Sunday, 23rd July International Positive Psychology Association 8th IPPA World Congress 2023

Join lululemon ambassador Geoff Scoates for an easy run to start the day.  The runs will consist of an easy out and back route heading towards Stanley Park that caters to all levels, and will leave you feeling energized for the day ahead.   

Start you day with gentle mindful yoga, led by Maya Rajah. Take time to enjoy, energize, and connect (with yourself and others). In addition, you can prepare yourself for the deep learning and connecting of the day.
