Howdy!

I’m flabbergasted to realize how the last newsletter sent out was August 8! How time flies. Since then, Joe and I (Helen) remodeled a house, moved from Soma Ranch, drove 2308 miles to Seattle to leave a car with Liliana and Carter (our daughter and son-in-law), flew back to Houston, and now Helen is back in Seattle while Joe is clearing out the Soma Barn/Workshop.

Click the link/photo below for links to more information and photos about all this stuff...... (FYI this photo was taken back in 2013 when we changed the name of our business from RanchONia to Soma Ranch.)

Why all this change? Two big reasons:

Liliana and Carter are expecting our first grandchild (due any day now)

We’re getting ready to sell Soma Ranch.

Tomorrow (Saturday), Natasha will teach Nia 5 Stages "Sacrum and Coccyx," followed by Helen’s special 10 am “Soma Faith Dance.” This session focuses on moving and feeling from the lower spine, exploring meaningful and sacred movement shapes — a colorful, unique experience. Join us online and/or watch the 24-hour replay.

Thanks to everyone who have already shared ideas to celebrate Soma Ranch. If you’d like to be part of our celebrations please fill out the survey to help us plan events and retreats you’ll enjoy.

Now is a great time to book a short stay retreat at Soma Ranch.

Next month’s journey will focus on the UPPER EXTREMITIES. To wrap up our 30-day program, we’re offering a special deal: pay for October and November ($198), and get December free. We hope you’ll join us for the grand finale.

When you sign up for October by September 28th you can bring a friend for FREE!

2 more opportunities to enjoy a training with Helen: Come celebrate with us: October Oregon or November Budapest.

Be well, with love from

Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.

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.
