Vaavu Atoll’s enchanting inhabited island, Fulidhoo Island is rich in natural wonders with pristine white sand beaches,  illuminating turquoise waters and vibrant marine life. In recent years, Fulidhoo has seen an inflow of tourists that are interested in finding Maldivian vacation paradise on a budget and with their inexpensive accommodation and all the natural beauty that encompasses the island, it is perfect. This is also a great way for guests to get in touch with the local culture and traditions as the island is famous for its “Langiri” events, a traditional dance with boduberu (drums) and tambourines. Guests will also venture into new realms of stress-free wellness and self-care with the silent sereneness that surrounds the island. 

Fulidhoo Island is to host the country’s first ever yin yoga therapy training course in September 2021. This 200 hour program is held in one of the local beachside guesthouses, in which the four week course will be taught by founder of The Mind-Body-Soul Centre in Goa, Alexandra Denkinger. This course is Yoga Alliance accredited and will leave successful participants as certified yoga instructors. This is a great opportunity to indulge in meaningful yet enjoyable experiences even whilst you’re on vacation. There is also the option of taking a shorter 100 hours course (two week option) for those that require it.

This course at Fulidhoo would relax your mind, body and soul as Yin Yoga focuses mainly on balance, physically, mentally and energetically. Those that attend this training will gain vast understanding of the theory behind each movement, breath and stretch with enough confidence to lead a yin yoga therapy class, as they will gain enough knowledge to pursue teaching on their own. Fulidhoo’s venture into Yin Yoga is open for anybody from experienced yoga teachers venturing into this particular field or those that are at the beginning of their journey in yoga, everybody is welcome to join. This wonderful opportunity for you to gain practical and feasible knowledge is set to begin on 31 August 2021 till 25 September 2021 while the 100 hour courses start on 6 September till 18 September 2021.

Fulidhoo Island’s impressive journey into providing guests with opportunities to learn practical skills that could change the course of their lives is admirable. Apart from being one of the most exquisite island’s its ability to meet the needs of their guests while elevating their experiences are truly outstanding.
