Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives has recently welcomed Malvika Pant, a passionate and inspiring yoga instructor, to its team. With a journey rooted in personal transformation and a deep love for wellness, Malvika is set to bring a renewed sense of energy and serenity to the resort’s wellness offerings.
What excites you the most about working at Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives?
It’s the perfect combination of my two passions—yoga and nature. Teaching yoga in the serene and picturesque surroundings of the Maldives feels like a dream. What makes it even more special is meeting guests from around the world and helping them rejuvenate and reconnect through yoga.
Could you describe your role and the types of yoga classes you plan to offer?
As a yoga instructor and as an island host, my role involves guiding guests through a variety of yoga sessions. I’ll be offering Hatha yoga for beginners, dynamic Vinyasa flows, and restorative yoga for deep relaxation. I’m also excited to host sunrise and sunset yoga sessions, which perfectly align with the tranquil beauty of the island.
What drew you to the Maldives, and how has your experience been so far?
The Maldives captivated me with its pristine beauty and peaceful atmosphere—it’s an ideal environment for yoga and mindfulness. The opportunity to work in such an inspiring place, while connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, was irresistible. My experience so far has been amazing. The culture is so welcoming, and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
What are some hobbies or activities you enjoy outside of teaching yoga?
I love dancing, especially Zumba, as it keeps me active and creative. Spending time by the beach and exploring nature are other ways I unwind. I’m also passionate about creating short videos—capturing beautiful moments and adding voiceovers to share stories is something I find really fulfilling.
How do you balance your passion for yoga with your other interests?
For me, yoga and my other interests complement each other beautifully. Yoga keeps me grounded and energised, while activities like content creation keep my creativity alive. As an Island Host, I get to integrate these passions into my work, whether it’s organising diverse guest activities or simply sharing my creative side. It’s all about aligning your work with what you love to do, and I’ve been lucky enough to find that harmony.
Whether you join her for a rejuvenating yoga class or simply seek her advice on mindfulness, Malvika’s presence promises to make your stay in Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives even more enriching.
