First Partner Siebel Newsom celebrates the annual Move Your Body, Calm Your Mind Day in Sacramento
What you need to know: As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom joined community members in Sacramento to highlight California's efforts to expand access to physical activity and promote the links between movement, mindfulness, and mental well-being.
SACRAMENTO – First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and state officials joined students, athletes, coaches, mental health professionals, and community members at Street Soccer USA in Sacramento to celebrate the fourth annual Move Your Body, Calm Your Mind Day hosted in partnership with the Governor's Advisory Council on Physical Fitness and Mental Well-Being.
To close out Mental Health Awareness Month, the community celebration featured an afternoon of soccer, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness activities inspired by statewide initiatives: Move Your Body, Calm Your Mind and California Strong, California Love. Similar celebrations took place across the state today with nine events spanning from Grass Valley to the Bay Area to Los Angeles.
Movement and mindfulness are powerful tools for supporting mental well-being, especially for young people navigating the pressures of life in today's digital era. Move Your Body, Calm Your Mind Day is a reminder that caring for our mental and physical health can start with simple daily practices – from getting outside, staying active, connecting with one another, and taking moments to reset. By encouraging healthy habits early, we can help build stronger, more resilient communities across California.

"Research continues to show that regular movement and mindfulness practices can improve mental health, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional well-being," said Kim Johnson, Secretary, California Health and Human Services Agency. "These initiatives encourage Californians of all ages to explore the connection between physical activity, mindfulness, and overall health."
The event underscored the power of movement and mindfulness to support strong mental wellbeing, while providing opportunities for the Sacramento community to build connections. Attendees participated in soccer games led by Street Soccer USA, yoga and mindfulness sessions with Afro Yoga, and a panel discussion hosted by the Positive Coaching Alliance focused on creating supportive youth sports environments. Attendees also engaged in service opportunities by creating wellness kits with mindfulness tools, mental health resources, and supportive reminders that they are not alone.
