The team at Sport Lancaster is dedicated to providing an environment on campus where everybody feels confident to enjoy physical activity. Here are some free ways for the Lancaster University community to get moving during the summer term:

Weekly Wellbeing Walks

Every Monday, 12.15pm - 12.45pm, Meeting point: University House

Slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the beautiful outdoors. The Woodland Walk surrounding the campus provides the University community an opportunity to disconnect from any stresses and reconnect with the environment.

Guided 30-minute walks take place every Monday, led by Sam Cadwallader, Engagement and Wellbeing Manager at Sport Lancaster, and all abilities are welcome.

The walks commence from University House Reception at 12.15pm.

Stretch & Mobility

Every Thursday, 12.15pm - 12.45pm, Studio 2 at Sport Lancaster

Stretching and mobility contribute to maintaining a healthy and functional body and improve flexibility. Incorporating stretching into a daily routine can alleviate muscle tension, reduce the risk of injuries, enhance physical performance, and promote better posture.

30-minute Stretch and Mobility sessions will take place in Sport Lancaster's Studio 2 every Thursday, from 12.15pm. Mats are available to borrow.

Mindfulness Sessions

Every Thursday, 1.15pm - 1.45pm, Chaplaincy Centre Quiet Room

Mindfulness Sessions in the Chaplaincy Centre's Quiet Room offer students and staff a peaceful space to practice mindfulness and meditation, encouraging participants to be present in the moment, manage anxiety, improve concentration, or simply find a quiet moment in a busy schedule. Held every Thursday during term-time, the sessions are open to the University community, regardless of experience level.

There is no need to book, meet us in the Chaplaincy Centre's Quiet Room at 1.15pm. We will be sitting on chairs, but please bring mats or cushions if you wish to use them.
