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 Tinana (physical health) includes doing exercise and eating healthy food .

Taha Wairua (spiritual health) includes as believing in god and praying to him .



Taha Hinengaro (emotional health) includes as being shy to talk to people


Taha Whanau (social health) include as believing in god .
