2nd & 16th December - SOMA Breath for Grief

For all types of grief - death of a loved one or relationship break-up etc. There are no set rules when it comes to grieving!

• Winter has a way of turning up the volume on grief.

  The lights go up, the songs start, and everyone is told it's the most wonderful time of the year. And you are somewhere else entirely. Carrying a weight no one else can see, an emptiness that sits in your chest and doesn't care what month it is.

  This programme is a place to arrive exactly as you are. Through guided SOMA Breath meditations, and tension release through movement, I'll hold the space while you make room for what you're feeling, gently and at your own pace, and begin to find the steadiness that is still there beneath the pain. These classes are a way of helping your body feel held when everything else feels too much.

  The classes will not be the same so you can come to one or both.

  You'll also take home a Bach flower blend, chosen by you, to provide ongoing emotional support between classes.

  Grief does not leave us. It is love, and it evolves with us

1st November - SOMA breath class “From overwhelm to safety: rooting down for winter”

• Transitioning into the festive season can feel like a tug-of-war. Everything pulls you outwards, while your body is asking for something quieter and more nourishing. This class gives you the space to put down what you've been carrying and settle into steadiness, so you leave feeling grounded in your body, not just thinking about it.

• The class has three sections: movement to music, to raise our energy and bring us out of our minds and into our bodies; 1 hour guided meditation with rounds of breathwork; sharing circle with specially blended herbal tea
