Stress Free Zone
Share
The SFZ is a relaxing space dedicated to student self-care and stress reduction, located on the 3rd floor of the William Pitt Union.
The Stress Free Zone (SFZ) is a space where students at the University of Pittsburgh can learn and regularly practice evidence-based, mind/body stress reduction skills. We offer walk-in hours for students to take a purposeful break in between classes and focus on mindfulness based meditation. We also offer yoga classes, meditation classes, and other stress free events designed for college and graduate students. Everything in the SFZ is Free for all Pitt students.

Need a second to breathe + have a mindful break? 🫁🧠
Sometimes all it takes to cool down from a stressful situation is grabbing a book, 📖
or showing up for yourself on the mat. 🧘🏽♂️
Check out our SFZ yoga class schedule online, or skim our bookshelf next time you visit the space. 🤍
