Health is more than sport. It is energy, balance and quality of life.
On 22 June 2024 the first National Healthy Lifestyle and Fitness Festival took place in the Milliy Bog park in Tashkent — a large event bringing together movement, knowledge, beauty, care for mental wellbeing and the culture of an active life.
The festival was a place where everyone could find something for themselves: try new forms of physical activity, learn about modern approaches to healthy eating, pick up relaxation and recovery techniques, gain useful knowledge from experts and discover new ways of looking after themselves.
The programme included master classes from the country’s leading sports and fitness clubs, yoga and pilates, fitness and dance sessions, talks on healthy nutrition, motivation and sports equipment, aromatherapy and herbal medicine practices, breathing exercises and meditation. A mass dance flashmob, zumba and an entertainment programme for children were among the highlights.
The festival brought together people of different ages and interests around one idea: a healthy lifestyle should not be confined to the gym or to strict rules. It is built from everyday habits, movement, balanced nutrition, emotional balance and attention to one’s own wellbeing.
The first National Healthy Lifestyle and Fitness Festival was a step towards a culture of health in Uzbekistan in which caring for oneself becomes a natural part of everyday life.
General partners: the Tashkent City Administration; the Agency for Strategic Development under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan; the BEFIT club network.
