Soma Yoga & Wellness

✨ What if the version of you you're looking for is already here, you just haven't had the space to meet her?

This fall, four Kundalini Yoga teachers come together for Connecting to Your Authentic Self, a four-week journey exploring the mind, body, inner wisdom, and what it means to live from a place of greater self-trust.

Each week is led by a different teacher, bringing her own lens and energy, woven together by a shared intention to move through the energetic self:

Awaken → Listen → Embody → Align

Expect movement, breathwork, mantra, meditation, self-inquiry, and plenty of space to slow down and listen inward.

✨ Saturdays, Oct 17, 24, 31 & Nov 7 | 1:30–3 PM
✨ $88 full series (save $56!) | $36 per workshop
✨ Beginner-friendly, no experience needed

with Leila Chambers, Jenny Overman, Carolina Vega & Alison E. Berman

Come for one. Or come for all four. Either way, come with an open heart.

✨ Yoga Nidra: An Hour to Rest & Reset ✨

What if you didn't have to stretch, strengthen, focus, or do anything at all?

Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice designed to bring you into a state of deep relaxation while remaining gently aware.

For this one-hour practice, will guide you through breath awareness, a body scan, relaxation techniques, and visualization as you settle comfortably into rest. There is no movement once you're settled, and absolutely nothing you need to achieve or do perfectly.

You might stay awake. You might drift in and out of sleep. You might fall fully asleep. All of it is welcome.

Come as you are, wear something comfortable, and bring anything that will help you feel supported and cozy.
A little time to soften, unplug, and simply rest. 🤍

Come rest with us. ✨

There are sound baths… and then there are experiences guided by someone who has spent nearly two decades studying the art and practice of healing through sound.

This Sunday, we're so excited to welcome Fawntice Finesse to Soma for a special Sound Bath Meditation.

Fawntice is an award-winning flautist with a Master's Degree in Music and Integrated Media from CalArts and a certified sound therapist specializing in Himalayan singing bowls, Tibetan sacred instruments, tuning forks, and gongs. She has been at the forefront of the resurgence of sound healing in the U.S. since 2008, integrating sound with restorative yoga and meditation.

Her work has taken her into deeply meaningful spaces — supporting people navigating cancer, pregnancy and labor, hospice, trauma recovery, chronic pain, and mental health and recovery. She brings together her training in sound therapy, yoga therapy, restorative yoga, Reiki, meditation, and more to create experiences that are both deeply grounding and expansive.

--> In other words: we think you're in for something really special. ✨

Join us for an evening of sound, stillness, and deep rest:

✨ Sound Bath Meditation with Fawntice Finesse ✨

Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is simply slow down, get comfortable, and receive.

Join us for a deeply restorative evening of sound meditation led by the incredible Fawntice Finesse, a pioneering sound therapist, musician, and meditation teacher who has been sharing the healing power of sound for over 15 years.

After a brief introduction and intention-setting meditation, you'll settle onto your mat as the soothing vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, bells, gong, and other sacred instruments wash over you. This immersive experience invites your nervous system to soften, your mind to quiet, and your body to deeply rest.

Whether you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or simply longing for a moment of stillness, this is an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and leave feeling grounded and renewed.

Let's be real - pregnancy asks a lot of your body.

As your baby grows, your posture shifts, your breath changes, your center of gravity moves, and muscles begin working in entirely new ways. It's no wonder pregnancy can feel both beautiful and overwhelming.

Prenatal yoga isn't about doing more, it's about learning how to support your changing body with intention.

A thoughtfully designed prenatal practice can help:
✨ Ease common pregnancy discomforts
✨ Build functional strength and stability
✨ Support healthy breathing and nervous system regulation
✨ Connect with your pelvic floor and deep core
✨ Create space to slow down, rest, and reconnect with yourself

And perhaps the greatest benefit of all? Community. There is something incredibly powerful about moving alongside others who are currently moving through this season of life.

That's exactly why Soma owner and current pregnant mama created Nurtured, our six-week prenatal yoga journey designed to support you with movement, education, and meaningful connection throughout pregnancy.

Registration is now open. We'd love to welcome you. 🤍

Stories have the power to transform us.

They invite us to see ourselves and the world around us with fresh eyes. Through compassion, mystery, and timeless wisdom, they gently loosen our grip on the stories we've been telling ourselves and open us to something deeper.

Join Natalie Somers for an evening of Bhakti storytelling, sacred chanting, and heartfelt community on Friday, July 24 at 7:00 PM.

Together, we'll explore the rich mythology of beloved Hindu deities, uncover the deeper symbolism behind their stories, and discover how their qualities continue to live within our own everyday experiences. These ancient tales aren't simply myths - they're mirrors, offering guidance, inspiration, and reminders of our own innate wisdom.

We can't wait to share this beautiful evening with you. 🌙
