Well-Being Center Features

Located on the first floor, FlavUR, the new café in the Well-Being Center, features a fresh, healthy, affordable menu of signature bowls, wraps, smoothies, and breakfast items available all day. Guests can enjoy scratch-made meals using halal proteins and customizable options.

Outside the Well-Being Center entrance, the patio is a great place to enjoy some time socializing or self-care at a table or around the fire pit! Stop by to study, socialize, or take a break and enjoy the campus view from the Millheiser Green.

Located on the first floor, the demonstration kitchen is committed to promoting lifelong culinary and nutrition skills through cooking demonstrations and classes. These programs encourage and promote healthy eating with fresh, minimally processed ingredients while also building community among students, staff, and faculty.

Participants are empowered to make balanced food choices, understand good nutrition practices, and learn cooking techniques. Demonstrations are taught by the UR registered dietitians, UR chefs and guest chefs from the Richmond area. Learn about programs by checking out the calendar located near the demonstration kitchen, and keep an eye out for free samples throughout the semester.

Located on the first floor behind the welcome desk, the Meditation Garden provides an area focused on mindfulness and relaxation. Walk along the river rocks or take a break in the meditation booths from the stress of school.

Located near the hallway entrance to the Weinstein Center for Recreation, these chairs will provide relaxation and will provide well-being benefits to the body. This room also contains meditation chairs and access to the Salt Therapy Room. The massage chairs and nap pods are available on first-come-first-serve basis.

Take a break and spend some time relaxing in our new Salt therapy Room located on the first floor of the Well-Being Center. Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, is a natural therapy that involves inhaling salt-infused air in a controlled environment, typically a salt room or salt cave. The therapy can help alleviate respiratory and skin conditions by reducing inflammation, improving mucus clearance, providing antimicrobial effects, as well as relieving stress. It’s often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like asthma, allergies, bronchitis, and eczema. In the salt room, you are invited to rest on comfortable chairs surrounded by the calming glow of pure Himalayan salt crystals, while breathing in the dry salt aerosol. For more information and reservations, visit the front desk in the Well-Being Center.

Located on the second floor of the Well-Being Center, the Mind-Body Studio is designed to host our Yoga and Meditation related fitness classes available at the Weinstein Center for Recreation. This large, ambient open space can also be used to relax, study, or practice meditation outside of scheduled programs.

Located outside the Mind-Body Studio on the second floor, this labyrinth is a walking meditation maze with one path and no dead ends. Walking in a labyrinth can help you relax and feel at peace, open the flow of creativity, and cope with grief and loss. While walking in the labyrinth, quiet your mind and be aware of your breath. Allow yourself to find the pace your body wants to go, and allow others to pass you or know that you may pass others.
