Join us for a 1-hour yoga session led by Dr. Debby Patz and other guest instructors, held virtually until Aug 12, 2020. This free yoga session is part of #WellnessWednesday, a partnership between the Wellness Center and Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA) at UCCS.

GOCA and the Wellness Center have teamed up to promote wellness and self-care across the UCCS community by offering free meditation and yoga sessions. While they can't currently take place in the current exhibition in the Marie Walsh Sharpe Gallery, you can join us virtually every Wednesday as Dr. Patz leads us from her Facebook page. These free programs take place every Wednesday (with closures for holidays)

ABOUT WELLNESS PROMOTION

Wellness Promotion is the public health and outreach division of the Recreation and Wellness Center. The program aims to foster a healthy environment to increase students’ success and well-being. All UCCS students have the right to make informed decisions about their health while at school and beyond, and the Recreation and Wellness Center supports students in helping develop the skills to do so through outreach programs, discussions, and events. In addition, the Center's educational focus promotes understanding of the factors that improve health both for individuals and communities, and supports those making health behavior changes. Learn more here.
