Meaningful Connection Matters
This Challenge is all about connection. Why? Because research tells us that social connection is a cornerstone of well-being.
A UK Biobank study found that people with strong social connections are 50% more likely to live longer, and have a 32% lower risk of dying from heart disease.
Social connection is essential for well-being—physically, mentally, and emotionally. For you and our Grass Roots community, fostering connection isn’t just meaningful, it's a scientifically validated path to better health.
Better Together: Sign up to the challenge with a friend and you’ll both receive either a Grass Roots tank or coffee tumbler - email Sal to redeem: sally@grassrootsyoga.com
