For one day in September, yoga poses, Zumba-style moves and the beat of cardio drumming will take over Michigan Stadium.

“Be Well in the Big House,” a free event organized by MHealthy, returns from 3-6:30 p.m. Sept. 19. U-M faculty and staff can join in health and well-being activities both on and off the Michigan Stadium field.

MORE INFORMATION

Four, 30-minute sessions will take place on the field. All fitness levels and abilities are welcome, and no equipment is required. Early registration is recommended as space is limited. To accommodate more participants, registration is limited to one session per person.

Sessions are:

  • 3:15 p.m. – Football Skills and Thrills
  • 4 p.m. – Yoga
  • 4:45 p.m. – Yoga

  • Exercises to Improve Balance – Strengthen the brain/body connection to build better balance.

There also will be a farmers’ market, interactive health and well-being booths, and a Maize and Blue Cupboard donation drop-off, where people can bring non-perishable food items to donate in support of Hunger Action Month.
