Yesterday we started by SOMA’s 12 week somatic journey with a new group of wāhine at CWP.
Always powerful.
Because they get it. They feel it.
They have direct access to the chaos of the body & the conditions that have created that chaos: the chaos that reigns when their past still rules their inner world & the external conditions keeps them in a constant state of emergency.
That, & the yearning for something else; the yearning to make change that feels reliable.
They feel the chaos.
They feel the yearning.
It’s right there.

Day 1: Moving at the pace of trust.
Attending to the foundations of building a felt-sense of trust in our group; the relational space.
A chance at creating a foundation of an honest place to start.
Go slow to then go fast.
Do your own work to meet people where they are at.
And remember: everyone needs time to suss a new person out especially when they have a lifetime of people who have let them down.
Neuroception: look it up.

The bed of embers that are the very foundation of SOMA are the wāhine and tane who I have worked alongside inside the wire. I sense them with me as I stoke the fire of SOMA as we approach our first anniversary.
Life moves towards life if the way feels safe enough.
Listen, your body will tell you.
The Resilience Kete is SOMA’s signature programme that we share with the women out at Christchurch Women’s.
We are humbled to be starting another 12 week cycle out there again.

Acknowledging Mary Oliver for her distinctive wording, “soft, animal body.”

Our outstanding signature Therapeutic Movement & Mindfulness programme returning in early October to finish 2025 with new insight, embodiment & perspective.
How this class is held is mind-blowing for many people without any edge of judgement or expectation, past bracing can release & new energy & action can emerge.
You won’t regret investing this time into yourself.

Beginning is an invitation to open toward the gifts and growth stored up for us.
Rather than instinctively grasping onto the familiar, we step out into possibility.
This can feel unbearable, like an unraveling of an old but familiar sense of self. However uncomfortable that has been, the body is likely to recoil even more toward the sense of unravelling.
So we honour this brave work and we move slowly, we follow what feels good and we begin to discover a felt-sense of coherence one building block at a time.
We begin to feel more whole, we take up the space that our dignity outlines and boundaries emerge from this space.
Yay for the beginnings and to all the fabulous humans arriving into our 8 week long trauma-sensitive yoga programmes this week.
