Experience the Essence of Matariki this year at SOMM. Join us for a special Friday night of Yin Yoga with Kayla, where we celebrate Matariki—the Maori New Year—through the meditative practice of Yin Yoga, the taste of cacao, and soulful sounds of waiata Māori.

Matariki, the cluster of stars heralding the Māori New Year, invites us to reflect, renew, and connect with the natural world. In this unique Yin Yoga class, Kayla guides you through gentle, restorative postures that align with each star of Matariki. This practice not only soothes the body but also creates inner reflection and a deep connection to the stories and whakapapa of Matariki.

Yin Yoga offers a slow, meditative style of movement that helps release physical and mental tension, fostering a sense of balance and restoration. The focus on breath, gentle postures, and the art of simply "being" allows you to enter a state of profound relaxation and mindfulness.We begin our evening with a cup of Mamamuti Cacao, lovingly prepared to enhance the rejuvenating effects of our Yin Yoga practice. Known as 'the drink of the gods', cacao uplifts your spirit and taste buds, and promotes deeper relaxation and connection.

Our Friday Night Yin & Cacao sessions are a cherished ritual, included in our Full Access & Founding Memberships. We also warmly welcome drop-ins who wish to share in this beautiful end-of-week celebration.Embrace the stories of Matariki, connect with nature, and nurture your mind and body with us this special Friday night.

Nau mai haere mai.
