Coimbatore: City-based zumba instructor Shabhna Ramakrishnan was crowned Ms Wellness at an online national-level fitness and wellness competition that was conducted by Fitness and Sports Sciences Association (FSSA) recently. She competed against 42 other women, who were also fitness and wellness experts, from across the country.
After her victory, the fitness instructor said it was a wonderful platform to promote health and wellness among women, especially mental well-being in times like this.
The FSSA Ms Wellness India 2020 contest tested contestants in several dimensions of health, fitness, mental wellness and overall well-being. At the end of the three-day event, Shabha was crowned Ms Wellness in the prime category.
Shabhna says she hopes to inspire more women to focus more on their physical health and mental well-being. “I also hope to inspire more women in the fitness and wellness field by winning a national-level wellness competition where we, from tier II cities in south, are usually labelled as underdogs.”
