Love fills in the gap of loneliness and generates a euphoric sense of belonging, creating one of the strongest, naturally produced pain relievers. As humans, we are also hardwired to seek out and maintain these social bonds as a means of preservation. The irony for many of us is that just because we desire to be loved and have a biological drive for it does not mean that we can receive it—or for that matter—even tolerate the presence of it.

The ancient tradition of Yoga is rooted in the mind-body connection and believes that any part of this interconnected system — comprised of body, mind, and spirit — can influence the rest of that system.

If we wish to transform the “I can’t” response into “I can," we are called to touch upon the cultivation of compassion for ourselves. We are called to tap into our courage and strength, to lean towards our own experience of suffering, both for ourselves and for the world.

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and family gatherings. However, it can also be a time of stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling to stay calm during the holiday season, somatic based practices and therapies may be able to help you feel more grounded, centered and peaceful through whatever this season brings you.

‘Soma’ is a Greek word for ‘the living body known from within’, or known to the Self. This ‘knowing’ signifies wholeness. Somatic therapy is an experiential approach towards mindbody integration and can assist you to find calm and peace in challenging moments.

The end of one year and the start of another is a time for reflection, renewal, and resetting. To thank you for being a part of this very special global community we have three offerings for you to support you in that process.

We wish you the most wonderful holiday season and we look forward to continuing our journey with you as part of the collective embodiment in 2023.

Thank you for being here with us.

Are you living like you love yourself? What does this idea mean to you? Living like you love yourself is, in short, living in a way that honors who you are at every level of your being, recognizing that who you are is more than how or what you think, or your physical appearance, or your current situation or life circumstances. And in a world where your external power is often contingent on these very characteristics, Living like you love yourself optimizes your internal power by connecting you deeply to what feeds you and what stops you so that you can make choices, however limited or unlimited they may be that truly serve who you are.
