As World Mental Health Day approaches, let's make a conscious effort to nurture both our minds and bodies

In today's fast-paced world, prioritising mental wellbeing is more important than ever. If you're feeling burnt out or stressed, it's essential to focus on self care - that means finding activities that help you relax and reconnect with your physical and mental energy. lululemon is leading the charge with its "Together We Grow" initiative, a community event designed to promote holistic wellness in honour of World Mental Health day. 

The main event of the initiative is a gathering on 5 October at Jumeirah Beach Hotel Dubai, where 2,000 participants will come together to engage in fun activities and meaningful discussions around mental health. Encouraging participants to understand the connection between physical movement and mental wellbeing, the event will involve multiple activities including yoga, recovery ice baths, fitness challenges and purposeful workshops. Scheduled to begin at 8AM with a HIIT session, followed by yoga and a World Mental Health Day Panel, there's much to look forward to come Saturday.

While a significant portion of UAE residents recognise the value of mental health, many feel stigmatised by society's expectations. This initiative will focus on several aspects of wellness and offer one the opportunity to better understand the need to stay on top of their overall health. 

The community event will take place at Jumeirah Beach Hotel Dubai at 8 AM on 5 October. Register here
