Soundbites from The Great Indian Wellness Show 2021

Soundbites from The Great Indian Wellness Show 2021

The Great Big Indian Wellness Show by iGlobal came at a time when England is coming out of an 18-month-long lockdown. It is not easy to recall a time pre-Covid but it may finally be possible to look beyond Covid.

A two-day virtual event, on July 16 and 17, with a focus on all aspects of wellness and solely focussing on holistic wellbeing could not have been better timed. The event showcased a galaxy of over 60 wellness experts, engaging sessions and masterclasses on Yoga and Meditation, Ayurveda and Mindfulness, Healthy Eating and Workouts, and so much more wellness magic.

Besides nuggets of advice from the masters of wellness, there was also a lot of entertainment packed into the sessions. The experts dealt with a wide array of questions that play on our minds on the road to health and fitness and also helped bust many myths, be it around weight loss diets or diabetes.

Apart from general wellness, fitness sessions, mindfulness, and meditation, some exclusive shows on subjects like workplace wellbeing, Ayurveda for long-term Covid, sound bath meditation, parenting the Ayurveda way, and many such were a real eye-opener.
