Nestled amidst the crystal-clear waters, The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives has long been renowned for its unparalleled luxury and breathtaking natural beauty. But beyond the stunning villas and pristine beaches, the resort is elevating the concept of wellness to unprecedented heights, offering guests a transformative journey of mind, body, and spirit.

At the heart of this wellness oasis is Karan Kumar, a highly acclaimed yoga instructor and spa supervisor with over five years of experience in the industry. Karan's passion for holistic well-being is evident in every aspect of his work, as he masterfully blends traditional yoga practices with cutting-edge therapies to create a truly unique and immersive experience for guests.

"The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives is more than just a luxury resort - it's a sanctuary where guests can truly reconnect with themselves and find the perfect balance," says Mai Timblick, Chief Creative Officer. "Our wellness programs are designed to nourish the mind, body, and spirit, empowering guests to unlock their full potential and live their healthiest, most vibrant lives."

Karan's expertise spans a wide range of yoga styles, from the dynamic Ashtanga and Vinyasa flows to the deeply restorative Yin and Hatha practices. He also offers specialized classes in Aqua Yoga, Aerial Yoga, and Therapeutic Yoga, catering to guests of all skill levels and physical abilities. The resort also regularly hosts sunrise and sunset yoga sessions, allowing guests to start or end their day with a rejuvenating practice amidst the stunning natural surroundings. 

But Karan's talents extend far beyond the yoga studio. As the resident spa supervisor, he oversees an impressive array of bespoke treatments and therapies, including crystal sound healing, Tibetan sound therapy, Reiki, and chakra balancing. Guests can also indulge in personalized wellness consultations, where Karan and his team work closely with them to develop a holistic plan for optimal well-being.

"Karan's dedication to his craft is truly inspiring," says Mai Timblick.
