Move to connect, not to perfect

About

Soma, by its Ancient Greek definition, means “living body.”

In today’s world—where stress and disconnection are all too common—Soma Practice offers a grounding space to express, sense and reconnect with our living, feeling bodies in a nourishing way.

Guided by the natural rhythms of the nervous system — release, restore, and regulate — Soma Practice weaves together somatic movement and embodied expression to support presence, connection, and stress relief, helping you rediscover a sense of harmony within your Soma.

The Soma Method – Release, Restore, Regulate

To support true nervous system rest, we begin by gently mobilising and releasing stored activation in the body. Soma’s signature STRONG classes are thoughtfully designed to support this process using body-based tools like breath, vocalisation, and dynamic movement—allowing energy to move and express in a safe, embodied way.

Once this energy has been released, the nervous system becomes more receptive to softening and settling. Our SOFT classes offer a nurturing space to guide the body into a downregulated restful state through restorative movement, gentle breathwork, and soothing somatic practices.

To suit your needs and schedule, you can choose a 45-minute class (either STRONG or SOFT) or experience the full magic of the Soma Method in a 90-minute session—moving seamlessly from STRONG into SOFT for a deeply integrated and balanced practice.

Soma Ethos – Move to connect, not to perfect

At Soma Practice, we embrace a new way of moving —
one grounded in connection, enjoyment, mindfulness, and presence.

Here, movement isn’t about performance or perfection; it’s about coming home to your body, just as it is.

You’re invited to explore intuitive, non-linear movement that honours the natural rhythm of your body. We let go of the pressure to move or look a certain way, creating a space where every Soma is welcomed—seen, heard, and accepted. You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, in your own unique expression—because there’s no “right” way to move, only your way to explore your Soma.
