Yoga Retreats in Malé

Going on 'retreat' tends to conjure up images of bunking down, going deep and attending to your 'spiritual side', whatever that means...  for a male of the species, it isn't the normal place to go in order to spend precious days away from the office – we normally love football, sailing, spending time with the mates at the pub, or whatever activity is associated with the stereotypical alpha male.

The internet is ablaze with photos of yoga power-couples. Gazing at them exploring wild acro yoga poses, meditating side-by-side, and practicing yoga together, I find myself thinking, “why can’t my relationship look like that too?” I am not alone in this desire — for every girl whose man (willingly) practices yoga with her, there is an envious girl who craves that unity too.

Yoga has always encouraged us to reconnect with ourselves and nature. But our busy urban lives often compel us to attend classes in indoor studios.
