Unlocking Resilience with Maktub Wellness’s WARRIOR Program, Led by Alysha Damji

In a world where mental and physical demands seem relentless,

WARRIOR, a unique day-long retreat by Maktub Wellness, offers a sanctuary for those in high-stress roles—first responders, military personnel, and athletes.

Led by wellness expert Alysha Damji,

the program combines Ayurveda, yoga, breathwork, and hot-cold therapy to reset, revive, and recharge.

But this isn’t your average spa day;

it’s a journey into resilience, with nature as the backdrop and focus as the goal.

The WARRIOR program isn’t just about a quick release from the daily grind.

Alysha has crafted this experience with science-backed, deeply grounding practices that bring participants out of a reactive state and into a restorative one.

The day begins with guided yoga, inviting participants to reconnect with their breath, centre their mind, and release physical tension.

From here, they’re led into Ayurvedic practices—

a holistic health science rooted in balance—

that align body and mind through customized nutrition, energy alignment, and self-care rituals.

Alysha’s guidance is invaluable, helping each participant to understand not just the “how” but the “why” behind each step.

Then comes a central feature of WARRIOR: cold immersion therapy.

The ice bath, as Alysha incorporates, is both a test and a teacher, nudging participants past physical discomfort into mental clarity.

This immersive shock, while intense, is backed by studies highlighting its benefits on resilience, mental toughness, and even endorphin release.

The sharp cold, balanced by periods of warmth and reflection, acts as a powerful metaphor for learning to find calm amidst any storm—

a lesson familiar to warriors in all senses of the word.

Throughout the day, Alysha emphasizes a recalibration of body and mind, encouraging participants to release long-held physical and emotional tension.

By integrating mindfulness, movement, and targeted therapy, WARRIOR helps each person leave behind accumulated stress and gain mental and physical tools that they can take home and apply long-term.

The day wraps up with meditation and reflection, where Alysha encourages participants to set intentions,

reinforcing that this experience is more than a retreat—

it’s a new foundation for resilience and personal well-being.

For anyone in a high-stakes role, or those who simply need a total reset,

WARRIOR offers an intense yet deeply rewarding journey. To learn more or to book, visit Maktub Wellness WARRIOR.
