HEALTHY, HOLISTIC & HOT: THE FASTEST GROWING TRENDS IN HOLISTIC WELLNESS TODAY

 

Healthy living is that the world's best trending movement.

This spring I drove across the us from the Pacific Northwest all the thanks to New England - the great distance via the California Coast, Texas, and up through the Southeast - everywhere I went I found healthy food, yoga studios, and new businesses and events shooting up celebrating healthy living.

I saw pop-up yoga classes within the park in Oklahoma, organic food stores in small towns in Texas, amazing coops in Kentucky, and new juice bars in almost every city.

I met massage therapists, doulas, volatile oil enthusiasts, martial artists, herbalists, chiropractors, and energy healers from the West to East Coasts.

It wasn't this manner before. I remember once I moved faraway from my home state of latest Hampshire 20 years ago and organic food was something most of the people didn't realize , and that i had to drive far and wide to urge it, and there was just one yoga class at an area civic center .

Moving to the West Coast within the '90's felt sort of a whole new world of abundant organic food choices and healing arts practitioners, and was an excellent place to expand, learn, begin, and grow my work as a wellness entrepreneur.

Now I've returned to the town I grew up in to seek out multiple grocery stores to buy for organic and healthy foods, an abundance of yoga studios, holistic centers, and movement studios offering everything from aerial yoga to Reiki to parkour.

There's farm-to-table restaurants, cafes with smoothies and bowls galore, and a green market within the downtown. The healthy living movement has expanded everywhere and most rapidly within the past 10 years.

I've driven across the USA now 7 times within the past 20 years, and it's easier than ever before to seek out holistic options across the country.

Now I'll cruise through alittle town within the middle of the country and call out signs for holistic businesses as I see them: "Tai Chi! Yoga! Smoothies! Organic Coffee! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Underwater Massage!"

No longer do I carry a tattered copy of the Tofu Tollbooth (a fun, yet outdated, book from the 90's) on my roadtrips to seek out the few and much between food stores. Now my smart phone gives me exact directions to an abundance of options for natural grocery stores and locavore restaurants wherever i'm going - and there is new ones opening all the time!

WELLNESS IS GROWING WORLDWIDE!

While the US is that the global leader within the wellness movement, healthy living may be a growing global trend with Europe and China also leading the way.

From 2013 to 2015 the worldwide Wellness Industry rose 10.6% to $3.72 trillion, while the worldwide economy actually decreased -3.6%.

The options for healthy living and empowered holistic self-care is rising everywhere the planet .

I see this in my work supporting holistic wellness educators, coaches, and professionals globally in my courses and training , and listen to the stories of latest opportunities and services being offered everywhere.

You can take yoga classes in Kenya, get doula services in Sweden, experience healing massage within the Netherlands, sit during a women's circle in Israel, attend the spa in Japan, learn energy healing in Malaysia, hire a midwife in Chile, and find herbal healing in South Africa .

Wherever you go, if you shop around you will find that self-care is that the new healthcare.

More and more people are looking to support their health naturally to stop sickness or disease before it strikes.

WHAT'S HOT IN HOLISTIC HEALTH NOW

The expansive wellness movement is creating new opportunities in healthy living for private empowerment, professional practice, and wellness entrepreneurs.

If you would like to start out or grow a wellness business - this is often the simplest time to hitch the party (you know, the type of party with raw cacao, flower essences, rooftop deck yoga, and crystal bowl music - instead of alcohol, drugs, or all-night warehouse raves).

Here's a number of the most well liked trends in wellness today...

Beauty gets better.

The beauty industry is getting a makeover; now wealthy is about feeling good.

Clean beauty, supplements, probiotics, mood support, massage, acupuncture, and brain practices to de-stress to urge happy are shaping the high growth of the new pure beauty movement.

In addition to the new beauty practices listening to inner beauty, spa environments are becoming a makeover too, as attention to beautiful architecture, healing spaces, lighting, sound, and saunas all become magnets for people desiring the foremost beautiful spaces to urge their beauty treatments done.

Happiness is vital .

The largest focus within the wellness market is mental well-being.

Mood boosting and mind-body-spirit balancing is seen growing everywhere as spas, hotels, and health centers specialise in creating beautiful environments, adding more meditation, sound healing, and artistic arts programs.

Healthy food, supplements, essential oils, and bodywork are focused not just on physical benefits but the emotional and mental benefits too.

From breathwork, to brainwaves, to sleeping - health is now all about enhancing our minds and our moods.

Accessibility Booms

It's easier than ever to seek out wellness in additional communities because of the growing specialise in healthy spaces and giving back to communities.

Wellness tourism and travel are an enormous a part of the growing healthy lifestyle market. Wellness hotels are shooting up altogether the large cities and cities are rebranding themselves as wellness destinations, promoting their local holistic practitioners, health centers, and nature activities for the health conscious visitor.

In local communities, there are more mind-body-spirit classes and practitioners, and community gardens, labyrinths, and rejuvenating places are growing everywhere .

Practitioners are giving back in bigger ways, and now you'll find classes on the way to make green smoothies at senior centers, and yoga teachers at women's shelters.

This is an excellent time to think outside of the box - and expand your offerings of wellness to the community in new ways. Now quite ever people are open and receptive to learning methods of feeling better, and staying healthy.

Wellness at Work

The corporate world is hep health.

Employers are realizing the powerful benefits of helping their employees to remain healthy and happy.

There's a rise in calm meditative spaces in offices for yoga, silence, and even napping, also as more demand for yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, and fun fitness (like office mini-golf and playground slides) within the corporate world.

Corporate wellness programs pay off by increasing job productivity and focus, also as reducing absenteeism and sick-days.

Nutrition Gets a lift

We're going beyond superfoods, now the nutritional buzzwords are adaptogens, mushrooms, collagen, and liposomal delivery systems.

Customizable whole food diets, meal plans, and enhancing our daily supplements and meals with extra boosts of nutrition are all hot immediately .

We're still living during a super-size world during which fast-food is out there off every major highway exit within the USA, and gigantic cheeseburgers and fried food are popular culture favorites on food television.

Thus the necessity and demand for healthy food, weight-loss support, and nutritional awareness are rising to counter act the excessive eating culture.

Luckily, more choices are arising everywhere, and new ones per annum - but with all the new products, education and private guidance on the way to utilize and persist with these options are essential too, and thus is creating many demand for health coaches, chefs, spas, and wellness practitioners to assist guide people through these choices.

GROW YOUR WELLNESS BUSINESS

The worldwide wellness industry is rising, and is impervious to other factors like job rates, and global economy. In fact, the will for self empowered wellbeing seems to possess an opposite effect of growing stronger and faster, despite their being a slump within the global economy in recent years.

Wellness isn't a fad, our global modern era is simply raising more awareness about the impacts our lifestyle factors wear our health - from rest, exercise, nutrition, stress, and environmental influences.

Now more people than ever before have an interest and prepared to integrate these holistic health practices into their self-care routine, daily meals, work spaces, date nights, family life, and travel activities.

The opportunity is bigger than ever before for wellness entrepreneurs to innovate, integrate, and shine in new business ideas and customised healing arts experiential offerings.
