More than 30 people took part in a first-ever yoga session held among the cherry blossom trees at the base of Schmon Tower at lunchtime on Monday, May 6. Japan gave the trees to Brock in 2003 as a gesture of friendship between that country and Canada. When they briefly blossom each year, they’re Brock’s most-photographed natural element on campus.

Monday’s yoga session was a collaboration between Brock Recreation and the University’s Health Management and Wellness team, which has a full schedule of free lunchtime activities planned this week for Mental Health Week.

Members of the Brock community are encouraged to continue participating in classes on campus over the summer months. This is made easy with the new Fitness Class Membership that includes yoga, Zumba and more from now until the end of August. To register for the fitness class membership or to upgrade a current membership, visit the Walker Sports Complex Welcome Desk.
