An evening of sacred sound, devotion, and remembrance.

Join us for Kirtan with Acharya Mangalananda & Friends, a heart-opening gathering rooted in the living lineage of Anandamayi Ma. Through mantra, rhythm, and collective song, we gather to remember what is already within us—joy, connection, and love.

Acharya Mangalananda has lived and studied in India for decades and now shares this timeless practice across the world, joined by his Bay Area kirtan band for a rousing night of ecstatic chant.

Come as you are. Let the sound carry you home. Link in bio to join 🎶❤️🙏

✨Introducing Soma Rituals: simple handcrafted tools to support your daily practice, on and off the mat.

Our practice lives beyond the mat. Soma Rituals is an extension of what we explore together in class - a way to carry practice into your home, your mornings, your quieter moments.

These handcrafted ritual kits are rooted in the wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda, offered as a simple daily practice for grounding, nourishment, and inner steadiness. They’re an invitation to slow down, tend to yourself, and remember that you are held and supported.

Each kit includes a warming herbal chai blend, a hand-poured amber, coconut & vanilla candle, and a nourishing body oil to support daily ritual.

✨ Available in store only, stop by to purchase for yourself or for the mindful yogi in your life. Only 12 kits available through the end of the year!

✨ Welcome, Claire Smoker! ✨

We’re so excited to welcome the lovely to our Soma teaching team!

From Claire:
“Through the practice of yoga, I have learned and continue to learn how to be deeply present with myself, whatever arises, and simply notice. In my classes, I guide students in a way that invites them to tune into their experience, creating space to explore with curiosity. I show up as my authentic self and empower students to do the same.”

Claire began teaching yoga after completing her first 200-hour training in 2022 and has since expanded her knowledge through additional trainings, meditation retreats, and a dedicated daily practice.

Based in the East Bay, she finds joy in “baking sourdough bread, eating sourdough toast with butter and salt, plunging into alpine lakes, and sending voice memos.”

You can practice with Claire every Friday at noon for Vinyasa! Come move, breathe, & explore with her✨

We’ll see you on the mat!
