Based in White Cross, we have a wide range of classes for everybody. Try our introductory offer 21days for £40! We’re Annie and Paul- partners in life and in vision. Together, we create spaces where people can move, breathe and feel part of something bigger

Our story with Lancaster’s wellbeing community began when Annie took on The River Room in 2021. The River Room had already been a much-loved space since 2016 and becoming its new guardians was both a privilege and an adventure. Over the past few years, we’ve nurtured it into a thriving home for yoga, pilates, movement and meditation. A place where community is at the heart of everything. As that community grew, so did our dream. We wanted to bring what had been cultivated by the river into the centre of the city to create a second home for yoga and wellbeing that was accessible to even more people. That vision became SOMA. The name SOMA is greek and translates as “the body living in its wholeness” and that’s the essence of this space. Like The River Room, SOMA is more than just a studio. It’s a sanctuary for presence and connection. A place where movement is not only physical but also becomes a grounding and deeply human practice. From the banks of the River Lune to the heart of Lancaster city, our journey has been one of creativity, care and community. And whether you step into The River Room or SOMA, our hope is that you feel it: a sense of calm, beauty and belonging.

The faces behind SOMA!

We are nearly six months into our SOMA journey! It feels like a lifetime since Paul and I were filming those DIY build reels. Since we have so many new faces here, and someone recently asked “Who is Paul?”, we thought it was time for a reintroduction.

Hi! 👋 We’re Annie and Paul.

The founders of SOMA and partners in life and vision. We create spaces where people can move, breathe and feel part of something bigger.

Our story began in 2021 when I took over The River Room in Halton. As that community grew, so did our dream of bringing that same energy into the heart of Lancaster. That vision became SOMA.

Paul is our behind-the-scenes hero. He handles the bookings, payments and tech to keep everything running smoothly.

Annie- That’s me! I look after our marketing, teachers, and instagram. You’ll usually find me teaching, having a proper natter at the front desk or taking a class myself!

While we founded the studio, SOMA is powered by an incredible team of teachers who are quite simply the best humans. We are also a true family business. Whether it’s our toddler ‘reorganising’ the blocks, my stepson helping out on his holidays or my parents sweeping the floors, we are all in this together.

Thank you for being part of our community. If we haven’t met yet, please come and say hello next time you’re in. I always love a good chat! ❤️

Is there any better way to spend your Sunday?

We are so lucky that Annie is holding space every month for a somatic session. Annie is an incredibly skilled somatic practitioner and this monthly Sunday session will include Breathwork, movement, somatic unravelling and bodywork. The perfect tonic to reset and settle your body for the week ahead.

The first session is this Sunday (1st March) and they will run monthly on the first Sunday on the month going forward from there!

2-4.30pm
Included in unlimited membership or £20 drop in.

They will be popular, so booking is essential and there is a waitlist for each session.

Book via the Team Up app.

We don’t believe in one size fits all fitness. We believe in movement that meets you exactly where you are- whatever your age, whatever your stage. At SOMA, we literally have something for everyone.

You’re in the best hands with our incredible pilates team. They are some of the most experienced teachers in the area, specialising in working with all different levels- from those just starting their journey to seasoned movers looking for a challenge.

A quiet corner of the world, just for you.

Because life is loud. Your brain is full. And sometimes you just need a room where no one needs anything from you.

That’s what SOMA is.

A warm space to roll out a mat, breathe a bit deeper, move how you need to move and remember what it feels like to be in your body again.

No pressure.
No performance.
Just people showing up as they are, tired, hopeful, messy, human.

If you’re craving a little steadiness in your week, the door’s open.

Come settle in with us.

January at SOMA is about how you practice, not how hard.

As we move into the new year, we’re choosing steadiness over reinvention and consistency over intensity.

To support that, we’re offering two January-only options designed to help your practice feel sustainable, supportive and rooted.

Discounted Full Membership- £75 per month for 6 months
A commitment-based membership for those who want to make regular practice part of their life rhythm. This offer is open to both new and current members- yes, existing members are welcome to switch. The focus here is continuity, familiarity and showing up as you are.

4-Class Pass (with a little extra)
For January only, our 4-class pass includes a complimentary fifth class, 5 classes for the price of 4. A gentle nudge to come just one more time and let your practice settle.

Both offers are available throughout January.
All bookings and full details are via the link in our bio.

We also still have our ongoing introductory offer of 21days for £40 giving you 3 weeks to try as many classes as you would like! And if you buy that now, you’d still have time to take up the January offers at the end of it!

We can’t wait to welcome you into SOMA this year ❤️
