Sue Dawson, Founder of Sense Greater Peace.
SENSE GREATER PEACE Pilates & Yoga Studio, Woolacombe
Welcome. I’m Sue Dawson — guide, mentor, and wholehearted witness to your unfolding.
For over three decades, I’ve walked alongside people through life’s transitions—helping them soften, strengthen, and awaken through practices that honour the full spectrum of our being. My work is grounded in a deep understanding that we are not separate parts to be fixed, but an integrated system of mind, body, soul, and spirit—each informing the other in a dance as ancient as breath itself.
When we begin to listen to that system, we begin to live differently.
We move with more grace and ease.
We feel and think with more clarity.
We meet challenges with greater resilience.
And, perhaps most importantly, we remember who we truly are.
Much of what holds us back lies beneath the surface—entrenched patterns of thought, emotion, and movement that can manifest as physical tension, restlessness, fatigue, or that quiet ache of disconnection. Together, we bring these into awareness. We don’t fix—we remember. We hold space and that space allows release.
Through breath, movement, stillness, sound, and honest reflection, we begin the journey back home to ourselves.
My approach is rooted in lived experience, professional mastery, and an ever-curious spirit.
I weave ancient wisdom with contemporary science, always tailored to the uniqueness of you.
Whether in a soulful group class, a bespoke one-to-one session, a retreat beside the sea, or a quiet moment of guided reflection, every offering is designed to meet you where you are—and gently guide you toward where you long to be.
This is about more than flexibility.
It’s about finding freedom, Freedom to feel deeply.
To move with integrity. To live with joy, vitality, and a sense of purpose that radiates far beyond the yoga mat.
If you’re seeking more than just a class—if you’re ready for a guide who sees all of you, who will hold space with wisdom, honesty, and fierce compassion—I would be honoured to walk beside you.
Because this isn’t just movement.
It’s a remembering.
A reclamation.
A return.
With warmth and wholehearted presence,
Sue Dawson xxx
