Launching this September, WellU Wind Downs is a new series from the Student Health and Wellness Health Promotion team. These low-key, drop-in events will be running throughout the year. Each one is a chance to slow down, meet other students, and take part in some kind of activity to help you unwind and connect.
Take a break from the excitement of a new school year with a calming yoga session focused on unwinding, followed by a build-your-own sleep tea bar. You'll leave with practical ideas from Student Health and Wellness to support a better night's sleep.
No experience necessary, bring you own mat if possible.
