We are so excited to share that Satori Clarke || Breath & Nervous System Health is leading a brand-new three-week experiential course exploring ADHD through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), the compassionate, parts-based approach to understanding ourselves.

ADHD affects far more than attention. It shapes motivation, emotional regulation, task initiation and working memory, and over the years, many of us build protective inner patterns in response: parts that criticise, push, perfect, avoid, or work overtime just to hold it all together.
Over three live, guided sessions, Satori will help you map your own inner system, understand how your nervous system and ADHD brain interact, and build a more compassionate, and more workable, relationship with the parts of you that have been working so hard.

This is the very 1st quote in the book Mindfulness , a Practical Guide to Awakening by Joseph Goldstein. It’s just so simple, it’s wonderful. It just doesn’t have anything ambiguous about it at all.

This quote talks about when Joseph Goldstein 1st became interested in Buddhism and meditation, and he was looking for a teacher. And he came across Anagarika Manindra, who became his first teacher, and after returning from nine years in Burma, began teaching insight meditation. He said to Joseph Goldstein “if you want to understand your mind, sit down and observe it.” How beautiful.

LSKD x SOMM Winter Series - Cacao & Stretch

Join us for these deeply nourishing evenings designed to help you slow down, stretch your body and set the tone for the weekend ahead. This gentle class combines yin yoga-inspired stretching, mindful movement, breath and a warm cup of cacao to support relaxation and nervous system regulation.
Through long-held floor-based postures and intentional rest, we create space to release physical tension, quiet the mind and reconnect with the body in a grounded and supportive way. Ceremonial cacao — traditionally used to support openness, connection and reflection — offers a gentle heart-opening accompaniment to the practice.
Suitable for all levels, this is an invitation to pause the pace of modern life and spend an evening reconnecting with yourself and others through stillness, warmth, and community.

This event is included in SOMM Full Access memberships - use the app to book and is also a gift for LSKD Athletes. Get in touch for your promo code.

The Meditation Club is here. 💛

A modern-day digital ashram for people who want to practice regularly, learn from experienced teachers and be part of a community that keeps showing up.

Meditation has traditionally been learned in community, and there’s a reason for that. The real power of these practices doesn’t come from motivation alone. It comes from consistency, belonging, accountability and shared practice.

Inside the Club you’ll find live online meditation, breathwork, qigong and movement classes, practical guidance, experienced teachers and a space to keep returning to.

Meditation is easier together; come sit with us.

Link in bio to get 14 days free. 🙌🏼

SAVE THE DATES - LAST CLASSES IN OUR STUDIO

After nearly six incredible years, it's almost time for our final classes in the SOMM studio. This space has held thousands of moments of stillness, breath, laughter, tears, friendships and transformation. It has been a sanctuary for so many of us, and before we close this chapter, we'd love to gather together for some of the OG offerings with CLAIRE ROBBIE Maryam Al-Roubaiai Brian Berneman - Holistic Wellbeing Jo Pearson 🙌🏼

- Wednesday, August 19 at 6:00 pm: Sound master Brian Berneman will offer one of his sound journeys - there is nothing like Brian's sound offering, and SOMM was the home for these for so long.

- Friday, August 28 at 7:00 pm: Yin & Cacao with Claire (all attendees go in the draw to win an LSKD 'fit')

- Thursday, August 27 at 6:00 pm: New Beginnings - a Breathwork Journey with Jo Pearson

Friday September 11: The Last Community Class in SOMM Studio with Claire & Maryam

All of these are included in our Full Access Membership, and for drop-ins, hop over to our website and book via Humanitix.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning or have only recently found SOMM, we'd love to see you there. This isn't goodbye; it's the beginning of a new chapter, and we'll continue to practice and grow together.

We're finding new homes and communities for our offerings, like Eastwest for our Friday nights together, more outdoor experiences, and so much co-creation.

Also, we are selling much of the studio furniture and props, so if there's anything you would like to enquire about, please DM us - lockers, shelves, rugs, event table etc.
