Each September, we’re reminded to take a little extra time for ourselves and prioritize our personal wellness. This year’s Wellness Month theme is Mindfulness in Motion.
Through its programming all month long, ASDA emphasizes the mind-body connection and how movement influences your overall wellbeing. Whether it be a high-intensity workout, low-impact yoga class or a quick stretch between classes, movement can make an impact across multiple dimensions of your wellness. Learn about all five dimensions here.
