Suivness Embodied Health

30/07/2026

Ireland has lost one of its finest. I can't quite believe it.

I've always admired Glen Hansard, not only for the music he gave the world, but for the way he seemed to move through it. There was a quiet humility, generosity and authenticity in the way he lived. He used whatever influence he had to make life a little better for others, and never forgot where he came from.

Thank you for the incredible music, the kindness, and the reminder that how we live matters just as much as what we achieve.

Go raibh suaimhneas síoraí air. May he have eternal peace.

🌿 Embodied Regulation classes start back this week. 🌿

Our Monday classes start again tonight, and I'm delighted they're full. I still have a small number of places available in the Wednesday 6:00 pm class in Padbury, so if you've been thinking about joining us, this is a great time to get started.

In a world that constantly encourages us to do more, achieve more, and keep pushing, these classes offer an opportunity to practise something different... to slow down, tune in, and care for your nervous system.

Each week we combine gentle yoga movement, breathwork, mindfulness, somatic practices, and practical nervous system education in a way that's accessible, supportive, and grounded in science.

My hope is that you'll leave feeling more settled, more connected to yourself, and better equipped to navigate whatever life brings.

📍 Wednesdays | 6:00 pm (term starts 29th July)
Gibson Park Community Hall, Padbury

You're very welcome to come along for a casual class before deciding whether it's the right fit for you.

💙 Book here: www.suivness.com/bookings

If you've been waiting for a sign to make a little more space for yourself this term, perhaps this is it. I'd love to welcome you.

🌿 Term 3 is almost here... we start back next week! 🌿

A new term is a wonderful opportunity to pause, reset, and make a little more space for yourself.

I'm delighted to welcome our lovely community back. All classes are now full, with the exception of a small number of places available at the Wednesday 6:00 pm class in Padbury.

If you've been thinking about joining, this is the perfect time to begin.

These classes are about so much more than stretching. They offer 75 minutes (because an hour is just not enough!) each week to slow down, reconnect with your body, and simply be.

More than a yoga class, they're an opportunity to learn practical, evidence-informed ways to regulate your nervous system. That's why I call them "Embodied Regulation" classes. They blend gentle movement, evidence-informed somatic practices, breathwork, mindfulness, and nervous system education, giving you practical skills that stay with you long after you roll up your mat.

Each class is designed to help you leave feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and better able to navigate whatever life brings.

Whether you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, lonely, or simply longing for some time that's truly yours, you'll be warmly welcomed.

📍 Wednesdays | 6:00 pm
Gibson Park Community Hall, Padbury

You're very welcome to come along for a casual class and see if it's the right fit for you—there's no need to commit to the whole term straight away.

Fair warning though... most people come once and decide to stay! 😊

I'd love to welcome you into our Wednesday evening community.

Thursday Thoughts ….

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW

I wonder if you know
the work your body has done today
and every day

how much disease it fought
how many times it could have failed but battled on
how many ways it could have broken but did not

I wonder if you know
the work your body has done today
and every day

and each day it has achieved this amazing feat
without your help
your approval
your acceptance
or your kindness

Each day it has soldiered on
regardless of the constant stream of negativity
pulsing its way from your brain to your cells…

not good enough
not attractive enough
not the right shape

Perhaps it’s time to see your body for what is truly is
a mind-blowingly competent machine
a vessel to get your soul to where it needs to be in this life

to let you live.

I wonder if you know
how much better you and your body would be

as a team.

I wonder.

Yesterday’s Biggest Morning Tea was an enormous success, and together we raised an incredible $2,200 for cancer support and research. What a morning it was. A morning of connection. A morning of kindness. A morning of warmth. A morning of chatter, friendliness and goodness.

We moved together through yoga, gentle breathwork and meditation, wandered to the ocean together, shared a delicious morning tea, and enjoyed a fabulous raffle. It truly felt like an extraordinarily ordinary morning (if you know, you know!).

I was struck once again by the generosity and spirit of this community. People arrived early to help set up the hall, baked beautiful treats, packed everything away at the end of the day, simply noticing things to be done and quietly leaning in to help without ever being asked. It was something special.

I’d like to especially thank my fellow organisers — Wendy, Kathleen and Mary — this day would not have happened without you. You are very special ladies. And thank you to the bakers and many helpers who made the day so much more manageable for us. We are so grateful. We had so many great raffle prizes - many purchased or hand made by the team. A special shout out to Diane Thompson and her lovely sister for some beautiful handcrafted items, Shannon Dunn for donating specially created room sprays, Verona for the beautiful lavender heated pillow, Perth Reflexology for their generous voucher and barn for the wine magnums. Finally, a big thank you to Sarah for sponsoring a prize in loving memory of her mum Sue, a Suivness yogi, who very sadly passed away from cancer at the start of this year. She is very missed.

Thank you all again so much. What a wonderful community we have. And yes… we are already looking forward to next year 🌻

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🌻

Tomorrow’s fundraiser is officially SOLD OUT and we are on track to raise a whopping $2,000 for cancer support and research. How amazing is that.

Thank you to every single person who bought a ticket, donated, shared the event, purchased raffle tickets, or supported in any way. Your kindness and generosity mean so much.

I can’t wait to welcome you all tomorrow for what promises to be a very special morning together.

See you soon 🌻
