WHY WE CHOSE "SŌM" - WHAT IT MEANS TO US...
SŌM /Sohm/
noun Language: Sanskrit 1) Moon In the study of yoga, we explore and seek the balance of feminine and masculine energies in our bodies. These energies are manifested in nature in the form of the sun and moon. The sun represents the active, energetic and masculine aspects of one's self while the moon represents the calming, peaceful and feminine aspects. In our breath, our mind, and our body the vibrations of these energies are connected to our emotions, thoughts and actions. In yoga, we seek to balance these energies through practices such as pranayama, meditation and hatha. At Som yoga, our deep connection is to the Lunar energy - the moon. |
