Introducing our May Journey of “Dancing Through Life”. We will focus on Sensation Science, specifically exploring how the body works, communicated and co-operates. And how we can move our body’s way (the current design and function of our body): through systemic movement.

After 5 stages lesson Helen will continue the focus into the 10:00am movement experience with one of her most request movement experiences “Enigma”.

Saturday 4/19/25 Helen is teaching both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages class and the 10:00am class.

The 10am class is IN PERSON, as well as the usual ONLINE via Zoom, with 24HR replay option.

With our April Challenge of Choices for Health + Happiness, Helen has curated 2 lovely experiences…

DAY 19: Choices for Health + Happiness

8:45am Nia 5 STAGES

FOCUS: One by One: Refining Technique

COMMENTS: Focus on the details of each of the Nia 5 stages. Focusing on detail and technique invites you to make adjustments to your movement in order to experience greater alignment and relaxation allowing for a deeper, more magical experience of the overall sensation and energy in each stage.

10am Rising CLASS

FOCUS: One by one (from our center, to our muscles, to our cells)

INTENT: Choose to be present, in your body, by paying attention to and honoring sensations. Listen to the music, and allow the music to inspire and feed your movement experience and lift your spirits. This is where the magic truly happens!

ROUTINE: Rising (Helen Original)

MUSIC: Playlist and more details here: https://www.somaranch.com/news/2025/4/15/rising-experience

COMMENTS: I invite you to personalize your movement class experience and "play magician" by choosing something you'd like to have appear or disappear for greater health and happiness. Perhaps it's an ache or pain or something on your heart or mind. When we are truly in our body, moving to the music, magical things can happen! Simply believe in magic! One move, one thought, one step at a time.

Happy Easter! We love this time of year. Helen Terry is happy to be teaching "IN PERSON" at Soma Ranch at 10am Saturday (also, as usual, ONLINE and 24HR replay).

As a Christian, at Easter time, I feel the strong desire to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. I also want to honor the uniqueness of everyone in class and be accepting of all religions, beliefs and faiths. Coming into my inclusive public Nia class with "let's all celebrate Jesus!" si

Happy April from Soma Ranch

We’ve been on quite a whirlwind since the last newsletter. Thank you for your understanding.

I (Helen) chose to return to the UK to attend a funeral of one of the most dearest and significant people in my life, Barbs Hanlon. This “Impromtu” visit influenced by wisdom I received from Brene Brown years ago where she encourages us to always “show up and participate at funerals”

Within days of my return Joe and I hosted a SOLD OUT retreat for Hoopers. Yes! folks who are very passionate about hula hoops and all the movement experiences and performances possible.
We then hosted a private rental immediately after. Then left for Seattle to visit family and check on our Lake Cushman Cabin. We have several vacancies and fabulous “family and friend” rates for you to book direct. Please let us know if you’d like more information.

Now we are back, catching up, cutting grass, clipping hedges, cleaning the deck and pool. Enjoying how everything has greened up and a joyful pleasure of living in Texas: the spring wild flowers including glorious Texas Bluebonnets.

Thank you to the 66 donors who contributed to the annual St Fundraiser we raised $5000, This is the 5th year to complete this quest.that has become a lifelong endeavor for me.
Today we begin our April 30 day “Variety” journey where we will feature choices for health and happiness. Now is a lovely time to choose to join us!

Next Monday is Monthly Cuppa hope you can join us, connect and celebrate.

Let us know how we may help more.

with love,
Helen, Joe and all the 4 legged friends at Soma
