Yoga for Mental Health with Léa Perret
Saturday, June 20th, 2020, 9:30 - 10:30am

With all the suffering going on in the world right now, from the global pandemic to racial injustice, we are more than ever in need of some healing and peace. Recent studies have shown that depression and anxiety symptoms have increased tremendously during this time. Let’s practice yoga together to re-establish a sense of calm and ease, and remind ourselves that we are all connected. In this class we’ll explore the ways in which yoga can support your well-being through this challenging time. Your presence and participation will also be a wonderful way to give back and support mental health research; for every yogi who attends, $5 will go to the Douglas Foundation, an organization that endeavours to support mental health in the Montreal community since 1972.

The Douglas Foundation

The Douglas Foundation was created in 1972 at the Douglas Institute in Verdun. Back then, there was a lot of stigmatization associated with mental health problems. For over 45 years the Foundation’s mission has been to support the Institute’s development; from patient care to mental health research and educating professionals as well as the public in order to de-stigmatize mental illnesses.
