HUGE MOMENT!

From our studio to the Sunrise screen!
We had the absolute joy of sharing what we love most… movement that feels good, music that lifts you up, and community that keeps you coming back.

A huge moment for us being featured on @channel7 @sunriseon7 spreading our ethos of finding joy in movement and making exercise something to look forward to.

What a day. Is this real life?!

Thank you to @jo_my_god for the set ready make up!

reading the literature has genuinely changed how I think about getting older

mind——body. for everyone who said placebos only work when you don’t know they’re a placebo, the last slide is for you.

I still can’t get over placebo surgeries. It is so wiiiild.

In 2002, researchers ran a trial with 180 people with knee osteoarthritis. Some had arthroscopic surgery. Others had a “fake” placebo surgery: small skin incisions, nothing done inside the knee. No one knew which group they were in.

Two years later, both groups reported similar improvements in pain and function.

This doesn’t mean the pain was “in their heads.” It shows how powerfully expectation, belief and the brain shape what we feel in our bodies. Your mind isn’t separate from your recovery — it is a crucial part of it.

Important: This study looked at one specific procedure, arthroscopic washout and debridement for osteoarthritis. It is not about knee replacements or surgery in general, which can be life-changing and medically necessary. This post is for education only and isn’t psychological therapy or medical advice. Please speak with your doctor or specialist before making any decisions about your treatment.

HOUSE SESSIONS / RECEIVE

Our next HOUSE SESSIONS is here. Introducing RECEIVE.

HOUSE OF SCULPT × Alchemy by Charlotte

We spend so much of our lives doing. Moving, thinking, planning, producing, giving. Even the things we do to take care of ourselves can become another thing to achieve.
RECEIVE is an invitation to experience the other side of effort.
We’ll begin in the body with a HOUSE OF SCULPT Mat Pilates class — building heat, strength and connection through intentional movement and breath.

From there, we’ll begin to soften.

Led by Charlotte of Alchemy by Charlotte, we’ll move from movement into stillness with an immersive sound healing experience.
Beginning with a guided meditation, supported by crystal energy, you’ll be invited to turn your attention inward before surrendering to the vibrations and frequencies of crystal singing bowls. Infused with Reiki energy, the experience is designed to encourage deep relaxation, quieten the mind and allow the nervous system to settle.

With nothing to achieve and nowhere else to be, you’ll be guided away from doing and into simply being — creating space for rest, reconnection and receiving.

Seagull Room, Bondi Pavilion. 07/11 – 9am.
