Terra Soma Yoga & Sound Healing

Terra Soma Yoga & Sound Healing

This will be a gentle, invitational evening of yoga, sound, and embodied listening.

Terra soma yoga - translating to earth–body - brings together hatha yoga, somatic inquiry, and nature connection.

This special iteration of Terra Soma is accompanied by live sound healing, offering another layer of support for settling the nervous system and deepening awareness.

This practice invites you to sense into your inner landscape and notice how your body’s rhythms reflect the wider rhythms of the earth. Rather than striving or fixing, you’re encouraged to meet yourself as you are and enter an ongoing, living dialogue around well-being and what it means in the world we’re navigating today.

Throughout the practice, gentle soundscapes will weave through the space, created with a selection of instruments such as guitar, hang drum, and breath-based and melodic tones, responding intuitively to the energy of the room and the unfolding movement.

How is your heart? We often hear “follow your heart” or “listen to your heart,” but what does that actually mean? In this class, you’ll be invited into heart somatic enquiry - locating this intelligent organ, listening into this space, and perhaps allowing it to lead, inform, or express through movement.

The structure of this hour-long class includes:

• A gentle lead-in towards the heart
• A mixture of supine, seated, and standing asana
• Repeated sequences with encouragement to make them your own — add or subtract asana, move in your own time, with your own breath
• Optional free movement explorations
• Live sound woven throughout to support relaxation, presence, and integration

This is an invitational practice. Everything is offered as a choice rather than an instruction. You’re encouraged to move in your own time, with your own breath, honouring what feels supportive in your body.

Your ticket includes a nourishing plant-based dinner and dessert, creating a spacious evening of movement, sound, heartful awareness, and wholesome connection.

Meet Abbie, your facilitator
Abbie is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher who trained with Awakening Arts: School of Yoga and Eco Somatics. She deeply values the insight, liberation, inner and collective resources somatic movement practices can offer. Abbie has also completed a 50-hour training exploring how yoga can support trauma awareness, mental health, and body image. She thrives in and intends to create spaces where each person’s pace is honored and the body’s innate wisdom is encouraged to emerge and lead.

Meet Andre, your sound healer

Andre is a multi-instrumental musician, poet, and pranayama (breathwork) facilitator who offers sound as a supportive layer for embodied awareness and relaxation. For this Terra Soma Yoga & Sound Healing experience, he will create live soundscapes using instruments such as guitar and hang drum, alongside gentle vocal and rhythmic elements, responding intuitively to the movement and energy in the room.

With a long-standing connection to circle work and embodied practices, Andre brings a grounded, attentive presence to the space. His work is guided by a curiosity about what it means to be fully human and how sound, breath, and presence can help us soften, listen inwardly, and reconnect with a sense of aliveness and ease.
