A transformational three-night programme in the Peloponnese curated and hosted by Maria Sharapova from 23 – 26 September
Tennis legend and Aman Global Wellness Ambassador, Maria Sharapova will host a bespoke wellness retreat at Amanzoe, Greece. Taking place from 23-26 September 2024, the transformational three- night programme will focus on building resilience through a combination of physical challenges and lessons in mental endurance.
Set amongst the olive groves and Aegean vistas of Amanzoe’s hilltop location, the retreat is designed to help cultivate a strong mental foundation, find emotional balance and equip participants with the tools to navigate the demands of the everyday.
Maria built a legendary tennis career by honing the relationship between mindset and execution. Incorporating a holistic approach to mind and body performance led her to become a champion, and she brings this unique perspective and skillset to the retreat at Amanzoe.
‘Over many years, I learned how to build a phenomenal foundation of strength, resilience, focus and determination. It was vital to success,” says Maria.
“I am excited to take Amanzoe’s guests through a truly holistic experience that I’ve developed, reflecting the approach I finetuned over 20 years to achieve elite performance. A strong body and strong mind are something we should all strive for and between Aman’s unparalleled wellness expertise and mine, we’re eager to bring this retreat to life.’
Led by Maria and Amanzoe’s expert wellness team, against the serene backdrop of the Greek countryside, the programme is divided into three parts:
Understanding Mental Resilience
After an introduction from Maria and lunch, the first day starts with a guided meditation, focussed on cultivating inner strength and acceptance. A group discussion with Maria on her journey to towards mental resilience and approach to challenges follows, before a Hamman treatment or Anatripsis (soft tissue) therapy to cleanse and detoxify the body and mind.
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. In the afternoon enjoy a hiking and outdoor strength workout, designed to develop stamina, and later, a mind and body agility session with Maria on the tennis court.
