A powerful yet meditative yoga class designed to cultivate both strength and stability—physically and mentally.
This traditionally inspired vinyasa flow guides you through dynamic, breath-led movement, building energy and resilience before easing into restorative, yin postures and meditation.

Meditation & Creativity Retreat
SOMM Annual Silent Retreat November 7 -13, 2025
Join Claire Robbie, Amanda Billing and Caroline Sherratt for this immersive retreat invites you to explore the many facets of yourself through parts work, meditation, creativity, and gentle yoga. No artistic experience is required—just an open heart and a curiosity to explore.
Learn to teach meditation through a deeply personalised, mentor-guided journey.
Traditionally, meditation was passed down in a mentor–mentee style—through direct transmission, individual guidance, and lived experience. Our Teacher Training honours this lineage with a modern approach.

SOMM Pathway Call to tailor practices to your needs and experience
“It is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”
—Thich Nhat Hanh
