Relaxation Room (Westchester Campus)

Relaxation is an important part of taking good care of yourself. Few of us have much experience with real relaxation, which is a focused, intentional period of time when one is mindful and alert, and yet one’s muscles and mind are relaxed. It’s not as easy as it might sound! But when you get good at it, it can restore energy and boost mood and performance.

We invite you to use our Relaxation Room, located in Elm Hall lobby area, which is designed to help students explore various resources for improving their emotional health. In the Relaxation Room, sit in our large recliner massage chair in a room with soft lighting. Use our SAD Lamp to help ease seasonal mood swings and winter depression, and help improve sleeping patterns. Listen to soothing music and take a break from an overwhelming day. Use our biofeedback machine, emWave2© to train yourself to reduce your stress. Calm your mind while creating beautiful images on the Buddha Board.
