Skills for Building Resilience
Day two begins with a group Pranayama breathwork and sound bath session and afterwards a healthy al- fresco breakfast in Amanzoe’s bostani garden.

Resilience in Action
The day commences with group Trataka (candle-gazing meditation) at the Yoga Pavilion, followed by breakfast and a dynamic strength workout focussed on mobility with Amanzoe’s fitness instructors. Cellgym and contrast therapy follow in the afternoon, recommended to increase mental alertness, promote better sleep, and facilitate recovery from physical and mental fatigue. The day closes with a tennis clinic from Maria, who will also host a dinner with the group that evening.
On the day of departure, a Pranayama session and sound bath finish out the programme and prepare the mind for the journey ahead.
All meals, in-room snacks and a curated Aman Essentials Wellness Kit (including an Aman Ocean Bottle, Maria’s favourite Aman Skincare products and essential oils) complement the retreat, which also includes ample free time to relax and enjoy Amanzoe’s tranquil setting.
Appointed as Aman’s Global Wellness Ambassador in 2023, Maria has drawn on her decades of experience to build a retreat that leaves participants renewed, inspired and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with grace. From immigrating to the USA at five years old to pursue her tennis dream, to transitioning from her career as a tennis legend to mother and entrepreneur, Maria’s journey has been marked by overcoming numerous challenges.
In addition to the retreat, and as part of her ambassador role, Maria has curated a half-day Strength & Recovery experience at Aman New York, available year-round.
Places for The Building Resilience Retreat at Amanzoe are limited, however, further retreats across Aman destinations will be announced in due course.
