The H.O.W. Forum conducts various corporate and non-corporate health and wellness programs/workshops. Our primary focus is on Yoga. A few of our popular workshops are: Yoga@Work, Yoga for business travellers, Yoga for Stress management, Yoga for Relief from 21 lifestyle-related health problems, motivational talks and much more…

Fitness in today’s times is perceived as being SIZE ZERO, most of us don’t find it realistic enough, hence give up on it before we even begin. The H.O.W. forum is a community in the making that focusses on real-time holistic wellness. It is about building strength, endurance, flexibility and stamina.

Health,fitness and wellness is a choice that we make for ourselves.

As they say, the first step is the most important, however, the most challenging! Generating awareness about wellness and getting people/organisations to take the first step towards it is probably the most challenging part.

By keeping the core foundation strong. Most of us would agree on the importance of Health Fitness and Wellbeing in urban lifestyles. Reaching out and generating awareness enough, such that it leads to prompt action is the simplest way to overcome all challenges.

The online community is Women focussed, However, Yoga and wellness workshops/activities/programs are conducted for a mixed group comprising of both men and women.

We define investments a bit differently. The interest, followed by action taken by organisations towards investing in the health and wellbeing of their employees, is rewarding enough for our business, and that’s critical. A recent few to name would be CapGemini, MindTree, Harman etc.

The H.O.W. Forum is in its nascent stages. The USP of my business is that I personally conduct all my workshops. Hence, brain drain is probably a challenge scheduled for the future…and one shall cross the bridges as they come!

Self Belief; Lead by example; Determination

LinkedIn, Facebook, WordPress blog, WhatsApp and YouTube

The never give up attitude and the ability to adapt to change. Hence, all our workshops are highly customised as per client requirements.

Wouldn’t really want to change it but, it does get you in challenging situations every now and then, and that’s “Being Realistic in a world of Frills”

• One tip to success

Set realistic goals, achieve them and periodically Step up!

• One mistake you believe every individual must avoid

Setting unrealistic goals/idols especially in terms of health can be hugely demotivating for a taking the first step towards building a wellness regime for self.

• One most important lesson that you have learnt till now

You are uniquely YOU…respect it

I would want the next 3 years to be packed back to back with workshops on Yoga and wellness and if possible culminate it with a grand , inter-corporate YOGATHON!

My career stemmed out from myself being a whopping 94 kgs and dropping over 30 kgs with no rigid diets, personal trainers, extensive workouts etc. Looking back I realise that my journey adds a lot of value to my work, hence, would not want to do much differently, other than generating awareness on health and wellness a bit earlier in life.

…And that’s the motto of the H.O.W. Forum “Making a woman fall in love again, This time with HERSELF.”
