“I was curious about meditation and had practiced at home for a while, but it wasn’t until I went to SOMM and seen the difference of doing it in person! The sound, the space, the cacao… It just took the whole experience to another level instead of listening to someone on YouTube”

“I’ve always struggled with meditation but I’ve always wanted to give it a go as I understand how much it benefits the stresses of day to day life. Claire’s 5 senses yoga nidra was the first time I felt I was being guided properly where I genuinely felt focused on the meditation and not my growing to do list at home. I felt calm, relaxed, and it really helped start my next week off with clearer, more focused energy. I would highly recommend if you’re ready to meditate with someone so experienced and passionate about the subject.”
