Coco Bodu Hithi launches the first floating yoga studio in Maldives

Looking for a unique way to get fit? Find balance on the moving water. Experience floating yoga at Coco Bodu Hithi Resort in the Maldives.

Coco Bodu Hithi launches the first floating fitness studio in the Maldives. This innovative concept is a collaborative work between Coco Collection and AquaX Academy from Beijing, China. Founded by lululemon China Ambassador Queenie Xiao, the academy is a pioneer of innovative water sports. AquaX is also the first to introduce a floating studio concept in China.

Using stand-up paddleboards in the pristine lagoon of the island, recreational stand-up paddle classes and floating yoga classes will be available to Coco Bodu Hithi guests beginning this month.

Floating yoga, also known as stand-up paddleboard yoga, is an increasingly popular fitness activity. As with regular yoga, floating yoga utilizes 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.

‘Ocean Sweat Life’

As part of this collaboration, the resort will also host 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 the ocean and fit-living lifestyle. The first retreat will take place from March 15 to 19. It will include regular yoga classes as well as introductory Stand-up paddling and floating yoga sessions in the sea. 

“I believe that bringing the workout to water is an exercise regime change which makes our members happier,” said Queenie about this exciting program. “The challenge-seeking active society is looking forward to extending their practice to nature, in which we are excited to take the lead.”
