Thank you! It is
hard to imagine where I would be in mind, spirit
and body without Soma Center in my life. The love
and support at Soma Center gives me hope. The
wisdom resonates with me for reasons I don't yet
understand. What I do know is that I always learn
something about myself, others and life when I
step foot into Soma Center. It's been a true haven
for me and continues to be a place where I am
slowly beginning to trust, to love and be happy. I
will take what I have learned and go deep and slow
in my experiences, and rest into and find pleasure
in whatever challenges await...

I have lost 50 pounds since starting my practice at Soma Center and I am still losing! Both the physical and mental aspects of Soma Yoga have contributed to my weight loss success. I first became more mindful of how my body felt during asana practice. As a result of Bobbie's continued suggestions, I started listening to my "inner teacher" in other aspects of my life as well as when I practiced yoga. I made gradual changes in my eating habits without effort. A hypnotherapy workshop at Soma Center supplemented my dedication to the new me. Now, food does not run my life anymore, and poses are so much easier without my belly in the way!
In the realm of personal relationships, throughout my life I have been unable to successfully connect to other people. In participating in Soma Yoga, Sacred Rhythm and movement therapy workshops at Soma Center, I have learned to explore my authentic self and now realize that until I connected with myself, my connections with others would not happen very well. As a result all of my present relationships have deepened and I have new friends!
Soma Center has saved my mind! Since starting my practice, I have become much more relaxed. I still have my "to do" list, but I don't get freaked out if it isn't completed "right now!" I take breaks when I need to , I am more accepting of myself and others, less worrisome, more confident, more productive, and I smile a lot more. I am even more creative and insightful with my work! Thank you Soma Center

Bobbie's knowledge, skill, and her emotional and spiritual depth make her an ideal teacher for those who want to be challenged and nurtured. Bobbie continually grows in her work and brings Soma Center new aspects of practice that keep the experience vital and fresh. My experience at Soma Center have been rich and fulfilling over the past 8 years. I have worked both on group and individual settings with Bobbie and her work has helped me gain levels of awareness that may not have otherwise been accessible. I am grateful to have this opportunity in my life!

Music, clip, clap, feet keep tapping. When our movement teacher came in everyone was excited. When we started I never thought it would be so cool. We did special movements. At the end, I was really relaxed. After doing all that relaxing I never thought I would be mad again. It was like putting yourself in your happy place. The time we laid down on the ground I was so relaxed I could have fallen asleep, then after I felt like I would never stop smiling. To me, that was the best class we've had so far. I liked the part when everyone was quiet and the teacher talked to us about relaxing and put on some quiet music. After that everyone goes to class and we all have a nice day!
