Pillars of SOMM: Meditation, Breathwork, Movement, & Plant Medicine
In today's fast-paced world, there's never been a greater need for practices that bring us back to ourselves and each other. At School of Modern Meditation, we've woven together four powerful pillars: Meditation, Breathwork, Movement, and Plant Medicine to create a holistic ecosystem that addresses the whole person: body, mind, heart, and spirit. Much of our work sits at the intersection of different traditions, with awareness being the fundamental anchor.
We offer a non-dogmatic approach to mastering our inner world to transform our relationship with the outer world. Our teachers come from different lineages (such as Buddhist, Yogic, and Vedic) and styles of practices, ensuring a rich and diverse learning experience. We prioritise online offerings so you can access daily classes, courses, and trainings from anywhere around the world.
Our 4 Core Pillars
Meditation
Meditation begins with foundational classes that teach you the art of presence. As you deepen your practice, our Meditation Teacher Training empowers you to share these ancient wisdom traditions in modern, accessible ways. Our online livestream classes make meditation accessible to anyone, anywhere.

Breathwork
Breathwork is one of our most dynamic offerings, including SOMM Breathe, SOMM Exhale, and Dynamic Breath weekly classes. Or a deeper practice of Breathwork Fundamentals courses to our Online Breathwork Journeys which bring the power of conscious breathing into your home. Our Breathwork Facilitator Training prepares you to guide others through these profound transformational experiences.

Movement
Yoga at SOMM is more than just physical postures. Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training provides a comprehensive foundation in both the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga. For those seeking to work with marginalised communities, our 50-Hour Trauma-Informed Community Yoga training offers specialized skills for creating safe, inclusive spaces.

Qi Gong is an ancient traditional Chinese practice that integrates body, breath, and mind. Classes are guided by Rebekah Dack and Amanda Wright.
Somatics is woven into our meditation, breathwork, and plant medicine offerings. We explore body-based resourcing techniques to influence nervous system states for down-regulating and activating practices.
Plant Medicine
Plant Medicine invites us to be in relationship with nature, our inner worlds, and beyond. We recognise the growing interest in psychedelic-assisted therapies and personal growth. Our programmes are designed for those who are interested in a trauma-informed, community-centril, and peer-led approach. Our Woman's Journey on Mushrooms creates a sacred container for feminine wisdom to emerge. The Guide to Microdosing offers practical tools for integrating plant medicine into daily life. Yin & Cacao sessions combine gentle movement with heart-opening plant medicine. And our Fundamentals of Psychedelic Care provides gateway training for those called to work with these powerful medicines.
