Somatic Ecstatic
A journey into embodied presence through movement, breath, and awareness
Beyond Ordinary Meditation
Somatic Ecstatic is not just another meditation class. It's an immersive exploration of consciousness through the wisdom of the body.
Each session weaves together elements from two decades of experience in psychotherapy, meditation, movement practices, and embodied processing—creating a unique tapestry of experience that must be felt to be understood.
No two journeys are the same. Each class is thoughtfully crafted to guide you into new territories of awareness and sensation.
The Elements of Our Practice
Gentle Movement
Intuitive yoga-inspired sequences that awaken the body's innate intelligence and release stored tension.
Fluid Awareness
Guided meditations that help you navigate the ever-changing currents of sensation and emotion with grace.
Breath Work
Conscious breathing techniques that expand your capacity for presence and vitality.
Ecstatic Integration
The transformative alchemy that happens when movement, breath, music, and awareness come together in the present moment.
"The body is not a thing, it is a situation: it is our grasp on the world and the outline of our projects."
— Simone de Beauvoir
What to Expect
A Safe Container
Each session begins with the creation of a sacred space where exploration can happen freely. All bodies, all abilities, all experiences are welcome.
Guided Experience
You'll be skillfully led through a flowing sequence of mindful movement, breath awareness, and meditative states—no prior experience necessary.
Individual Journey
While we move as a collective, each person's experience is unique. You're invited to listen deeply to your own body's wisdom and needs.
Integration
We close with time for reflection and integration, allowing the experience to settle into your system and extend its benefits into your everyday life.

Reserve Your SpaceCommon Questions
Not at all. Somatic Ecstatic is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level. The practice meets you where you are and invites you to explore at your own pace.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement. Bring a yoga mat if you have one (some are available to borrow), a water bottle, and an open mind. Everything else is provided.
Somatic Ecstatic integrates elements from various modalities but follows no single tradition. Each session is a unique composition that responds to the collective energy of the group while drawing on deep psychological understanding and somatic awareness.
Classes are currently held in central Bournemouth on Wednesday evenings. The exact location details are provided upon registration. Private sessions and workshops are also available by arrangement.
