Throughout the Harmonic Bliss Week, participants will embark on an immersive wellness journey, kicking off with an introductory sunrise session followed by evening wind-down sessions. Ali will also provide personalised, private sessions to participants upon prior booking, keeping in mind the time sensitivity. During the 7-day event, Ali will hold a special workshop to include children who may be interested in participating and learning more about the process. The event will conclude with a gratitude meditation and an intimate closing ceremony session by the pool with refreshments.

Furthermore, guests will also have the opportunity to indulge in blissful treatments at the overwater Tamara Spa, where expert therapists provide deeply restorative and therapeutic massages. Complementing the experience is Lily Beach’s exquisite dining selection, offering wholesome, nourishing cuisine to enhance overall well-being.

Rajendra Kumar, a two-time world record holder and gold medallist in yoga, is recognised for his focus on laughter and presence in practice. His record for continuous laughter lasting three hours and 47 minutes reflects his approach to joy as a form of self-discovery. Katrin Berger, a certified yoga teacher, sound healer, and molecular biologist, integrates science and spiritual practice in her sessions, combining sound healing with yoga to encourage balance and connection.

Commenting on the collaboration, Amila Handunwala, General Manager of W Maldives, said, “At W Maldives, we are constantly looking for bold and inspiring ways to elevate the guest experience. The Joy Rituals with Happy Hormones Yoga brings a fresh dimension to wellness, blending the playful spirit of W with transformative practices. It is a chance for our guests to find balance, energy, and joy in one of the world’s most breathtaking settings.”

Rajendra Kumar added, “Yoga is not only about physical postures, it is about living fully, freely, and with a smile. Through The Joy Rituals, we want to remind people that laughter and joy are powerful tools for healing and awakening. Bringing this philosophy to W Maldives feels like the perfect match of spirit and setting.”

Katrin Berger also shared, “Our work is about creating harmony in both body and mind. With sound healing and yoga, guests can release tension, restore balance, and feel more present in their lives. At W Maldives, surrounded by nature and beauty, this experience becomes even more profound. We are thrilled to share The Joy Rituals with guests from around the world.”

Guests may book the Stay, Dine, and Fly package, which includes daily breakfast, a three-course dinner, and roundtrip seaplane transfers. The programme offers visitors an opportunity to engage in two weeks of movement, laughter, and wellness in a Maldivian island setting.yog
