Subtle Space Soma

This is a space
Where the body can be heard, slowly
Here
Through touch and awareness
I guide you back to your body

Loosening the Soil

Roots grip tight for stability

So does the body's tension

We simply loosen the soil, creating space
The rest unfolds naturally

Water

Touch is like water

Pausing at the boundary
Waiting to permeate

Letting defenses fade naturally
Accompanying the body through that narrowness again

About Me

Chain at work in the studio, beside a sheet-covered table

I'm Chain.
A few years ago I began practising with my own body. At first I only wanted to use it a little better. Later I found the whole thing ran deeper than I'd expected.

Those years of practice slowly moved me away from "how do I fix this problem," toward understanding how a person's weight, breath, bones and movement shape one another.

I'm still practising — and I treat each session as time spent observing a body together.

Space

Inside the studio: a sheet-covered table by wooden blinds, a singing bowl and a hanging scroll on the shelf
01 · Location

Subtle Space is about a 10-minute walk from MRT Fuzhong Station.
An independent space partitioned from a residence, hidden within everyday life, yet maintaining complete privacy.

02 · Visiting

Please wear soft, comfortable clothing.
Apart from a few questions at the start, there won't be much talking here.
We leave the time to breathing, and to the body.

03 · Residents

I live here with my partner and Yima, a small dog.
Yima is usually quite interested in people, and may occasionally make sounds or bring some of life's movements into the space.
If you are allergic to dogs or sensitive to sounds, please let me know in advance — you're welcome to check with me whether this space suits you.

Stay

Silence is not stillness.

Beneath the breath,
There is a deeper rhythm.

Whenever you're ready,
walk in.
