Saskatoon entrepreneur, Brandon Wicks, owner of Rise Strength Lab, spent two weeks in Royal University Hospital’s Adult Mental Health Short Stay Unit in 2021 and saw a need for a yoga class to bring patients movement, mindfulness, breathwork, and teach them skills to take with them into life.
Partnering with Jen Rondeau, owner of Ivy Yoga House, the two began to provide a regular weekly yoga class in the unit.
RUH Foundation has committed to raise additional funds to extend the program an additional two years and increase it to two classes per week.
Thank you to Brandon and Jen for stepping up and bringing this mindful program to patients in the Short Stay Unit at RUH to help empower patients on their road to recovery.
Please donate to support this incredible program.
