World Mental Health Day with lululemon

This year we want to welcome lululemon ambassador Luke Li and Clarence from Orijin Yoga to guide us in movement. Starting the evening off with a run by Luke and closing off with a recovery yoga class by Clarence.

Luke Li is a lululemon ambassador and an active member of the local running community. With experience in various running races, he is also connected with the run group Control R, where he helps lead and organize community training sessions across Burnaby and Vancouver.

Clarence is a well-known Yoga and Pilates instructor in Vancouver and Burnaby. Known for his energetic and supportive teaching style, he creates classes that challenge both strength and flexibility while keeping the atmosphere positive and engaging.

The theme around WMHD this year is "Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies". Our ambassador Luke has created a route with three different options. 6.6km, 4.6km, and 3.1km, allowing all levels of runners + walkers welcome to join. The route will take a pause at ECHO (Education, Community, Health Options) with time to become further educated on mental health and the resources available to all.

Once the run is completed, we will join Clarence in the Metropolis Community Room for a stretch and meditation session.
