Experience our unique style of yoga

The SomaChi Yoga and Pilates Studio offers a range of classes to suit all abilities and interests.

Our signature yoga style was created by Lianne Metcalf, who is the founder of the SomaChi Studio. The yoga she developed is a unique form of vinyassa flow yoga. It mixes modern and strong movements with traditional hatha yoga postures. SomaChi yoga is also influenced by martial arts and tai chi. It is a dynamic, fluid practice that stills the busy mind and brings aliveness to the body.

SomaChi’s principles and sequences have been applied to different paced classes that cater for all levels. Whether you want a strong class or time to relax, we have the class for you! Look at our class descriptions for more details.

At SomaChi, we want to help you build a healthy, happy life. We hope that our enthusiasm for building a yogic culture that is community focussed and environmentally sustainable will also appeal to you.

What is SomaChi?

Soma = the alive body Chi = energy

In bringing Soma and Chi together, the body and mind is unified, balanced and replenished. Our body-mind intelligence is awoken, and we become aware of the energetic sensations within our bodies. SomaChi Yoga will help you develop a greater awareness and understanding of how amazing your mind and body really is.
