Let's get moving
Posted on 6 November 2022
With darker nights and colder weather, you might feel that your wellbeing needs a bit of a boost.
Physical activity doesn’t have to be a big deal - just moving more throughout the day on a regular basis can also be effective in lifting your mood, supporting your sleep, and helping you relax.
Give it a go
We offer some great opportunities at York:
- College sport: a fun and sociable environment where everyone is welcome to take part, regardless of ability or experience

And don't forget that the GSA offers free sport opportunities for postgraduates!
