ABOUT SOMM Who we are The School of Modern Meditation Our classes, courses and workshops are a modern take on practices that have been around for thousands of years. All our 30 or 60 minute classes are suitable for new and experienced meditators. SOMM has made these time-tested and infallible practices accessible to all and easy to integrate into any kind of schedule. Most of all, we know the benefits of practicing with others in community. All our classes can be done live online or in-person at our central Auckland studio. CLAIRE ROBBIE Founder, SOMM Guided, SOMM BREATHE, SOMM 60, Facilitator of awareness insight meditation Claire Robbie has been a devoted teacher of meditation and yoga for over a decade. She has led retreats, workshops and courses in Peru, Mexico, Los Angeles, New Zealand, Fiji, The Philippines, Costa Rica. She has taught hundreds of people how to meditate, and actively supports her students in their practices. Her teachings are the culmination of her study of Vedic, Hindu and Buddhist traditions integrated with her direct experiences from her daily, non-negotiable practices. I teach people how to develop a daily meditation practice because every fibre of my being loves talking about meditation, practicing, learning about and sharing this ancient tool. I’ve experienced firsthand, what a consistent daily practice has the potential to unravel and open up for us.
