Harvard researchers have found we spend 46.9% of waking hours with a wandering mind, and this makes us unhappy. Mindfulness is a proven technique for dealing with stress, anxiety, and frustration. Practicing stillness connects us with a deep reservoir of intuitive wisdom.

Those living in isolation of friends and family have 4-6 times the chance of dying prematurely. At Aro Hā spend time connecting with your body and your environment. Share your adventure within a small group and create genuine friendships.

Movement increases endorphins and reduces cognitive decline. It reduces the stress hormones; cortisol & adrenaline. Exercise makes us all feel good, and is even a proven remedy for depression & anxiety.
Aro Hā blends movement with nature, spirit, and playfulness. You’ll practice Yoga, Pilates, interval training, and climbing mountains.
700 new chemicals introduced into our environment each year. Approximately 80,000 chemicals in use world wide. The average western newborn baby has 287 known chemicals in their umbilical cord blood.
