Come out and support a great cause by practicing yoga! Connect your mind, body and soul and improve your overall well-being while also making a difference in the lives of others.

In light of NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK

Classes are donations-based with 100% of donations going directly to supporting youth and women’s mental health care programs.

- WOMEN MENTAL HEALTH at The Royal Ottawa focuses on understanding and improving how women experience treatments for mental illness and integrating the female perspective into clinical care throughout The Royal and the region. The program also focuses on providing education to promote early detection of mental illness, guidance in seeking care, accessible resources, coping skills, and educating caregivers, the community and women everywhere about the unique ways in which mental illness affects women and their families.

- ADOLESCENCE is a time of dramatic change. The journey from child to adult can be complex and challenging with YOUTH often feeling tremendous pressure to succeed at school, at home and in social groups. Young people typically lack experience and knowledge of mental illness and often feel that their peers and even adults cannot possibly understand what they are going through. This is why it is so important to spread awareness about mental health, talk about the signs and symptoms and having open discussions so that youth can get the support they need and treatment early.
