The world's largest underwater restaurant, located in the Hurawalhi Maldives Resort, recently hosted a pop-up yoga event. Housed in a dome-like structure that boasts unbelievable tranquility and unity with aquatic life, the mindful exercise session led by instructor Jessica Olie was the first-of-its-kind. The mesmerizing sights of fish in their natural habitats, the overall serene quality of water and the color blue, as well as the inherently quiet ambiance of being underwater ensured that the attendees of this pop-up yoga event found immeasurable "physical and mental rewards" and a "zen-like state of mind."
