Wellness Workshop – Monash University, School of Business (Admin)
Stepping into an educational institution after 12 years brought back many meaningful memories. It also reminded me of an unexpected turn in life.
After a 22-year career as a Senior Lecturer, due to my own personal health reasons, it led me into the health and wellness industry and business.
At 58, I started Nava’s Zen. It was not planned, but something that unfolded over time.
At 62, last week, I conducted a small group wellness session for staff at the School of Business, Monash University.
The session was intentionally not slide-based or lecture-style. Instead, it was informal and relaxed.
It began with simple conversations on stress management, boundaries, and self-care. This was followed by breathwork, chair-based stretching, and a low-impact Zumba session. It concluded with discussion and sharing on wellness, followed by lunch.
A very different experience compared to slide-based, note-taking, lecture-style wellness workshops.
This is a reminder for all of us in our 60s, our prime age. We can grow and shine even after our 60s, regardless of what life brings.
Most importantly, it is about taking care of our health, energy, and strength, and looking good in our own way.
