September at MindWell

August 29, 2025

Our mood is shaped by many factors, some obvious, others more surprising. One you might not expect? Posture.

How you sit and carry yourself can directly affect your energy, confidence, and emotional state.

That’s why, after a successful debut, Posture & Pilates is back in September as a weekly class, this time exploring how posture impacts mood and mental clarity. You’ll also find new sessions focused on sleep, gratitude, and emotional awareness, all essential for cultivating a stable, balanced mood, and strengthening your emotional health.

What’s on Offer?

Deeper Sleep: EFT Tapping for Rest and Recovery

Struggling with sleep or simply looking for deeper rest? This session uses EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to help quiet the mind, release physical tension, and restore your body’s natural ability to relax.

Through gentle tapping on acupressure points, you’ll clear the stress, frustration, and mental noise that often disrupt sleep, while inviting in calm, safety, and ease.

No experience necessary. Just come as you are and give your nervous system the rest it deserves.

How Posture Impacts Mood

The way we hold ourselves physically can have a direct influence not only on our feelings, but on our thoughts and behaviours too. Changing our posture is a biohack we can use to change our mindset and boost our mood.

Julie Anderton will guide you through simple yet effective Pilates movement patterns that will stretch and strengthen muscles to help bring your posture into its ideal alignment, enhancing both physical and emotional well-being. A routine you can practice at your desk and anywhere.
