Maldives.net.mv – W Hotels Worldwide first ever fitness program, FIT with Tara Stiles, comes back to the Maldives. In partnership with the industry’s yoga rebel, FIT with Tara Stiles flips the traditional idea of fitness on its head with a non-traditional approach to working out while on the road. Comprised of a curated in-room workout video designed for the needs of the W traveler, in-room tip cards with quick fixes to get camera-ready in a flash, and an exclusive series of intimate FIT with Tara Stiles workout sessions available at some of the most glamorous locations at W Maldives, the program allows guests to polish their body and mindset in a uniquely W way.

The W guest has a true ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality and wants to look fabulous yet have fun while getting fit. FIT with Tara Stiles is an energetic program designed to celebrate the body and provide 24/7 access to an interactive workout that can easily be incorporated into the busiest of jet-setting lifestyles.

Tapped to create the exclusive in-room workouts for the FIT program, Tara Stiles – founder and owner of Strala Yoga, the high-energy movement system that ignites freedom – locked herself in the suites of several W Hotels and imagined the needs of the W traveler. Her non-purist take on yoga offers a refreshing alternative to tradition and offers a modern spin on the beloved practice. The result is four exclusive workouts that will be printed on in-room tip cards and available via video in every W room and suite around the world. The workouts include:

  • Need a Boost? Whether you want to kick-start your day or night, give your body an energetic lift with a quick yoga fix. Try dancer pose for an instant surge of vitality.
  • Feeling Jet-Lagged? Get relaxed and ready to rock straight from the runway with a quick yoga fix. Try pigeon pose to open your hips and soothe your back.
  •  Big Night Out? Get amped for evening by adding a quick yoga fix to your primping routine. Try an easy side stretch to get you relaxed and ready for party-mode.
  • Need to Recover? Whether feeling tired or had one-too-many the night before, amp up energy with a quick yoga fix. Try an easy, seated twist for an instant boost.

“It was the best kind of challenge, getting myself into the fitness mindset of the W guest,” said Stiles. “By identifying their needs and wants in a workout, I was able to create four unusual, fun, glamorous workouts that can be done whenever, wherever anywhere in the world.”

FIT Gets Personal:  Four exclusive yoga sessions with Tara Stiles.

For those guests who want a more luxurious and physically extensive experience, Stiles will host four exclusive yoga sessions in such locations as the Retreat’s beach, Gaathafushi desert island, AWAY Spa and Extreme WOW Ocean Haven suite (June 14-16).

Guests can also unwind in the spa’s large jacuzzi, one of the Maldives’ most expansive, enhancing the relaxation experience.

Sound healing, an ancient therapeutic practice, uses vibrational frequencies to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and restore the body’s natural balance. Practitioners employ instruments like gongs, crystal bowls, and percussion to create immersive soundscapes that guide individuals into deeper states of self-awareness and tranquility.

Urmi specialises in restorative practices that facilitate immersive and impactful sound experiences. Her name, “Urmi,” meaning “wave” in Sanskrit, reflects her philosophy of bringing ancient practices into modern life. She seeks to deepen understanding of vibration through sound, language, music, nature, and meditation, offering individuals insights into their own inner landscape.

Retreat participants at Sirru Fen Fushi can reconnect with nature in the serene setting of one of the largest natural islands in the region. This unique environment provides an ideal backdrop for holistic wellness, allowing guests to rejuvenate and find inner peace in the midst of tropical beauty.

Guests have the option to book private healing sessions with Urmi, customised to their personal needs, either at the spa or in their villas. These sessions are designed to calm the nervous system, clear energetic and emotional blocks, and help individuals return to their natural state of balance. The therapeutic vibrations stimulate alpha and theta brainwave states, support physiological functions, and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, offering a safe, supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth.
