Maulu Spa offers private yoga classes in Niue. Choose either a session at Lana’s (your yoga instructor’s) clifftop fale nestled in tropical coastal rainforest or opt for a session in the privacy of your Niue accommodation.
Location
Maulu Spa is based along the road between Tamakautoga (where the Scenic Matavai Resort is) and Ana’ana Point. Alternatively, she can come to you wherever you are staying on the island. Sessions are only available by appointment, Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 7 pm.
Private Yoga Sessions
Indulge in the spa’s signature massage, their “Relaxation Massage” combined with a Yoga Nidra session. The one-hour Balinese and Swedish body massage is designed to remove tension, particularly around the shoulder area. The massage is followed by a 30-minute Yoga Nidra session which is a guided meditation.
Malau Spa also offers a Yin Yoga session, which is a slow-paced style of yoga where asanas (positions) are held for longer periods of time. Alternatively, try the Hatha Yoga session, which is a more general category of yoga incorporating most styles. Both yoga sessions last one hour. The mat, bolster and blocks are all provided.
Massage Services
Spa treatments like massages and healing rituals are also provided by Maulu Spa. Check out The Best Spas in Niue for more details on the types of massages available.
