Soma Yoga

Dance Medicine: Ecstatic Dance Dunedin is getting closer ✨

This is your invitation to step out of the mental load of everyday life and allow the body to do it's thang.

Through immersive music and freestyle exploration, Dance Medicine creates space for emotion, energy, joy, and instinct to move through the body naturally.

People often leave feeling lighter, clearer, more alive, and more connected to themselves again.

This is an epic community gathering with fresh bassy beats to get down to

Registrations are open for our next Yoga for Beginners Journey ✨

If you've been curious about yoga but haven't known where to begin, this course is designed especially for you.

Over a supportive series of classes, you'll learn foundational yoga postures, breathing practices, relaxation techniques, and ways to move with greater confidence and ease in your body.

Along the way, you'll develop strength, mobility, balance, flexibility, and body awareness, while discovering how yoga can support nervous system wellbeing, stress management, better sleep, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

The focus isn't on being flexible or getting things perfect. It's about learning practical tools that help you feel better in your body and more connected to yourself.

No experience required. Just a willingness to begin

The body communicates in sensations well before the mind turns them into words and stories.

Tightness.
Expansion.
Heaviness.
Warmth.
Butterflies.
Numbness.
Relief.

Ancient systems understood the body as more than a physical structure alone - recognising the emotional, energetic, sensory layers of human experience as entirely interconnected.

And when we practice paying attention to these inner signals, we can reconnect with intuition, boundaries, and deeper self-awareness & truths in powerful ways. ✨

Feeling deeply grateful for these beautiful reflections from the community!

From Dance Medicine over in Mexico, to someone beginning their yoga journey for the very first time, to the deeper ongoing transformation that can unfold through Soma Yoga over time - it never stops being meaningful to witness the ways these practices impact people.

Thank you to everyone who trusts me, shows up, moves, rests, breathes, feels, explores, and grows in these spaces.

Creating and holding these experiences is something I care about deeply, and hearing how they land in your bodies and lives means so much ✨

Sound doesn’t just land in the ears - it lands in the cells. ✨

The vibrations of crystal bowls, gentle shamanic drum and other immersive instruments move through us in a deeply sensory way, often creating a felt experience of softening, grounding, and release.

Certain tones and rhythmic patterns can help guide the nervous system toward slower brainwave states associated with rest, meditation, and deep relaxation. As the body begins to settle, breathing often deepens, muscle tension decreases, and many people experience a feeling of spaciousness throughout the whole system.

Because the body itself is vibrational by nature - every heartbeat, nerve impulse, and cellular process operating through frequency and rhythm - sound can affect us in ways that feel both physical and emotional at the same time.

People often describe feeling the instruments resonate through the chest, belly, bones, and cells themselves… like the whole body is being gently retuned.

This is one of the reasons sound healing can feel so deeply soothing, regulating, and restorative

This Saturday evening, you could be cosied up in blankets, resting deeply while gentle sounds and live instruments serenade you.

Nidra Shakti is an immersive Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing experience designed to guide the body into profound rest and restoration. As the body softens and the mind becomes quieter, many people experience a feeling of deep replenishment.

There’s something powerful about being guided into stillness in a space intentionally created for rest. The pace slows, the nervous system settles, and the whole body is given an opportunity to recover from the constant stimulation of everyday life.

If your system has been craving softness, grounding, or simply a chance to exhale with the whole body, I would love to welcome you
