Wonderful to be a part of this special morning.

We even had a special tour of the co-working hub that is starfish enterprises. Donna and Damien are incredible people and the space they’ve created is fantastic.
If you need to rent an office space or a conference room the prices are insanely reasonable.

Special thanks to revolve for organising. The support for local resources is amazing. We are so lucky to have so much help and support available to small businesses. I will absolutely be checking out the drop in clinics as well.

🚦 FERRYBRIDGE SLOW FLOW🚦

No unfortunately this isn’t the delicious slow flow movement class outside on the fleet 😂

It’s the roadworks kind 🙄

For the next six weeks we encourage you to allow yourself more time to come to class as we navigate together the red amber green vibes that will be sure to plague Portland commuters for the temporary foreseeable.

We will be waivering our late rule until March and where possible I will be able to extend sessions for those who may arrive late.
Try not to let the situation frustrate you… but I completely understand as I’ll be sitting in it right there with you - who knows an outdoor class on the fleet might be a logical reality 🤣

As our daily life gets a little disruption we’ve doubled up sessions so you can get the most out of your practice and potentially avoid a double commute so we are doing what we can x

Thank you for continuing to show up to your practice - it means the world and possibly yoga is something you will need more than ever to prevent the road rage defining your personality for a while!

🗒️ TIMETABLE CHANGES 🗒️

A video newsletter today folks to update you on a couple of changes to the class schedule

Starting next week the stunning will be teaching a SECOND fire and form 🔥 class at the slightly later time of 9.30am - this class is super popular because it’s effective, it’s intelligent and it bloody works - so again your wish is our command we’ve added that in starting next Wednesday.

Pilates is also the slightly earlier time of 6pm while Hannah is off to have her little marshmallow 👶🏻 wishing her all the best and love in the world

Also Friday is changing a bit. Flow will move to 5.30pm as you guys have been pestering me for an evening sesh 😊
Also not mentioned in the video is ad additional chair yoga class at 11am after gentle yoga also on a Friday.
Relaxing yin will be slightly later with a 6.45pm start!

Keep your eyes open for further updates! I just need to get on the right time zone 🤣

Also, selfie videos are bloody terrifying aren’t they 🤣

🧘🏼I’M NOT ME WITHOUT MOVEMENT 🧘🏼

I’m often told I work too hard and I should take time out to rest and relax.
But that’s not me.
Some people run, some people lift, some people binge-watch. Me? I move. Movement ju**ie right here 🙋

When I don’t move something feels off. Don’t get me wrong I love a lie in and a solo spa is one of my favourite dates with myself but when I’m away from my mat too long I start to stiffen up and much to the fellas annoyance I’m a little bit grumpy.

Thankfully, here in oz I’ve found another class to book myself onto first thing on Saturday morning :-)

Talking of Saturday morning … just had a massive bout of bloody fomo!

The stunner that is Miss Lou will be opening the studio for 2026 with Revive Yoga this Saturday at 9am…move, breathe, and reconnect with your body if like me a few days off your mat has left you a bit stiff and stagnant :-)

🥳 🎉 NEW YEAR NEW YOU 🎉 🥳

Oh please do f**k off! 😂

You don’t need fixing, upgrading, shrinking, optimising, or reinventing. I certainly bloody don’t either as despite what these pics say…. I’m fab enough thanks!

Let’s call it what it is:
A whole lot of bu****it designed to make you feel not-enough so someone else can sell you transformation in exchange for cash.

Detox this. Reset that. Become better, lighter, more disciplined, more evolved.
Go away….

You are not a January project.
You are not late.
You are not behind.

Growth that’s real doesn’t arrive on a calendar date or in a neatly packaged programme with a discount code. It happens slowly, sideways, messily and when you decide it matters, not because the internet told you it’s time. Embrace the beautiful disaster you are - you are perfectly imperfect or imperfectly perfect - I never know the right way around but it doesn’t really bloody matter does it?

If you want to change, beautiful.
If you don’t, also beautiful.

Discover yourself on your own terms.
Move when it feels true.
Rest when you need to.
Evolve because it’s honest not because it’s January 1st.

Same you. Still enough.
Always was. - YOU DO YOU you gorgeous human!

So f**k you sales pitches and any message that tries to change me…
Even if the pics above suggest I could benefit from a good nights sleep and a facial 🤣

🥳 👏🏼 THAT’S A WRAP 👏🏼 🥳
A little late posting, but the weekend marked our final class for 2025 and as usual we finished the year with our ever famous 12 Days of Christmas festive flow. 🐦 🕊️ 🐓🐥💍🥚🦢🐄💃🪈🤸🏼🥁

A class filled with pure joy and laughter as we took on the flow challenge yelled ‘EGG’ ( ) and laughed until we cried - def our Christmas tradition!
A class that really pinpoints everything the studio is about - pure joy.

As I settle in to a few days of much needed rest, I’m already gearing up for next year and as I look to build Sìdà yoga into something I never even thought was possible, my heart is full as I reflect back on what we’ve all built here.

2026 will be a year of more growth, more classes, more trainings and above all, more joy.

Merry Christmas to all my sìdà yogis! 🎄

🎁 LAST MINUTE PRESSIES 🎁

If your inbox has been anything like mine this week you would have been inundated with emails saying ‘last day to order for Christmas delivery’ and ‘your Christmas shopping is now 50-70% off’ (ok I went a bit sinister with that second one but how are there sale emails already?…)

But my inbox has also been full of gift card orders from you lovely lot! - def a record year!

Sìdà yoga gift cards are an amazing way to add that little bit of uniqueness and thoughtfulness to your Christmas presents this year.

Perhaps you are a seasoned yogi and frequent the studio weekly and it’s about bloody time you treated yourself to a gift this year after all the graft that this festive season brings.

I’m not keen on plaguing your inbox but I am keen in spreading wellness joy….
And with even more classes being added to our schedule in January (post to follow!) there has never been better time to give the gift of yoga.
