Happy August! We have so much to celebrate this month, and we're thrilled to share it with you. August is National Wellness Month, Happiness Happens Month, and Black Business Month—a perfect time to nurture our well-being, spread joy, and uplift Black businesses.
Celebrating National Wellness Month
Live Love Spa founded National Wellness Month in 2018 to be celebrated each year during August. This National Month is intended to foster community, connection, and commerce in the Wellness industry. The initiative inspires consumers to focus on wellness and provides a platform for wellness companies to highlight their services and benefits.
At Wellness Reset, we're passionate about supporting your wellness journey, so what better time to commit to your health than during National Wellness Month? We encourage you to take small steps every day that promote self-care, like trying a new yoga pose, drinking more water, or taking a few moments to practice mindfulness. Let’s use this month to refresh and renew our commitment to holistic health and well-being.

Step 3: Bend your right knee, keeping it aligned with your ankle, and sink your hips low.
Step 4: Raise your arms parallel to the floor, reaching actively through both hands and gaze over your right fingertips.
Step 5: Hold for 5-8 breaths, then switch sides.
Warrior II encourages a strong and steady foundation, helping to build both physical and mental resilience—perfect for embracing August's energy!
