After two successful iterations in recent years, the WCEU Community team once again organized a Wellness Track in Torino. 

Beginner-level yoga classes and guided walking tours of Torino will be available as part of the teams’ efforts to make WordCamp Europe less stressful. We also discussed these initiatives in our recent interview with WCEU Community Team Lead Liza Bogatyrev.
