Body-Mind-Unwind with Susannah Nelson

05/11/2025

📢 We have just launched an urgent fundraiser to secure the future of Breathworks.

Right now, Breathworks is facing a particularly challenging time. Demand for our support has never been higher - more people are living with chronic pain and long-term illness, yet fewer can afford to access help.

We need to raise £50,000 by 31st December to safeguard our charity and continue reaching those who need us most.

Every donation counts - if everyone in our community gave just £5, we’d reach our target.

Can you be one of our early supporters?

Donations made in the first 48 hours give our campaign crucial momentum - helping our campaign reach more people and inspiring others to give.

Thank you for your support - every donation brings us closer to a future where no one faces pain and illness alone.

✨ Vidyamala Burch OBE is an internationally recognised mindfulness teacher and co-founder of Breathworks. After a severe spinal injury as a teenager, she found mindfulness to be life-changing. She went on to develop Mindfulness for Health — the first mindfulness programme for pain and illness — which has since supported over 100,000 people worldwide.

✨ Miranda Hart is a beloved writer, actor, comedian, and Sunday Times bestselling author. In her latest book, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, she shares her struggle with chronic fatigue and Lyme disease which left her bed-bound for years — and how she began to rediscover joy through what she calls her “10 treasures.”

Both authors are united in a real lived experience of chronic illness, but above all, a deep desire to help others by sharing the tools that helped them along the way.

💙 All proceeds go directly to the Breathworks Foundation (Charity no. 1131851), helping us keep mindfulness courses and free resources available for anyone living with pain, illness, or stress.

Selling some of my Premium Self care Tools .1st listing below Great products just to difficult to ship now from USA!

The TRS Leopard Roller is used to break up knotted muscle fibers, decrease muscle tension, and diminish tightness. The Leopard roller's texture is what you first may notice. But we also wanted a surface to allow the user to "scrub" their superficial tissues (like warm silk over steel springs baby).

Posting a link here to the wonderful Breathworks course , it’s a free 10 day course for those living with pain, and debilitating conditions , over 10 years ago the book mindfulness for health Vidayamala Burchs’s book won the BMA book of the year . I started the training then to become one of there teachers but never completed it !! was being pulled in lots of different directions into Nervous system and somatic work. I bought loads of copies of the book and gave it away to friends and recommended it to many clients, Some of whom said it was life changing, and she has a really lovely voice to listen too!

Then & Now: Body Mind Unwind

Back in 2014, my flyer for Body Mind Unwind was already talking about:

Breath for mental clarity

Myofascial release and neuro-muscular therapy

Tools to ease stress and pain

Being kind to ourselves in movement

At the time, these ideas weren’t widely seen in community classes. They were simply what felt right to me as a way of helping people move and feel better.

I’ve always been a lifelong learner — often exploring the edges quietly, following my curiosity. Over time, many of those edges have become part of the mainstream conversation: fascia, nervous system regulation, trauma-aware movement.

Today, Body Mind Unwind continues to evolve. It now weaves together:

Yoga Tune Up® therapy balls for fascia release

Muscle activation (Douglas Heel’s Be Activated) to reset patterns

Therapeutic movement informed by yoga, pilates and functional training

A nervous-system-first approach: working with fight/flight/freeze, baselines, and the power of breath

Because here’s the truth: you can’t build lasting strength if you’re stuck in fight, flight or freeze. Push through in that state and your body will compensate… until one day it gives out. (“I was fine… then my back just went” might sound familiar.)

New Term Starts September

Tuesdays 5.45–7pm Hybrid (online Spectrum Wellness, Southwell) → Sept 2nd

Yep.. put away those golf balls PLEASE !! it doesn’t have to hurt to work.. I started incorporating Tune up balls 10 years ago into all my classes and client session .This is a game changer. The more muscle and nervous system bracing you have to more un comfortable you will feel . Which is why I only use soft tools now .. Hallelujah Jill Miller for the Tune Up balls. Your Nervous system leads the way ..

Interesting as we know the Vagus nerve is foundational in its signalling to have more nervous system flexibility to up and down regulate our brain and body’s response to stress strain and various inflammatory pathways .

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a pill-sized device for treating rheumatoid arthritis, marking the first time the therapy has been approved for an autoimmune condition
