WEEKLY YOGA CLASSES | NORWICH
Tuesday 6-7.15 PM
SOMA FLOW
Happy Om Yoga Studio
In the Vedic tradition, Soma is the sacred delight that awakens higher consciousness. In Tantra, it is the inner nectar of bliss experienced when awareness meets the spiritual heart and energy moves freely. In Ayurveda, Soma is the cooling, nourishing lunar principle that restores and replenishes vitality. In a somatic sense, Soma is the lived, felt experience of being fully present in the body.
Soma Flow is a holistic, complete practice that integrates these teachings. It invites curiosity, exploration, and self-inquiry, awakening awareness and a deeply felt connection to the essence of these ancient traditions. Through somatic and subtle energy practices that are adaptable and spiritually rooted, we cultivate resilience in the whole body while reconnecting to inner guidance.
The intention is to experience our sadhana - our practice as a path of deeper connection to oneself and to the whole of life.
“The Soma of delight and deep nourishment flows best when we give up outer effort and enter into an effortless state of both inner and outer relaxation, which is to open our hearts to the grace and beneficence of the universe in which we live.”
How might we flow with the grace and delight of all existence?
Each class may begin or conclude with guided or sonic meditation to restore clarity and support the quality of your being. Seasonal Ayurvedic wisdom and philosophy are gently woven into the themes, offering ways to explore and support your whole Self ~ body, mind, senses, heart and soul.
These classes welcome newcomers and experienced practitioners alike - anyone who wishes to be moved in their practice, and to remain open to the unfolding processes of becoming and being, both on the mat and in life.
BOOK ONLINE for a single session for £11.50 or get a discounted price of £60 for six classes (it must be used within 8 weeks). *No class on the 5th May*
Tuesday 7.30-8.45 PM
REST AND RESTORE
Happy Om Yoga Studio
This practice blends meditative, slow-paced movement with deeply restorative postures, offering the perfect opportunity to move inward, relax, and reconnect with your body. Using props like bolsters, blocks, and blankets, you will be guided through gentle, supported 'yin' postures that ease tension, improve joint mobility, and nurture connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, joints, and fascia).
Each session is guided by a thoughtful theme and incorporates pranayama (breath techniques) to balance the nervous system, restore energy, and support subtle body awareness. Somatic cues and mindful embodiment help you notice sensation, release habitual tension, and cultivate a deeper connection to your body. Depending on the season, theme, and group energy, the practice may emphasise energy renewal, stress relief, or deep relaxation.
Classes conclude with an extended shavasana or Yoga Nidra - a deeply restorative guided relaxation that allows the body and mind to rest, integrate, and rejuvenate. Over time, you may notice improved posture, ease of movement, and a calm, grounded presence both on and off the mat.
No prior yoga experience is necessary - this practice is accessible to all ages and levels, welcoming complete beginners into the simplicity and depth of slow, mindful and restful movement.
"When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace."

MONTHLY EVENTS & KIRTAN |NORWICH
GATHER ~ Kirtan & Social
22nd May, 6.30-8 PM
Happy Om Yoga Studio
This monthly gathering on the last Friday of the month is an evening of community, sacred sound vibrations, mantras, kirtan chanting, and togetherness.
The word Mantra is derived from two Sanskrit roots: manas ‘mind’, and tra, meaning ‘tool’. Mantra can teach the mind to become increasingly absorbed in that which is most essential. The Upanishads tell us that mantras can lead us towards healing, inspiration, transformation & and self-realisation.
"Mantra is a conversation between the self and divinity. All too often, we separate ourselves from the divine, forgetting our truest nature. Chanting the names of God/Goddesses guides us back to a space of remembrance, of faith, devotion and love."
Kirtan - devotional, melodic call and response chanting in Sanskrit and English.
Calling upon the sacred sound allows your body and mind to absorb its resonance. Come and elevate yourself into a state of joy, unity, and deep connection.

SPECIALS
EMBODIED RESONANCE
12th September, 9.30-11.30 AM
Happy Om Yoga Studio
An extended practice where somatic yoga, mantra, non-dual tantric philosophy, and sound meet in effortless attunement. Rooted in the subtle principles of Nāda Yoga (the yoga of sound), we explore how vibration moves through and as the body. Through movement, breath, and resonance, the body becomes a living instrument, carrying sound in and through us.
Have you ever wondered what it might feel like to let sound guide your movement ~ or to let movement carry the sound through you?
This is a space to explore together, to move with curiosity, and to be fully awake to the ever-unfolding presence of now, and the quiet hum of life beneath it all.
Vibration is the language through which life speaks itself.
BOOKING is essential, as spaces are limited. Open to absolutely everyone /£22, including a homemade treat.
