SomaFlow™ is a movement method built on structure, relationship, and return.

It is not defined by a fixed sequence or aesthetic style, but by how movement is entered, met, and resolved. Strength is approached without coercion. Awareness is developed without force. Experience is completed, not abandoned.

SomaFlow™ treats movement as a conversation — one that restores trust between a person and their body through clarity, pacing, and choice.

Rather than directing bodies toward ideal outcomes, the method organises experience so that capacity and identity can come back into alignment over time.

The Origin

SomaFlow™ emerged from years of teaching across Pilates, yoga, and somatic practice — and from noticing what consistently allowed people to stay present with effort rather than override it.

The method was shaped through lived practice, observation, and refinement. What endured was not a style, but a structure: an arc that allows effort to be entered and exited cleanly, without rupture.

SomaFlow™ was developed by Madonna Gott and Alex Quaranta, and continues to evolve through careful stewardship rather than expansion for scale.

What Guides the Work

SomaFlow™ is organised around an arc architecture that applies at every level — class, section, and movement.

This architecture:

  • preserves autonomy without chaos

  • supports strength without domination

  • allows challenge to be met rather than pushed through

  • prioritises integration over accumulation

The method is informed by anatomy, breath, and lived human experience — without requiring performance, belief, or identity adoption.

How to Engage

SomaFlow™ can be experienced through classes, embodied practice, and study of the method itself.

For those wishing to understand the structure more deeply, the SomaFlow™ Method Guide outlines the architectural principles that hold the work together.
