So'Hum
sah = "that" and aham = "I"
So'hum or rather So'ham (pronounced sohum) is an ancient Vedic mantra that when translated means "I am That" or more loosely
"I am one with the universe"
This beautiful universal mantra is chanted in rhythm with the breath, and aligns the micro with the macrocosm.
The inhalation of breath makes the subtle sound of 'So', and the exhalation of breath creating the sound 'Hum', hence 'SoHum'.
So'Hum Studios offers tailored 1-2-1 and small group classes and sessions in yoga history, philosophy, asana, pranayama, energy healing, self-enquiry/study, mythology, yoga nidra and meditation.
It is also a space for reflection and expression through essays and research papers, thought musings, poetry and art.
We create original artwork and prints using sustainable materials which you can purchase for you and your loved ones.
Our occasional musings for sustainable living via our blog Gold Dust share inspiring ideas, link you to well-being resources that you can count on, tried and tested plant-based, healthy recipes and people we love and can vouch for that we think you should know about.
