Wellness rooms
Table of Contents
We understand that work can sometimes be demanding and overwhelming. Many UW buildings have dedicated wellness rooms to provide you with a much-needed respite during your busy workday.
Find one the next time you need a short break and want to stay inside to:
Regain focus and clarity: Whether you need a quiet space to brainstorm ideas, work on important projects, or simply gather your thoughts, Wellness Rooms offer the perfect environment to enhance your productivity.
Recharge and revitalize: Feeling drained or fatigued? From taking a power nap to using the room as a mini spiritual retreat for prayer or meditation, find a moment of calm to restore your vitality, allowing you to return to work with renewed enthusiasm.
Promote mental well-being: The Wellness Rooms offer a tranquil sanctuary where you can practice mindfulness, engage in relaxation techniques, or simply enjoy a moment of peace. Nurture your mental well-being and reduce stress, amidst the demands of your workday.
Stretch it out: Combat sitting at your desk or computer neck by using the Wellness Rooms as a personal retreat for self-care. A light stretching can alleviate tension and promote overall wellness during your workday.
