Offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of Dubai, SOHUM Wellness Sanctuary offers a serene escape in a city where residents often find themselves overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
SOHUM Wellness Sanctuary encourages guests to pause, reconnect and realign with themselves by immersing in a space where Ayurvedic traditions come to life.
Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ‘ayur’ (life) and ‘veda’(science or knowledge), translating to ‘knowledge of life.’ Rooted in the principles of the three doshas; ‘Vata (Air and Space)’, ‘Pitta (Fire and Water)’ and ‘Kapha (Water and Earth)’, each can be identified as being unique to the individual, and contribute to shaping one’s physical, emotional and mental characteristics.
At SOHUM Wellness Sanctuary, founded by Ms. Tanya Mansotra just last year, guests are welcomed to experience the pillars of Ayurveda including ‘Panchakarma’, to revitalise with therapies like Abhyanga and Shirodhara; ‘Ritucharya’, to align one’s lifestyle as per the changing seasons; ‘Dinacharya’, embracing healthy habits; ‘Yoga and Pranayama’; and ‘Ayurvedic diet and nutrition’, where SOHUM Café’s plant-based menu caters to one’s dosha and contributes to promoting digestion and well-being.
Take a step towards understanding emotion, self-introspection and ways to radiate positive energy using Ayurveda which serves as a guiding path – nurturing not only the body but expanding to a holistic approach to improve overall health and wellbeing.
For those looking to begin their Ayurvedic journey, SOHUM Wellness Sanctuary encourages the first step today, with a complimentary consultation with the in-house Ayurveda Practitioner, Dr. Abhirami Santhosh, until 1stOctober 2025. As part of this experience, guests will also receive a specially prepared Ayurvedic drink personalised to their dosha, emphasising the start of one’s journey towards balance and holistic wellbeing.
A range of authentic Ayurvedic massages are available in support of the consultation, including the ‘Shirodhara’, an exquisite Ayurvedic ritual involving a steady stream of warm, medicated herbal oil poured onto the forehead promoting relaxation, stress relief and improving clarity and focus, ‘Abhyanga’, a traditional Ayurvedic practice that involves a warm oil massage designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation, and the ‘Netra Tarpanam’, a rejuvenating eye treatment where medicated oil is held over the eyes using a freshly made dough ring to soothe tired eyes, ease screen strain and restore clarity.
SOHUM Wellness Sanctuary welcomes the community with open arms in their journey to become a better version of themselves. Step into the world of Ayurveda today and take the first step towards holistic wellbeing.
