Coronary vascular surgeon’s
eureka moment (on wellness)• After performing thousands of CABG, a few
of them have converted to staunch proponents of “coronary health and wellness movement”• An example: • “I admit to being wrong. As a heart surgeon
with 25 years experience, who has done over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong …” • - Dr. Dwight Lundell , PreventDisease, 01 Mar 2012

Yoga is Wellness
• Body, mind and spirit are like a tripod • Even if one aspect isn’t
functioning properly it will lead to illness – not necessarily a disease • Yoga creates harmony among
the three components (body, mind and spirit) • This harmony, in turn supports
Wellness
