Soma Yoga

Don't know about you but life has been full. on. these last few.....weeks?....months?....years?

That's why we've got to get in amongst the spaces, times and people that help us pause. Places where we can step away from the endless doing and exist in a different way...in the beingness.

Dance Medicine, our community freestyle dance, is one of those spaces. Where our presence is enough.

It's amazing what can happen when we give ourselves permission to be fully here.

Sometimes the medicine is simply being here enough to remember our alivemess is now, and to feel our wholeness is too.

✨ Dance Medicine: Ecstatic Dance Dunedin is held on the first Friday of every month at 7pm.

Come exactly as you are....pop your to-do list to one side....and let's go.

I can't wait to move with you!
THIS FRIDAY people, please book asap ;)
7pm at Soma Yoga 7 Crawford St.
(I'll drop a ticket link in the comments)

Hi, I'm Jasmin, and I'm the teacher of our upcoming Soma Yoga and Soma Healing Journeys.

I love sharing yoga because it changed my life.

After rediscovering my love of yoga in my twenties, I eventually travelled to Canada to train, then to India where I lived, studied and taught full-time. I've now been teaching for over 18 years.

Today my work focuses on nervous system informed yoga for people who are ready to move beyond chronic stress, fatigue and survival mode, and towards being calmer, stronger, more flexible and more at ease in everyday life....or for those who are already fully experiencing those benefits and want to keep it flowing!

Every Yoga Journey at Soma Yoga is designed to be welcoming, supportive and accessible. Whether you're completely new to yoga or looking to deepen an existing practice, you'll experience movement, breathing, postures & sequences that can be adapted to be easier, and/or deepened for you and wherever you're at.

In my sessions, it's never about pushing or performing. It's about being in a space, with good, chill vibes and guidance for a practice that you can drop into, that feels good, sustainable and supportive - and after which you feel the yoga glow ✨ 😉 ✨

Our next Soma Journeys begin soon (from 23 July), and if you're new or returning, I'd love to welcome you!

New to yoga? You're in exactly the right place. 🌿

One of the biggest misconceptions about yoga is that you need to ALREADY be flexible, fit, or know what you're doing before you begin.

You don't.

Yoga for Beginners: 8 Week Course meets you exactly where you are.

Whether you're looking to move more comfortably, reduce stress, build strength, improve balance, or simply carve out an hour + for yourself each week, there's a place for you here.

Our classes are welcoming and supportive with an experienced teacher (me!) who offer options throughout the practice so you can move at your own pace.

Everyone starts somewhere - and we'd love to welcome you to your first class, or first class back.

✨ Come as you are...I'll meet you there.

One of my favourite parts of Dance Medicine is curating the fresh flow.

Each track is chosen to take us on a felt journey that touches grounding, expression, release, joy, connection and calm.

Back in the day when I was a club and festival DJ, I loved spending entire afternoons at Echo Records listening through vinyl after vinyl, looking for the for the just right, fresh additions for my set. And then shooting over to Records Records to hopefully add a rarity or two.

These days, the intention is different, but the love is exactly the same.

I still spend hours listening for music that evokes depth - music that invites our presence....invites us to remember, to soften....and sounds that makes our senses tingle.....

Maybe the dance floor has changed - instead of (loud and a little chaotic) nights of celebration, I'm now moving in spaces that are still on the wild side, but more about intentional connection, release and healing.

For me, music has always been more than a soundtrack.

It's medicine.

I can't wait to share this Friday night's journey with you. ✨

Dance Medicine: Ecstatic Dance Dunedin is on This Friday at 7pm...and if you're coming....it's time to book

Only 4 spaces remain for the next Soma Yoga Journey starting July✨

Healing happens through showing up: with consistency, intention, practice and presence...and that's the beauty of an 8 Week Journey.

Each week builds upon, and expands from the last, creating a supportive container where you bring your consciousness fully into play, you can go as deep or as shallow as feels right for you each time, listening to and regulating your nervous system, deepening your practice, and cultivating lasting change from the inside out, from the ground up.

Blending somatic yoga, pranayama, wholesome, great tunes and deep relaxation, this holistic programme supports your body, mind and nervous system to function at their best - cultivating greater resilience, self awareness and the grounded presence & clarity needed to move towards your goals with greater ease.

If you've been craving a more intentional and holistic way to care for yourself, (body, mind & soul) this journey is for you.

🗓 Thursdays from 23 July
🕢 7:30pm
✨ Only 4 spaces remaining.

Choose your self with these 8 weeks of intentional nourishment for the cells and the soul.

Looking forward to connecting soon!
Jasmin
