What is Te Whare Tapa wha/Hauora.

What is Te Whare Tapa Wha/Hauora?

Hauora is thinking about the 4 dimensions (parts) of Maori health. It is represented by a 4 sided house (called a Wharenui). The 4 sides are Taha Whanau (social), Taha Tinana (physical), Taha Wairua (spiritual) and Taha Hinengaro (emotional). All 4 parts are important and need to be equal - if one is not healthy, the others are affected.

Taha Tinina (physical health) includes
