Expert Speak

Yoga today is one of the greatest modalities and will continue to grow as the demand for realistic mind and spirit needs are met. Going hard or going home was a massive trend sometime back, but that is evolving as more and more people want a mix of hard and soft as it incorporates a truly ‘W’holistic approach,” says Prameet Kotak, Holistic Wellness Expert.

Holistic means being emotionally connected to your body and being balanced to progress further. I am working towards improving people’s health span, wherein they can live a healthy life. So, I want to focus more on integrated nutrition,” says Luke Coutinho, Holistic Nutritionist and Physiologist, on why he chose holistic nutrition over other health-related opportunities in India.
