It’s time to practice that downward dog because lululemon is set to host its largest community event, ‘Together We Grow’, to kick off World Mental Health Day.
A series of wellness events will take place on Saturday October 5 in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. It will be an all-day celebration of fitness, culture and community, jam-packed with a programme of free activities and pop-ups.
The one-day event will feature various activities to promote mental and physical health, including energising workouts, calming yoga sessions, refreshments, and connection zones. Participants are encouraged to move, connect, and engage in meaningful discussions about well-being.
The sessions are open to men and women of all fitness levels and will be led by lululemon ambassadors and certified fitness instructors. Whether you have 30 minutes to spare or a free afternoon to enjoy, these free wellness events are offering experiences to nurture the body, mind and soul.
World Mental Health Day is an annual event promoted globally by the World Health Organisation on October 10. To further raise awareness of mental health and address associated stigma, The ‘Together We Grow’ campaign by lululemon strives to promote movement and improve wellness in local communities.
