Celebrate International Yoga Week in Paradise at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort
This summer offers the perfect opportunity to realign mind and body amidst the serene beauty of the Maldives. In celebration of International Yoga Day on June 21st, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is hosting an immersive five-day yoga retreat from June 20th to 24th. Led by renowned Dubai-based instructor Emilia Métaireau, the retreat is offering a transformative escape from the everyday. Thoughtfully timed for a mid-summer reset, the experience welcomes wellness seekers to disconnect from routine and rediscover inner harmony through mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation, set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of the world's most idyllic island destinations.Curated as a signature event for International Yoga Day, this retreat celebrates holistic healing, blending ancient yogic traditions with modern techniques to create a soul-stirring experience. Daily sunrise sessions awaken the senses, while thoughtful evening practices help ground the body and soothe the mind. Guided meditations and energy healing techniques further enhance self-awareness and spiritual connection.Lead instructor for the retreat, Emilia Métaireau, is a passionate advocate for mindful movement and self-care, with over a decade of dedicated practice. Internationally certified in London and having led more than 2,500 hours of classes and retreats around the world, she brings a grounded yet expansive energy to every session. Her approach blends conscious movement, breathwork, and ancient wisdom to guide guests back to their bodies and inner clarity.At the heart of the retreat lies the ancient yogic philosophy of the five koshas - a powerful framework for self-discovery and holistic wellbeing. According to yoga tradition, each human being is made up of five interconnected layers, or sheaths, known as koshas, which shape our experience of life, spirituality, and self-realisation. These include the Annamaya Kosha (physical body), Pranamaya Kosha (energy body), Manomaya Kosha (mental body), Vijnanamaya Kosha (intellectual body), and the innermost Anandamaya Kosha (bliss body). Each kosha holds the potential to guide us inward - toward balance, clarity, and the essence of who we truly are. Through thoughtfully curated practices of yoga, meditation, and mindful movement, this retreat offers a deeply experiential journey through these five koshas, helping you peel back each layer and return to a place of inner harmony, joy, and embodied freedom.AVI Spa, the resort's luxury wellness retreat, welcomes guests to their overwater sanctuary to enjoy signature treatments and wellness therapies, perfect for guests seeking peace and serenity. AVI Spa translates to "sunshine" in the language of its island home, beautifully reflecting the transformative experiences it provides for its guests. The resort's retreat program offers guests a unique opportunity to embark on a deeply holistic journey that nurtures every aspect of your being, restoring balance, enhancing vitality, and reconnecting you with your authentic self.Sitting on the idyllic southernmost tip of Raa Atoll, on the edge of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and bordering a juvenile manta ray aggregation spot, the resort is perfectly situated for indulging in a retreat experience. As the first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, guests are truly spoiled with indulgent complimentary benefits alongside luxurious five-star Maldivian facilities such as overwater villas, an adults-only area including pool and restaurant, and a tranquil spa where guests can enjoy guided meditation and yoga sessions to support mindfulness and recentering. With six restaurants and bars and 81 villas and residences, guests have the luxury to choose their hideaway as well as exceptional food and beverage options.Retreat Highlights & Activity ScheduleWhen: 20th – 24th June 2025Day 1 - June 20thTheme: Annamayakosha - Awaken to your bodyDynamic Vinyasa Flow (90 minutes)Time: 9:00 AMDay 2 - June 21stTheme: Pranamayakosha - Cultivate vibrant vitalityYin & Yoga Nidra (90 minutes)Time: 6:00 PMDay 3 - June 22ndTheme 1.
