Howdy!

Co-Owners Joe and Helen Terry are delighted by the success off our annual Soma “off the track” Black retreat experience. Thank you to all who attended the retreat, public classes, special events and our monthly Cuppa (we raised $200)

The February challenge (the month of LOVE) has kicked off beautifully, Special guest, Erin Curren is teaching Saturday morning classes and we preparing for next weekend’s February 18th iRock Star Sunday 1pm Jam.

Be well, with love from

Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.

“Off the Track” Success

9 years ago, celebrating her 50th birthday, Helen chose to offer an “off the track” retreat experience. Not a Nia Belt training, instead a retreat for upper Nia Belts, an experience that includes an excellent review into Nia theory, fabulous opportunities for practice and plenty of time for community, creativity and fun.

This year the experience felt like a beautiful “full circle” completion. In Nia choreography we have a concept called “body centered clicks” = the right fit by accident. This retreat fondly named “Kaleidoscope” felt like many elements came together in perfect formation.

Thank you Angela, Cambrey, Emily Jane, Joy, Mary and Peggy for the brilliance, joy and care you brought to the experience.

Monthly Cuppa for St Jude

We had a lovely Birthday class followed by cuppa and cake to celebrate Helen’s birthday AND raise funds for St Jude.

Dear Kay, Peggy, Susannah, Emily Jane, Emily Jane, Joy, Kay, Becki, Cambrey, JoAnn, Mary, Kitt and Gigi.

Thank you for choosing to hang out after class on Monday for our “Monthly Cuppa”. We appreciate your generous donations to St Jude, today we raised $200.

Being able to relax, sit down outside, enjoy the weather and delightful conversations was a treat. These monthly connections are very special times. The opportunity to connect, learn more about each other, laugh and support was much appreciated.

We raised $200 for St Jude (our annual fundraising campaign)

“These monthly meetings are very important to me and other people in the group. I love and need the opportunity to connect and appreciate these special cuppas.”

Saturday Morning Body + Life Transformation with Erin

Saturday 2/10/24 Erin Curren is teaching both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages class and the 10:00am class.

Continuing our February Challenge of Love. We will focus on the love of learning, education and transformation.

After 5 stages lesson Erin will continue the focus into the 10:00am movement experience to a lovely mix of Nia music from Alive, Joy and Birth

FOCUS of 5 Stages: Body + Life Transformation

FOCUS of Nia Class: Loving growth

INTENT: Sense how subtle inner shifts lead to body + life transformation

ROUTINE: Alive+Joy+Birth Mix

TEACHER: Erin Curren

COMMENTS: I love how we grow here on Earth, along with all life... We don't grow in outer space! How does subtly shifting our awareness spark creativity and new possibilities? Sometimes simply saying a word out loud shifts our perception, or doing something at a different time of day, or with our non-dominant side. We grow in relationships with others. We grow in conversation, hearing ourselves and others process and respond. We are each other's mirrors! I love serving folks on the path of transformation, as a Nia teacher, a Life Coach and a Playback improvisor.

Questions:

• Am I willing to grow today?

• My body is always changing: what small shift do I sense in this moment?

• How might I use the 5 sensations of fitness to help me shift when I feel stuck?

• What expectations do I bring to my own growth? What assumptions?

• What if ... What if... What if...

• ...I embrace my own growth and others' with unconditional love?

Thank you for joining me for class today! And thank you for being a part of this incredible community!

“Continuing Education for an adult is to go back to the non-thinking, pre-verbal experience of being curious and noticing in the senses,
“Does this feel better?”
“Does this feel comfortable?”
“Is this giving me Pleasure?”

— Nia 5 Stages

In the Nia 5 Stages, you are invited to a place of sensitivity that enables you to observe and release the sensation of stress and embrace the sensations of Dynamic Ease, Pleasure, and comfort. Beginning with the Nia 5 Stages class, which most often is described as a luxurious healing hour of setting the focus for the 10am movement experience that follows.

When you sign up for a class you are automatically sent the Zoom link for class. You can also find links for class at the top of our private Facebook Group, in “Featured": https://www.facebook.com/groups/helenterry

You are welcome to attend either class. And, when you’re able to attend both classes, something magic happens! The entire Nia 5 stages class is like a rich 60 minute introduction to the 10am Nia class, a beautiful compliment and super preparation.

