Downward dog and warrior poses, Zumba-style moves, and football-inspired maneuvers will once again take over the field at Michigan Stadium.

“Be Well in the Big House,” a free event organized by MHealthy, returns from 3-6:30 p.m. Sept. 21. U-M faculty and staff can join in health and wellness activities both on and off the field of the Big House.

Virtual well-being sessions also will take place Sept. 18-20. 

Register early for on-field sessions

Three, 45-minute sessions will take place on the stadium field. All fitness levels and abilities are welcome, and no equipment is required. Early registration is recommended as space is limited.

Register for up to two sessions:

• 3:30 p.m. — Football Skills and Thrills
• 4:30 p.m. — Zumba
• 5:30 p.m. — Yoga

Plenty is happening off the field as well. Registration is not required to take part in activities in and around the concourse, which include:  

• Farmers market.
• Health and well-being experts.
• 15-minute cardio drumming sessions.
• 15-minute “Heartfulness Guided Meditation” sessions.
• 15-minute “Healthy Back and Mobility” sessions.
• Maize and Blue Cupboard donation drop-off, and more.
