ELE|NA celebrated the 10th International Day of Yoga across beautiful locations in the Maldives. This year’s theme was “Yoga for Self and Society”, highlighting the profound impact yoga has on personal wellbeing and the wider community. ELE|NA believes that cultivating a culture of wellness extends beyond guests to its dedicated staff and should be part of everyday behaviour and community life.
ELE|NA in the Maldives will feature a wide range of yoga activities for beginners to experts, with each session carefully structured around this year’s theme, highlighting how yoga can improve individual health and contribute to societal wellbeing.
As part of the celebrations, ELE|NA at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi had the honor of hosting members of the Maldives Cancer Society for a soothing morning yoga session followed by a healthy breakfast. The event highlighted the holistic benefits of yoga and its role in promoting physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, especially for those with health challenges. It was an inspiring and transformative experience, showcasing yoga’s power to foster a supportive and healing community environment.
