

• Three 60-minute choice of indigenous and intuitive massage treatments in the world’s first underwater spa

• A complimentary bottle of LIME Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Aspire+ offer this very special 8-night holiday priced from £3,300 per person, inclusive of the six-day Yoga Retreat, accommodation at the luxurious Huvafen Fushi in a Beach Bungalow with plunge pool, on a bed and breakfast basis, scheduled flights from London Heathrow with SriLankan Airways (based on two sharing) and private transfers.
