This January, celebrate a life of balance with YMCA Calgary

We are kicking off 2023 with Get a Balanced Life Month! We know that life can become overwhelming, especially coming out of the holidays. The YMCA Calgary is committed to providing affordable and accessible opportunities so everyone can live a balanced life. Sign up for a 1-week free trial and get started today!

Mind Body Wellness Day

January 3rd is International Mind-Body Wellness Day. Mind, body and spirit have always been our foundation. Self reflection and mindfulness allow us to check in with our emotions, which can have positive effects on our physical wellbeing. Self reflection can be done in many ways, whether it is by journalling your thoughts or 30 minutes of meditation every week.

We offer several yoga classes which can help you connect with your mind and body. Check out the yoga programs available here: Schedules | YMCA Calgary

Community Connection

Connecting with your community can positively impact your physical and mental wellness. With fitness classes ranging from Zumba and Shallow/Deep water fitness, to HIIT via drumming, there are so many ways to move your body while engaging in a social setting! Our wide variety of drop-in fitness classes come free with a YMCA Calgary membership. Learn more about our Health & Fitness opportunities here: https://www.ymcacalgary.org/health-fitness 

Mental Wellness

We believe in supporting the journey to wellness in all capacities. The Y Mind Mental Wellness program is a free 7-week program that helps individuals manage and cope with stress and anxiety. Two groups, Youth (13-17) and young adults (18-30) work alongside like-minded individuals to build tools that can be used during times of overwhelming situations and stress.
