AOPYO's Four Pillars
Wellness
Our physical body is precious and we must care for it. Overall wellness is about recognizing that your body needs much more than just exercise. It needs a balance between the right food, mental training/relaxation, and exercise to maintain healthy. Wellness is what allows deep emotional stability.
Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility is your responsibility to the world and communicates collective success.Social responsibility is a duty every individual should perform to maintain a balance between the economy and the ecosystems.
