the training philosophy

Yoga in its original essence is about remembering and reclaiming an innate aliveness. This is the primary focus of this training.

Soma Yoga is based on the following foundation pillars:

  • Non-dual tantric philosophy - an ancient quantum philosophy that teaches oneness and togetherness over separation and a limited nature.

  • Cyclical practice - the soma yoga practice is based on the seasons of nature, a literal physical remembering of our oneness with nature

  • Non-linear, embodied, somatic movement - you will be taught a sequence to help land the practice in your soma//body and also we will lead through proprioceptive alignment, somatic attunement and embodied presence with another being.

  • Nervous system attunement — you will learn to understand fight, flight, and freeze, and to teach through a polyvagal-informed lens, so that practice supports the nervous system's own capacity to regulate, rather than overriding it.

  • Fascial connectivity - fascia is the way electricity and therefore life moves through the body, we will focus on fascial and energetic lines for vitality

  • The art of space holding - this is not a rinse and repeat training, you will learn what it really means to be a space holder and how to theme, sequence and create intentional practices

  • Somatic business awareness - being a teacher is also about showing up as a space holder and modules will include somatic business support

  • Rachel Cruickshank

    With over 10 years experience in Ashtanga, Rocket, Mandala, Yin, Pregnancy, Embodiment and Somatics, my passion is soma school. A place where all of you is worthy and all of you is welcome.

    This body, this portal, this vessel: it wants to move. Into freedom, liberation, belonging and authenticity. My intention in this training is to create a space and framework where you can open the conversation with your own body and learn tools to guide someone else into their body through the ancient practice of yoga.

    Rachel is mama soma and creator of this school and yoga practice through years of study in the laboratory of life and body.

  • Nicole Driscoll

    With over 7 years teaching experience and an extensive background in Dharma yoga, Mandala Vinyasa, Rocket, Yin, Budokon Mobility & Yoga, Tripsichore, body awareness and adjustments and Somatics, movement has always been at the heart of my practice.

    My intention in this training is to bring my experience and knowledge of movement into the space, to help guide students to explore their potential whilst supporting them to develop a deeper relationship with their own body and the bodies of those they will teach.

    Ultimately, I want to help people feel more alive in their bodies, more connected to themselves and more confident in their own expression.
