Imagine starting your day with the sun gently caressing your face, surrounded by the iconic Michigan Stadium, as you partake in a serene yoga session designed for all levels. This is “Yoga at the Big House,” a special event led by Kacee Must of Citizen Yoga, not just for the love of yoga but for an incredibly vital cause: mental health awareness and suicide prevention. This gathering is more than just a yoga session; it’s a community coming together to open up conversations around mental health, offering support, and promoting wellness among individuals.

Set to unfold on Saturday, August 3, within the hallowed grounds of Michigan Stadium, the event schedule promises a morning filled with connection, reflection, and movement. Doors will swing open at 9:00 AM, welcoming you to a Mental Health + Community Fair that precedes the yoga class, providing a platform to learn more about mental health resources and connect with the community. The all-level yoga class will kick off at 10:00 AM, allowing everyone, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, to find their flow on the field. The event wraps up at 11:30 AM, giving you a few last moments to soak in the ambiance of the “Big House.”

Participation in this unique event comes at a minor cost of $24, with the added policy that all tickets are non-refundable. However, if you find yourself unable to attend, there‘s the considerate option to transfer your ticket to another individual. Additionally, the event provides a heartfelt opportunity to dedicate your yoga practice to loved ones affected by suicide, whether they are survivors or dearly missed, by submitting their names. It’s a touching way to remember and honor their struggles and resilience, making your participation even more meaningful.

Proceeds from “Yoga at the Big House” will benefit some fantastic local organizations like Birth Detroit, Brilliant Detroit, and The Fourth Tri Foundation Fund, all of which are working diligently to improve mental health in the community. This effort is supported by proud sponsors such as ITC Holdings, CSM Mechanical, and AIR Aerial Fitness, among others. The event also opens the door for mental health providers and non-profit organizations to showcase their services by hosting a booth during the fair. Sponsors and service providers become part of a larger narrative that champions mental wellness and suicide prevention, making this yoga event a beacon of hope and support within the community.

In conclusion, “Yoga at the Big House” is more than just another yoga class; it’s a powerful statement in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention. It is an invitation to the local and larger community to come together, practice mindfulness, extend support, and contribute to a great cause. Whether you’re joining to enhance your well-being, honor a loved name, or simply enjoy yoga in an iconic setting, your participation is a meaningful step toward making a difference. See you on the field for a day of yoga, unity, and charity.
