SLEEP BETTER

YOGIC SLEEP PROGRAMS AT SIX SENSES RESORTS AND SPAS

The Maldives, Marbella, and more

Yoga is glorious. Sleep is vital. And at nine coastal Six Senses resorts and spas, the power of the former has been crafted to improve your chances of the latter—what could be better? Yogic Sleep programs of three to 14 nights (depending on location) are grounded in several yoga practices, including yoga nidra and pranayama, that allow you to practice your mastery of relaxation, which should help you summon sleep better once you leave the tranquility of the resort. (One could argue these programs borrow the “Z” of Zen for more z’s.) Spa treatments that reinforce relaxation and allow for a sense of indulgence fill out your quiet, slumber-focused days. Novices are welcome, as are more experienced yoga practitioners.
