This week we dedicate our practice and energy to this incredible human .vs.thebigc.

Tasha has been coming to the studio since day dot and just over 2 years ago Tasha was diagnosed with the bastard that is cancer, and a rare, stage 4 fu**er.

Despite this, Tasha shows up. She’s totally dedicated to her self-love journey and brings a warm abundance of positivity with her. This week marks a potential shift in her treatment that could rapidly shape the reframe her life, so we are holding her in our hearts and on our mats this week.

As we planned our session on this overcast Sunday evening…we thought about beautiful heart openers that invite renewal, strong warrior flows to ignite courage and chanting rituals that ground us in the NOW.

Tasha, thank you for showing that you can find light in darkness and that the power of positivity is the sometimes the best medicine (okay the radiotherapy might help a bit too….) it’s not an easy journey, but you are so loved for everything that is beautifully, authentically you 🩷

Tasha may the only lungless human in Britain soon, but we have no doubt that’ll effect her pranayama practice and she doesn’t just hold up a middle finger to cancer, but she does it with a beaming smile…

All the ‘soma’ wellness wishes for this total hero ###

Oh, and also F**K CANCER.

Bars shouldn’t block rights!

This week we delivered a family yoga session for a group of Fathers with their children at Armley prison. Oh, we also met Doris & Boris, (the prison owls, naturally).

This session was so much more than breathing & moving together, but instead healing together. This isn’t just a bit of mindfulness and bubbles. It’s breaking cycles of trauma, building bonds, and giving families moments of peace in a system that is built to divide.

Yoga in prisons isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline. It gives tools to process anger and grief, and it gives children memories of connection instead of surveillance and cold walls.

Programs like yoga with children remind us that love and humanity can survive behind bars and that a strong prison system isn’t simply about punishment — it’s about rehabilitation, growth and kindness. Yoga for these families is one step toward breaking cycles and building stronger futures for the next generation…

Yo Yo Yogis! Some exciting news (can we have a drum roll please….🥁)

✨ New teacher alert!! ✨

With our lovely Cecile leaving for France we’ve got some pretty big boots (or bottes) to fill, but we are confident with our wonderful replacement teacher, Sian.

We’ve actually known Sian for years as she held space for George when she was preggo with numbero uno many moons ago. Since then Sian has been attending classes & retreats at SOMA and also offering the odd bit of cover…so it’s altogether likely you’ve landed on the mat with her before.

We’re very excited to welcome this divine human to the space permanently and we’ve got some exciting things in the yogic pipe lines, in the meantime, a word from the lass herself…

🙏With over 14 years of experience guiding students through Power Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, and Pre/Postnatal practices, my teaching is rooted in creativity, inviting exploration and self expression on the mat. I believe yoga is for every body and am passionate about creating inclusive spaces where students feel seen, respected, and empowered. I offer support with compassion, intention, and a bit of playful fire🙏

Sian will be offering classes on a Wednesday evening (7:30pm) and Sunday morning (9am)…

Love, welcome to the family 🩷 it’s a goodun.

As blissful as this sunshine is, what we love MOST about England (except scones) is the turn of each season. So whilst we’re lapping up the Vit D we can’t help but look forward to cosy socks, amber speckled leaves & big bowls of belly warming soup.

A day to experience a beautiful blend of invigorating movement & yoga, a trek into the great outdoors, belly-filling & nourishing food, moments of mindfulness and meditation and of course, good old SOMA treats along the way.

You guys bring yourselves and we’ll do the rest.

It is with great sadness and solemn souls that we say au revoir to our lovely Cecile. Cecile has graced us with her friendship, teaching skills and solid silliness for many years and whilst we’re gutted that France is stealing her back, we know that her heart belongs back home 🩷

Cecile, we wish you magical times, insane success and all the abundance that life can throw your way. You are SO SO SO deserving…Yorkshire has been seriously lucky to pinch you for this little pocket of time. Now go shine on you crazy diamond….

With ALL DA LOVE,

Your SOMA family x

We will be offering various practices, with extra treats in our little courtyard - massage, crafts, tarot, flapjack and a crafting-crèche - and whaddddupppp it’s all frickin’ FREE!

This is a chance for us to invite some beautiful new faces to our studio but also an opportunity to say an almighty whallop of a thank you for all your help and support with our recent renovation. We have some of the finest yoga teachers from Yorkshire sharing their skills for you, so come and sample their magic!

The downlow if ya don’t know: we did a crowdfunder last year so we could build a bigger, brighter and better studio with an accessible toilet and changing facilities.

So come and treat yourself, and maybe some family/friends to a free downward dog with a side of flapjack. Cause baby YOU ARE WORTH IT and don’t we know it.

A top tip : for booking ease we implore you to use our app (it’s simply ‘Soma Wellness’ on app stores)
