Wherever you are in New Zealand, there’s a seat for you at SOMM
Live meditation, breathwork and movement classes, every day - no drive, no waitlist, no matter your postcode.
Then just $399/year for unlimited daily classes. Cancel anytime.
You don't have to choose between where you live and how you feel.
Roughly 1 in 6 New Zealanders live rurally — and the numbers tell a story a lot of rural Kiwis already know first-hand. The rural regions of Aotearoa consistently report some of the highest rates of chronic loneliness in the country, and distance from everyday services is the single biggest challenge rural communities name.
It was never about attitude. It was about access. Nearly all rural NZ homes are now online — the gap was never connectivity. It was that wellbeing support, classes, and community were all built for someone who lives five minutes from a studio.
SOMM was built for the rest of us.
One membership. Everything that's on.
The Meditation Club isn't a single class or a single teacher — it's daily access to everything happening at SOMM, live, from wherever you are:
Meditation — foundational, guided sessions in the art of presence
Breathwork — including our signature weekly sessions SOMM Breathe, SOMM Exhale and Dynamic Breath, plus longer online Breathwork Journeys
Movement — yoga, Yoga Nidra and mindful movement classes
Qigong — the ancient Chinese practice that brings body, breath and mind into one
Knowledge talks and community sessions — so you're never just watching a video, you're part of something
Can't make a class live? Every session is automatically recorded, so you can practice on your own time — early mornings before the farm wakes up, or late at night after everyone else is in bed.
That's a full daily class timetable, every teacher, every discipline, for less than the cost of one single in-person class a month in the city. $399 a year works out to roughly $7.67 a week — less than a coffee — for unlimited live classes, every single day.
Your membership, made simple.
The Meditation Club is our all-access membership to SOMM's daily live classes — it's the "come every day if you want to" option, and it's separate from our in-depth Courses & Trainings (like our Meditation Fundamentals course or our 200-Hour Teacher Trainings), which are their own standalone programmes with their own enrolment.
Think of it this way:
The Meditation Club ($39/month or $399/year) — unlimited daily live classes across meditation, breathwork, movement and more. This is where you build a practice.
Courses & Trainings (separate, paid individually) — structured, in-depth programmes if and when you want to go deeper, from Meditation Fundamentals right through to teacher training.
And here's the bonus: as a Meditation Club member, you get a member discount when you enrol in any of our Courses & Trainings — so your daily practice can grow into something more, whenever you're ready, at a better price than joining cold
Why our rural community chooses the annual membership.
Most of our rural members start on the monthly plan and switch to annual within the first couple of months — because once SOMM becomes part of your week, it makes sense to lock in the better rate and stop thinking about it.
$399/year vs. $468/year if paying monthly ($39 x 12) — save the equivalent of over a month, paid once, done.
One annual payment instead of twelve reminders — handy if your internet booking window is a once-a-week trip into town, not a daily habit.
Everything unlocks immediately: every live class, every recording, every pillar of SOMM, for the whole year.

No need to be a lonely meditator. We've got you.
SOMM was founded as New Zealand's first multidisciplinary school for meditation, yogic studies, breathwork and self-therapeutic modalities — and from day one, it's been about community over commerce. As our founder Raquel puts it: "SOMM has never been about building the biggest business or maximising profit."
That's exactly why members joining from rural towns and farms across the country are already part of the same classes, same teachers, same supportive community as everyone else in SOMM — no matter how far the nearest studio actually is.
FAQ
Do I need fast internet for this? No high-end setup required — most rural NZ homes already have more than enough broadband for live streaming. If your connection drops, every class is recorded automatically so you never miss out.
What if I can't make the live class time? Every single class is recorded and added to your library, so you can catch up whenever suits — before the stock needs feeding, or after the kids are in bed.
Is this the same as your courses and trainings? No — the Meditation Club is your everyday membership for live classes. Courses & Trainings (like teacher training or Meditation Fundamentals) are separate, in-depth programmes you can enrol in any time — and members get a discount when they do.
Can I cancel anytime? Yes. There's no lock-in on the monthly plan. The annual plan is a single upfront payment for 12 months at the best available rate.
What happens after my 14 days free? You'll move onto your chosen plan ($39/month or $399/year) automatically — cancel any time before then if it's not for you.
