For Workplaces
Weekly classes, workshops and team events that build strength, explore ways to ease tension and build tools for nervous system regulation
Soma Practice brings Pilates-based movement and accessible nervous system education into the workplace. Teams leave with practical tools they can use at their desks, in meetings and between the demands of the working day, to support their physical wellbeing and nervous system.
Facilitated by Jodi, a qualified Somatic Facilitator, Nervous System Educator and Pilates Instructor with over 20 years of experience in dance, Pilates and somatic movement.
Jodi has delivered workshops for La Trobe University, Access Health & Community and Holstep Health.

“Jodi has a wonderful gift for creating spaces that feel safe, playful, and genuinely explorative, where participants are invited to get curious about their bodies"

"This was one of the best staff development workshops I’ve attended.

The Soma method
Every class, workshop and program follows a nervous system centred sequence:
Ground. Orient. Move. Restore.
-
"I attended a Soma Practice workshop with my team and found it incredibly beneficial.
The interactive elements and clear instructions made the content engaging and helpful. The workshop energised the team and taught us how our body reacts to stress, how we can release built-up stress by adjusting our body, movement and breath.
I highly recommend and encourage teams to attend together”
- Cathy, La Trobe University

“Thank you so much for such a supportive session. I’ve received lots of positive feedback from staff including the well-balanced structure of the session, your ability to hold space for everyone and benefit of the grounding practices—many felt energised.
Thank you for your kindness and care”
