I have personally experienced everything with my body and mind. As a teenager, I always felt unhappy with my body, and for years it felt like a cage. Diet culture, everyday workouts done only with the idea to burn calories, and fitness competitions opened the door wide to eating disorders.
Healing—or I could say the rollercoaster of it—took about six years. I stopped moving for a while, then slowly found my way back through meditation and different healing practices, which even led me to yoga teacher training. That journey brought me home to myself—to loving who I am, with kindness and compassion, right now—without chasing anyone’s standards, but accepting my unique features, both inside and out.
Somos Studio was born out of a love for healthy, mindful, but also a unique and personal style of movement—just like our mats’ design. Self-love starts with full self-acceptance. Appreciate your body for what it enables you to do—experience life, move and interact with the world.
Your body is your home. It’s the only one you have, freely given to you. Take care of it and try to love every part of it — with softness, kindness, and love.
We are Somos. All together. All one.
