The Class

A music-driven somatic method where we exercise the body to engage the mind and open the heart. Founded by Taryn Toomey

The practice is mat-based and music-driven. We repeat one move per song to create sensation in the body and observe our thoughts. In any given Class students can expect guided instruction and a carefully curated playlist to lead them through exercises they are familiar with such as—squats, jumping jacks, and burpees. The result is a mental clearing and emotional release. Through continued practice, students develop tools to empower their life, along with an incredibly strong, resilient, body.

The Winter Solstice arrives today, bringing the deepest night and shortest day of the year.

This season offers a natural pause, a slowing that invites us to settle, breathe, and reconnect with our inner landscape.

As the sun reaches its farthest tilt, we’re called to rest, slow down and make space for the questions that form in the dark. What are you ready to set down? And what small fire is ready to rise within you?

The December Cold Moon rises tomorrow as a quiet invitation to slow down, soften, and listen inward.

Its pale light marks a moment of deep pause, a place where clarity can finally catch up to us. In the stillness, truths we’ve ignored begin to surface.

What becomes clearer when you stop? What is asking for your attention now?

Let it go. The tension, the thoughts, the old stories.

Release what no longer serves you so you can make space for what does.

We loved listening to and .therapy explain how somatic movement helps you actually feel stress and emotion, giving your body a chance to release what your mind has been looping on.

The Class reinforces this by using breath, repetition, and sound to regulate the nervous system in real time.

And that regulation help create the internal space CBT needs to interrupt old patterns and choose a new response.
