Wellness
Defined

Perhaps you think about fitness, yoga, or health.
And you are right.
Robust health and a great body belong to the wellness scope, but they are only a part of it.
Holistic wellness is much more than good shape and the absence of diseases.
Holistic wellness is a conscious state in which we make choices towards our full potential, through a balanced integration of our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational, and social self.
