Exploring new destinations creates adventures, leaving little time for your routine of mindfulness and exercise. So, what better way to find the right balance than with a grounding practice in the world’s most picturesque settings?

Here is a selection of beautiful yoga classes at Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, to welcome the mindful art of yoga as your travelling companion.

 

Panoramic views from Tramuntana Terrace

You don’t need to be flexible or an avid fitness enthusiast to perfect your downward facing dog against the backdrop of a dramatic mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea around the Balearic island of Mallorca. Unfurl your yoga mat on Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa’s panoramic Tramuntana Terrace and take a class personalised to your needs.

Days: Three times a week
Location: Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa’s Talise Spa or Tramuntana Terrace, weather permitting

Inhale… on an idyllic island

Step into paradise in the Maldives and allow Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island’s Mindful Collection of wellness activities at its Talise Spa to strengthen the connection between your mind and body.

Choose a class suited to your ability. Take your pick from Sunrise Yoga, a class perfect for early risers; the slow, rhythmic poses of Yoga Flow – which are designed to improve flexibility and alignment – or Yoga Nidra, a meditative practice where the mind is guided to a state between sleep and wakefulness.

Take a session on meditation or one-on-one pranayama to focus on breathing techniques that invite a sense of calm. Align your qi, or inner energy, to the deep, soothing sounds reverberating from the Tibetan sound bowl struck by the spa’s in-house practitioners.

Prenatal Yoga meanwhile, designed for expecting mothers looking to unwind, uses movements to stimulate blood circulation and alleviate discomfort or pain.

Days: Monday to Friday and Sunday
Location: Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island’s Talise Spa 

 

Exhale… in a beachside oasis

Yoga instructor Rahul Nag, the UAE winner of the Hall of Wellness Awards 2020 – a global celebration of yoga practitioners – will take you on a mindful journey towards centredness at Madinat Jumeirah, through a yogic routine for every life stage. Try vinyasa yoga which uses a series of flows to help build endurance while perfecting your posture, or yin yoga for a deep relaxation of the muscles or a meditation session with sound therapy. Allow your junior travellers to learn new movements with a kids’ yoga class or practice the art as a family with a session for parents and children. You will also find a selection of prenatal and postnatal yoga classes which use gentle movements and deep breathing practices.
Timing: Private and group classes available everyday and special classes on full moon nights
Location: Madinat Jumeirah’s private beach or serene yoga garden
