Wellness@Work is running a pilot program with Up and Running Guelph that we will be calling “Walks for Well-being” that will launch in October, during Healthy Workplace Month and run for 6 weeks. 

This Fall, join in a weekly yoga practice with the U of G Yoga and Meditation Collective. 

U of G Yoga and Meditation Collective's new FALL semester Yoga Practice continues with New Programming and the addition of the NEW Yin Yoga class on Monday at 8 PM and an In-Person Classical Yoga class on Thursday at Noon. Let’s clear our minds with the breath, strengthen our bodies with movement, and ease into some beautiful Fall semester yoga poses.   

With 1 in 5 students at U of G experiencing food insecurity, you can do your part to help end student food insecurity by visiting Wellness@Work on October 31st in the UC Courtyard between 10:30am and 3:30pm to donate a non-perishable item. All donations will go to the Guelph Student Food Bank to support our U of G students. 

The Wellness@Work Programming Committee is challenging you to a new Gratitude BINGO game for Healthy Workplace Month.
