The pioneering wellness platform Dhaka Flow, in collaboration with Baridhara Society, hosted a trans-formative two-day festival of yoga and wellness at the scenic Baridhara Society Park last weekend. The festival – titled “Inspire Her Wellness” – designed to honor Women’s Day, offered attendees a holistic experience centred on movement, mindfulness, health, nature, and community, free of charge.
The event showcased a rich tapestry of activities, attracting over 10,000 wellness enthusiasts and experts alike, converging to explore and exchange knowledge on health, well-being, climate change, and the empowerment of women entrepreneurs, according to a media release.
Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor, Atiqul Islam, set a positive tone for the festival’s second day, emphasizing the significance of utilising community parks for wellness initiatives. Chief Guest and State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid later highlighted the crucial role of healthy living, urging the youth to adopt lifestyle tips from Dhaka Flow’s extensive offerings.
Shazia Omar, co-founder of Dhaka Flow and a celebrated yogini, shared her insights on holistic well-ness, “Being holistically well offers us a different kind of freedom. It not only improves our quality of life and longevity, but also gives us the ability to stay grounded in the present moment, free from the prison of past regrets, future worries, illness, disease and negative thoughts.”
