RADIATE: Wellbeing

Pilates at Your Desk | Monthly sessions

Do you want to move more and learn simple but effective seated and standing exercises you can do wherever you are?

Sitting at a desk tapping away on a keyboard, or standing for several hours a day can take its toll on our bodies. The resulting pains can impact staff attendance levels, morale and productivity.

We are delighted to welcome back Kerrie-Anne Bradley for a 12-month series of online workshops, each focusing on a different area of the body. Feedback from members who attend these sessions is always fantastic, so we hope you’re able to join us and make an ongoing commitment to your wellbeing.

Come and improve your posture, mobility and strength and have some fun!

Your Authentic Self

Virtual event

Living authentically means that what you think, say and do, aligns with your true thoughts, words and actions. Being true to yourself has a profound impact on your wellbeing as it increases self-worth and confidence.

We are delighted to welcome back Monique Carayol, an experienced leadership coach, consultant and ex-NHS director, to deliver this workshop.

You will explore your strengths, reflect on your core values and develop confidence to make and influence change. Start your new year on a positive note!
