Goop And Health Enthusiasts To Converge For Weekend Of Wellness

AUSTIN, TX — Goop League will host an Austin weekend fitness and wellness event next month, organizers said.

Goop League, known for hosting pop-up shops and events as purveyors of all things health and wellness, will stage its weekend fitness and wellness event on Saturday, Oct. 12, and Sunday, Oct. 13, at the Line Hotel. Guests will enjoy a weekend of movement, mind-body alignment, and community and will feature "impactful workouts, delicious and nutritious food and drinks, walk-up wellness treatments, and much more."

The local event is part of a national trend. In the last several years, the health and wellness industry has experienced explosive growth, now estimated to be a $4.2 trillion market. Wellness covers a wide breadth of activity marked by an active pursuit of choices, activities and lifestyles leading to a state of holistic health. Although wellness has seen a surge in popularity in modern days, the tenets of wellness can be traced to ancients civilizations and influence many of today's movements.

While it's easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of products and services available, it's important to recognize the concept of wellness encompasses much more than physical health. Most well-rounded wellness models address the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental needs.

In the age of social media, influencers have a significant impact on the ways in which we see and interpret wellness. One of the more recognized figures within the movement is Goop, founded by Gwyneth Paltrow in 2008, which caters to the indiscriminate health enthusiast and enjoys millions of followers worldwide.
