SOMA GET FIT.

by Scott Crawford, MABS, MABC, LMT, MFTi

People have very different views of magic. The commonality of magic is the ‘wow’ factor, how did they do that, how did that happen.

This company (SOMA GET FIT) or concept organically develops magic. The magic I allude to is one of synergy relating to inspiration, love and connectedness. The common Denominator: Health-Wellness-Nature-Love-Full-Potential-Release-Beauty-Creativity-Giving-Sharing and much much more.

Susan Aposhyan described SOMA-atic psychology as the ‘body experienced from within.’

Original thought was to bridge a therapeutic model through Psychology utilizing movement and touch.

Life organically created this dream in which a unique emergence of a concept, from our retreat perspective, that allows an individual, couple, small-group to enjoy an experience that can be life transforming. This concept promotes disconnection from life’s distractions, it puts the guest into natural environments which in of itself provide a spiritual intrinsic opportunity for depth experienced from within. Each guest is empowered at every turn within their journey as they process mentally while enjoying movement as sustainability in their past, present, future body.

The Team is comprised of the Best of the Best not only at what they do, but each possessing a loving caring unique eclectic persona. This is truly what sets us apart. The guest will feel the love and brilliance/talent as they work with each team member. The ability of adaptability allows each guest to feel a connectedness in a day and age traveling into entropy of technology. This connection is the magic shared by all parties from the inside out.

The magic as the guest works with the chef, who works with the dietician, who works with the bodyworker, who works with the fitness instructor, who works with the medical director, who works with the SUP instructor, who works with the hike guide, the list of talent continues, but the magic comes from within of each person outward to touch the guest in turn touching each other. The magic that occurs is the thought of change, the presence of love, the felt sense of gratitude, the focus on self in a shared journey with health as the ideal. This magic evolves into lifestyle through spirit each guest and team member refreshed, revived, inspired, reconnected with opportunity to create change for the love of their self or body experienced within. The magic is intuitional, the spirit of a shared feeling. The feeling(s) have an everlasting affect and effect.

Each person travels forward returning in the day to day world with a new idea, a new presence that then inspires and touches others around them. There are no limits.

RECENT COMMENTS REGARDING THE MAGIC:

Jamie Kiffel Alcheh, “Wish working out could feel like…a vacation? Turn your exercise routine inside-out with a SOMA Get Fit Retreat weekend!

The possibilities are endless: you choose your experience, and SOMA will provide the world’s best experts to guide you for two days, a week, or even longer. Jump start fitness, clear your mind and set fire to your creativity–your life may never be the same.”

Erin Harris Mahoney, “think it’s brilliant that Soma makes use of existing landmarks, parks and hotels. Another part of my retreat which I found incredibly invigorating was working out in the fresh ocean air – such a difference from being in a gym, or even being outdoors in many of the polluted parts of Los Angeles. Breathing clean air and looking up at the sky makes a significant difference in how you feel while you exercise.”

Melissa Beaugrand, “It was so rewarding for me to cook for Edward last month. We met at the beginning of his stay here at the farmers market, and I tried to get a sense of what he liked and disliked. Because he was so agreeable and open and easy to talk to, I really feel like I got to know what his general eating habits were. I was able to tweak his meals based on what I thought he normally eats, yet make it healthier and more low calorie. I also got to get feedback!! Yay! Because of what I learned about him, I added more cilantro, I made sure all the carrots were raw. I added lowfat cheese. The feedback was first person – he was able to tell me face to face that he loved something – and it was so rewarding to see his eyes light up thinking about a meal that he had eaten. I think that is what I am going to enjoy the most with SOMA forthwith. I will get to not only meet great people, but get firsthand feedback and be able to make them happy with the food that they are going to eat. Food makes people happy. Food makes me happy. Seeing my food make people happy is priceless.”

Janet Rifken, “I am writing to you about Scott Crawford who has been my trainer since the beginning of September. To say that my experience with him has been life-changing would be an understatement.”
