Your wellbeing matters
A new programme for students and staff from September 2026.
Pilot programme · September–December 2026A practical, positive programme to help us move more, manage stress, build healthy habits and feel more connected.
Life at LAAT can be busy. Students may be balancing study with work, family and financial pressures, while staff are supporting learners and managing demanding workloads. The new LAAT Wellbeing Programme is designed to make everyday wellbeing more visible, accessible and enjoyable across our community.
From September, we will begin a 12-week pilot that brings together movement, relaxation, useful wellbeing ideas and opportunities to connect. The programme is for everyone — you do not need any dance, yoga or fitness experience to take part.
Three strands, running across the twelve-week pilot.
A welcoming introduction at Tower Hill will combine an inspirational wellbeing talk with short dance, movement and yoga tasters. You will also pick up practical tools for healthy living and stress management. Timing and access details will be confirmed by LAAT.
Thirty-minute sessions will be offered during lunch breaks, with activities expected to include Zumba, yoga, cardio exercises, mindfulness and short wellbeing talks. Different days and formats will be tested so LAAT can learn what works best.
Short articles, posts and practical prompts will keep useful wellbeing themes in view between sessions — from movement and breathing to relaxation, resilience and healthy routines.
No pressure, no competition, no experience needed.
Friendly, beginner-level activities led by professional instructors and adaptable for different fitness levels.
A mix of movement, breathing, relaxation, mindfulness and practical wellbeing strategies.
Student and staff sessions arranged separately where possible, with occasional opportunities to come together as a community.
A chance to try something new without pressure, competition or judgement.
A chance to join in person or online, or view recorded sessions when time permits, giving you full flexibility.
Four good reasons to give it a try.
Step away from the desk or screen and return with renewed energy.
Enjoy music, stretching and low-pressure activity.
Learn simple techniques for handling stress and supporting your own wellbeing.
Meet people across LAAT, and use your feedback to help develop the longer-term wellbeing programme.
Everyone at LAAT is welcome to take part.
Use the programme to move, reset, meet others and discover strategies that can help with a healthier lifestyle — combining study, work and life beyond LAAT. Student wellbeing representatives may also be selected during the pilot.
Use the sessions to recharge, connect with colleagues and try practical approaches to personal wellbeing. Early staff feedback will help refine the timetable and content.
Timetables and joining details are on the way.
Look out for the full timetable, locations and joining information through the usual LAAT communication channels.
Questions can be directed to your teachers, campus team or the Wellbeing Officer.
Take part at a level that feels comfortable, and tell the instructor about any relevant health, mobility or accessibility needs.
The programme supports everyday wellbeing but does not replace medical, counselling, safeguarding or emergency support. If you are worried about yourself or someone else, contact the appropriate LAAT support or safeguarding team.
