Yoga and Wellness
‘Wellness’ is an active process through which people become aware of and make choices toward a more successful existence. Wellness is a multifaceted concept that incorporates seven dimensions namely – social, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, environmental and occupational wellness. These aspects are believed to be a worthy focus for employee and student wellness programs. It is important to be able to identify these dimensions and implement a program that addresses these within an organization.
