Relax and recharge in the Kelley Balance Room

Take advantage of the tech-free space. Charging stations in the Balance Room allow you to lock up and charge your devices while you relax.

Unwind where it’s calm. The Balance Room is not a space for group meetings, cell phone conversations, or loud music.

Refresh with water only. Food and drinks other than water are prohibited in the Balance Room.

Create space for everyone. Weighted blankets and art supplies are available for you to use. Be mindful of the shared space, don’t leave trash behind, and return items to the shelf when you leave.

Give yourself a break from doing. While the Balance Room is a tech-free space, you may use the HeadSpace app to discover mindfulness tools, including meditations, sleepcasts, mindful movement, and focus exercises. All Kelley undergraduate students have free access to HeadSpace. Email ksbwell@iu.edu for help logging in.

Guide yourself to meet your needs. A quick 15-minute nap in the Balance Room can renew attention span and refresh the body, but it will not replace a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep at night enhances academic performance, helps reduce stress and supports good physical and mental health. Long naps may disrupt a good sleep later on.

Explore the mindfulness resources, such as coloring mandalas, sketch books, and art supplies. Art-based wellness experiences can offer stress relief and a creative outlet for self expression. Learn more about free wellness and art therapy events.
