The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need to address the mental health dimension of the pandemic, in addition to the physical health aspects. The message of Yoga in promoting both the physical and mental well-being of humanity has never been more relevant. The UN draft resolution 69/131 establishing the International Day of Yoga was endorsed by a record 175 member states.

U of G Yoga and Meditation Collective’s brand-new website will also be launched during the IDY celebrations to Improve Life – mental and physical health, and well-being –  of all U of Guelph communities, campuses and beyond.

This event is brought to you by the U of G Yoga and Meditation Collective and sponsored by Wellness@Work, U of Guelph.
