Manchester Young Lawyers Health & Wellbeing Events
Manchester Young Lawyers (MYL) are always looking for ways to create opportunities for their members to connect, develop and enjoy being part of the wider legal community. Whilst their calendar includes a range of networking, social and educational events, they also recognise the importance of making space for activities that support wellbeing alongside professional development.
Working in the legal profession can often be fast-paced, with long days and competing priorities making it easy for exercise, rest and time away from work to take a back seat. MYL wanted to create an event that encourages members to step away from their usual routines, try something different and enjoy a chance to reset in a relaxed environment. Pilates is a great way to do this. It combines movement, strength, flexibility and mindfulness, making it an activity that can be enjoyed by everyone, whether you already practise regularly or are completely new to it.
As part of their Health & Wellbeing calendar, MYL have organised a Pilates morning at RESET Manchester, sponsored by CapeClarke. The event is aimed at giving members the opportunity to take some time away from the demands of busy working lives and focus on something that benefits both physical and mental wellbeing. The session will provide an opportunity for our members to take part in an instructor-led mat Pilates class, before coming together afterwards for coffee and breakfast.
A key part of Manchester Young Lawyers is creating spaces where people can build genuine connections. While traditional networking events are a great way to meet new people, they also believe that some of the strongest relationships are built through shared experiences and spending time together outside of the usual work environment. Events like this offer a different way for members to connect, get to know each other and become more involved in the MYL community.
The Pilates session is just one part of their wider Health & Wellbeing programme, and they’re looking forward to continuing to introduce initiatives that support their members in different ways throughout the year. Alongside their professional and social events, MYL hope to create a range of events that reflect the diverse interests of our members and provides opportunities for everyone to get involved. They’re about to re-start our Run Club series, off the back of our very popular winter series sponsored by MJN Legal Recruitment. MYL are now bringing this back for summer, making the most of out of the lovely weather and light nights. Their Health and Well-Being directors, Beka, Matt and Kate have lots of exciting events in the pipeline including 5-a-side football, Padel and wellbeing sessions focused on de-compressing and de-stressing, something which is so important when working in this industry.
MYL are excited to welcome members to the session and continue building a supportive, connected and engaged community for young lawyers across Manchester.