In this gentle, self discovering, potentially healing Nia 5 stages experience

• your body gets to settle into and taste the Nia class focus

• your mind can learn new and novel information,

• your heart may open to receive more with fascination up and frustration down

• your spirit could be tickled and curious to experience more

“My body may be a mystery, and yet through sensation
this mystery, this secret will reveal itself to me. . .
I need only to move, to slip into the mind of sensation, and to influence my choices with love, comfort and pleasure, for the pattern of creation and life is birthed from love”

— Nia 5 Stages

Filled with Gratitude

As we near the end of our first month in 2024, and prepare for February, our Soma “Love your Body, Love your LIFE” month, I am filled with gratitude.

Today was one of those classes that clicked. I’ve enjoyed almost every class I’ve taught for the past 30+ years. I often feel incredible joy as I dance to the music “leading people on”. And then there are days like today where everything clicks effortlessly together. I’m taken to a different time and space. Where I feel suspended in timeless, wrapped with joy, bathed in comfort, with incredible gratitude for my “job”, my class, our community, both ONLINE and in person here in the studio, at Soma Ranch.

Some of the dots that connected today:

• more than 95% of the ladies who show up for class have been coming for YEARS, some of them DECADES!

• more than 95% of the “Soma Ranch” regular attendees sign up for the year unlimited. They make a long term commitment. Their support, both financially and energetically, help sustain me.

• Becki (one of our regular local participants) brought a friend

• My Mum (in England) took the class ONLINE and I could see her on the wall of smiles dancing with us

• Several fellow teachers, who have their own classes to teach, and a plethora of choices for where/how they can take a class, attended my class.

• Folks online left sweet comments in the chat

• Folks in the room shared fabulous complimentary feedback

• We hovered in the waiting room, chatting, catching up, casting future get togethers = these women really care and connect :-)

“Though we’re taught the heart is a pump, it actually doesn’t pump; rather, it responds to pressure. The pressure the heart responds isn’t from one thing – the pressure comes from what is outside the body and what is inside the whole body - barometric pressure outside, emotional pressure from the outside, internal angst and pressure from the inside, physical pressure from plaque or cholesterol narrowing the amount of space in the arteries.”

Soma Faith Kaleidoscope

Sunday 02/04/24 Soma Ranch Co-Owner, Helen Terry, is leading a special Soma Faith Dance at 5pm Helen’s latest “work in progress”, Kaleidoscope.

A fabulous class where we explore the relationship between the many parts of us (Body, Mind, Emotion, Spirit), with the many parts of our body (Bones, Muscles, Tendons, Ligaments, Skin) to express movement from the inside out, heart to hands, earth to heaven, with the intent to feel relaxed, expressive and fulfilled.

“ka·lei·do·scope
/kəˈlīdəˌskōp/
a constantly changing pattern
or sequence of objects or elements.
”the dancers moved
in a kaleidoscope of color””

— Oxford Dictionary

This classes are Triple HYBRID, where you can choose:

1. In Person at Soma Ranch

2. LIVE Online via Zoom and/or

3. Enjoy a 24 hour replay

This movement experience is suitable for beginners and people of all different fitness backgrounds.

“Each time you look at a kaleidoscope, new beautiful arrangements appear magically. This figuratively suggests that one should approach the most difficult situations in life by changing one’s attitude to the circumstances because life is truly amazing. It also means there is so much to look forward to, regardless of the worst lows you might encounter. Things fall apart sometimes, but they can always be put back together even if in a different pattern, much like the stunning art in a kaleidoscope.”

Sir David Brewster, the Scottish scientist, invented this wonderful instrument in 1816 when he experimented with light polarization. He mixed up a few Greek words that meant “observer of beautiful shapes” and succinctly came up with the word “kaleidoscope”.

Here at Soma Ranch we are preparing for our fabulous upcoming annual Rock Star Retreat. This is where our teaching team flies in from Canada and around the US to get together AND to share some special public events with you. All classes are triple hybrid, this means you can (1) come to Soma and enjoy the class (2) attend LIVE ONLINE via Zoom (3) receive a 24HR replay.

We’ve provided options to select individual events or sign up for the COMBO to save and receive all class options (create a mini retreat for yourself next weekend ;-)

The Soma “off the track” Black retreat experience, open to all Nia Brown Belts and above, is coming up Feb 1 - 7, 2024. Let Helen know if you’d like more information.

Be well, with love from

Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.
