Thank you to all who have attended the Summer Employee Wellness Yoga classes. For the Fall, we are excited to continue to offer lunchtime yoga four days a week. Please know you can join at any level of experience, including none. These sessions are open to all and a great opportunity to meet employees from other units, while also taking a break to stretch and have a midday reset.  

  • Mondays and Thursdays (12:05 - 12:55pm, Ives 80): Meditative Yoga with Jeanne Janae 
  • Tuesdays and Wednesdays (12:05 - 12:55pm, Ives 80): Yoga Flow with Kim Purdy

Kaiser Permanente will be on campus October 11, 2022 to provide a free flu shot clinic for Staff and Faculty. This will be open to all employees and will not be limited to Kaiser Permanente members. More information will be sent in late September.

We have received many questions regarding the employee use of the Campus Recreation Center.  While Campus Rec is not affiliated with the employee wellness program, we want to support our campus community and share employee membership opportunities. Following are some offerings from Campus Recreation and to learn more please contact them at 707 664-3486
 
Each faculty and staff is eligible to receive a one-time seven day free trial for the Rec Center. This will allow you to explore the facility and programs at any time during the year. If interested, please sign up at the front desk of the Rec Center.  

Campus Rec is thrilled to announce their new RecPortal! The RecPortal allows you to sign your waiver, discover new programs, register for all of their events, sign-up and purchase a membership and much more! Please sign in to your RecPortal with your SSU credentials to see a variety of membership options for all SSU faculty and staff. Please sign your waiver online through your Rec Portal so when you come by our facilities you are able to swipe in with your Seawolf ID card without any hassle.
 
To get to the RecPortal, go to the Campus Recreation website and click on the RecPortal button. Once you click sign-in  (make sure you click on the blue bar that says click here to sign in!!) This will allow you to enter  your SSU credentials.
 
The Pool: As a reminder, employee use of the pool is not administered through the Wellness Program. Campus Rec anticipates open-swim to be back in the Spring Semester. You will be able to purchase a membership for the use of the pool once they finalize this information.

Please contact the Rec Center at (707)664-4386 with any questions! They are more than happy to assist you. 

The Employee Wellness Program wishes you all a safe and healthy start to the academic year!  Please reach out to us with any questions regarding our employee wellness opportunities.  We can be reached at employeewellness@sonoma.edu.
