As International Yoga Day nears, brands are creating wellness experiences to celebrate the day and here’s everything you need to know!
1. Namrata Purohit Launches Her Activewear Brand KYN
KYN is created for people who wear athleisure as a lifestyle rather than just for workouts. Colour plays a defining role in the collection, bringing a sense of playfulness and individuality to everyday activewear while remaining versatile and easy to style. Each piece is designed to move naturally with the body, feeling intuitive and polished without appearing overly technical. The name KYN is inspired by the word "kin", symbolising connection, belonging, and community. It also stands for Kanushee y Namrata, with “y” meaning “and” in Spanish, reflecting two perspectives coming together to create something meaningful.
2. The Anam Mui Ne, Vietnam Launches Champa-Inspired Wellness Journeys
Luxury beachfront resort The Anam Mui Ne has unveiled ‘Champa Journey’, a new collection of four spa rituals inspired by Mui Ne’s ties to the ancient Champa Kingdom and Vietnam’s herbal healing traditions. The rituals include the ‘Champa Dawn Renewal', a purifying steam therapy, followed by an Ayurvedic head massage and herbal foot ritual. Also starting out with a head massage and foot ritual, ‘Champa Sacred Earth’ centres on a herbal oil massage and a warm rice herbal compress massage to ground the body and quiet the mind. Designed to restore the body’s natural energy flow, ‘Champa Flow Within’ combines a wave-inspired massage with a herbal bath ritual. Undergirded by the healing power of flowers, ‘Champa Bloom Essence’ combines detoxifying steam therapy with a mineral-rich mud facial and a sound healing session to encourage a meditative state and restore emotional balance. Each ‘Champa Journey’ experience also includes light macrobiotic refreshments concocted from herbs, grains, seeds and native botanicals.
3. Dubai Introduces a Law Establishing Dubai Longevity Authority
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has issued Law No. (17) of 2026, establishing the Dubai Longevity Authority (DLA), a new entity that aims to develop the emirate as the world's leading hub for regulated longevity, wellness and advanced healthcare offerings and forge paths for investment flows. Leveraging cutting-edge innovation, robust governance, and strategic partnerships, the establishment of DLA will support the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33, and the Dubai Social Agenda 33, which aim, respectively, to position Dubai among the top three cities globally for quality of life and achieve a leading position in healthy life expectancy. DLA is mandated to establish and implement a science-driven, risk-proportionate regulatory framework for longevity-related therapies and innovations. The authority will licence and supervise activities across the entire value chain: research and development, clinical trials, manufacturing, delivery, and patient clinics. Launched in close coordination with key government entities, including Dubai Health Authority, Dubai Health, Dubai Municipality and Dubai Future Foundation, DLA will align its activities with the highest international standards, ensuring excellence and compliance across the sector.
