*All of us would like to be healthier, look better, and live well both physically and spiritually. Living well is almost the entire world’s shared dream. With the slogan “One day can change your whole life,” we celebrate Global Wellness Day as an international day. The purpose of Global Wellness Day is to ask the question, even if for just one day, “How can I live a healthier and better life?”, to direct the thoughts of both individuals and society towards “living well” and to raise awareness. The main aims of the day are:

• To recognize the value of our lives
• To pause and think, even if for just one day of the year
• To be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits
• To make peace with ourselves
• To raise awareness about living well and increase motivation, not just for today, but for the remaining 364 days of the year

First celebrated in 2012, Global Wellness Day was established in Turkey as the “first” day dedicated to living well, and has now been accepted worldwide. Reflecting its 11 years of success, on June 11, 2022, Global Wellness Day was celebrated globally with both in-person activities and a 3-Hour Free Livestream Celebration which started in New Zealand and ended in Los Angeles, once again drawing attention to the importance of “living well”. Furthermore, Global Wellness Day was celebrated in tens and thousands of locations reaching over half a billion people, Such as laughter therapy to boost positivity and Tai Chi in Portugal, BoxHITT and Zumba in New Zealand, Pilates and healing yoga in South Korea, “Talk It Out” therapy sessions, group fitness class and workshops/seminars in Kenya, Functional Fitness in Bahrain, and much more. * From website of Global Wellness Day We in Kariyushi Hotels joined this spectacular event in 2022 by introducing Okinawa Vegan Cuisine as one more way to wellness.
