Instructors
Danushka Prasat Fernando
Danushka has practised yoga for over 20 years and holds a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certification. He trained with respected teachers in India . For more than a decade he taught as resident yogi at an exclusive five-star Maldivian resort, working with guests of every background and ability level. Yoga Bee is what he built when he was ready to do it his way — smaller, more personal, in the country he grew up in. He teaches every class himself. No substitutes, no assistants. Before I adapt a session, I listen. Sometimes that takes five minutes. Sometimes I already know from the day before.”
